This was the result of a txt message at some ungodly hour from EJ “Any chance you have time to help me record a song in the studio? I’m tryna do something nice for my best friend who’s coming to town” Now EJ ment record the song like grab a couple of microphones and send it straight to 2 track. I took it as a let’s haul down all the lights and the camera to Record a song. This is the result of that miscommunication :) We fired down to the studio and set up some Large diaphragm condenser mics and plugged them all into the Zoom F8. I went with the F8 as apposed to dragging a computer down and hooking up the multiple track audio interface and everything as it was supposed to feel like and off the floor. They literally wrote this song a few hours earlier while hanging on the beach. This was also a one camera, but multisession shoot. Meaning that we recorded them performing the song start to end from a few different angles and then I cut it together in post, but we didn’t play to a click track or film to playback. I literally got them to perform it till they had an audio take that felt good and then we called it good. complete with all the variance that comes from multiple performances :) If I get a chance I will pull together a video about how I did this quickly and easily in premiere.
