The StudioBard crew started September rolling with the launch of a full-length feature film project, Magic Man. The movie, co-written and directed by long-time StudioBard client Stuart Cooper, is being produced in Los Angeles and edited by Bill Butler (Jaws, Grease).  Michael Bard will be the sound supervisor on Magic Man and will oversee the entire audio post-production - including a 5.1 surround mix at StudioBard. Party like a Rock Star! @Large Films dropped in to record and mix a set of web videos promoting Stage Kit - a new accessory for the Wii game, Rock Band. The project marked another successful venture in the collaboration between @Large Films and StudioBard for Nintendo’s Wii gaming system. August was a busy month for radio with projects from the Hallock Agency, Gard Communications and Wieden + Kennedy.  Engineer Brad Spradlin was out in the field recording interviews for ID Branding and Tri-Met’s educational program, “RideWise.”  Michael Bard was at the console composing an original score for Cappelli-Miles [spring] and Peace Health. Vocal diva Julianne Johnson (star of the recent stage production of Dream Girls) fronted a gospel group in the studio, adding her own brand of soul to the custom soundtrack on those TV spots. AudioLandscapes, the multi-media branch of StudioBard, has been named a finalist in the 2008 NAI Media Competition for their audio program, “Eastern Sierra Roadside Heritage/Hwy 395: Paiutes, Prospectors and Pioneers.” AudioLandscapes is also excited to announce the launch of their newly revamped website! With client-friendly updates and a fresh, new look - plus space to blog about new projects and ideas - the website is a powerful tool to connect clients and producers.  See for yourself at www.audiolandscapes.com!
