Month: October 2014

As part of HOLLYWOOD IMPACT STUDIOS continuing education series, our alumni, along with some of our instructors and  supporters recently visited the 20th Century Fox lot.   We started our visit at the scoring stage which everyone truly enjoyed.  A live orchestra scoring a television show is really something to see.

Afterwards we took off for a tour of the lot, visiting many of the historic sites of early Hollywood.

We went by and visited Bob Anger in Fox Grip, who gave a tour.   What a great guy with a lot of knowledge and history.

We also toured wardrobe and New York Street (the Fox backlot).

.

We ended the day with lunch and a discussion on futures, jobs and life.  It was truly a great day that everyone seems to enjoy.

 

 

I was talking to a friend about how interesting it is to see how each department in post production has their own idea of what is the most important component to a finished episode of television.   The composer wants their music a little louder, the writer wants their words favored, the director of photography often wants the picture darker and so on…  I explained that it takes a good executive producer to step back and look at the entire episode from start to finish and decide what is important, what is right and what is wrong and weave all of these elements together to make the best episode possible.   My friend simply smiled and said, just like God does with our lives.   He truly knows what is best for us.   He is our Executive Producer.
