AudioComics Pulp in San Francisco
November 24th, 2011 § 2 Comments
On Saturday, November 19, AudioComics Pulp history was made on Mission Street in San Francisco at Broken Radio Studios, site of the legendary Coast Recorders Studio. Ably engineered by Piper Payne, Craig Neibaur, Karen Stilwell, and the members of the Pulp Adventures Acting Company (Bill Chessman, Suzan Lorraine, Kevin Donnelly, Mandy Brown, Peter Carini, Peter Papadopoulos, and Perry Aliado) recorded our first of many Green Lama and Domino Lady audio movies (or in this case audio shorts).
Pete Carini said it best when it was all over: “about twenty minutes from now I’m going to have an adrenaline crash.”
One of the things that I love about the process is that it is an adrenaline rush for everyone involved, especially the director! The actors need breaks, I personally can’t do it; gotta keep rolling like a rocket!
From New York City to San Diego we traveled over the course of seven hours, with Karen “The Domino Lady” Stilwell in a black evening gown, no less. Karen’s boyfriend, Tom Spingola, generously donated his time to video the sessions, so AudioComics Pulp will have a YouTube presence as well. And we have enough great outtakes for that all-important track: the blooper reel! (Thank you, Kevin and Craig!) Next week your humble director begins the first edit on the voice-tracks, and Bill Dufris has a plethora of SFX and period music to put us in the mood. So as we prepare for our mandatory tryptophan overdose, enjoy a few more photos from our AudioComics Pulp session, and tell your friends to buy a download or two or three of The Green Lama and The Domino Lady next February! But now…photos!
This is truly exciting stuff and I’ll personally be anxious to hear the finished recordings. Oddly enough the cover to our just released – Airship 27 presents ALL STAR COMICS does in fact feature the Green Lama & Domino Lady together on the front cover, as beautifully rendered by artist Jeff Butler.
Looking forward to the Domino Lady audio drama!
