The Studio
I haven't posted about the studio lately - time for an update. In list form. Because I love lists. Especially numbered lists.
1. Got my PD100 DVcam back from repair today... good news.
2. Got it back to the studio and realized they broke the autofocus when they replaced the drum.... bad news. Three more weeks 'til it comes back.
3. Thanks to Alex, I have a sweet 12 channel audio mixer, a delightful audio compressor/limiter, and more cords than I could shake a six foot chunk of coax at.
4. Put a rug down on the floor to try to soak up some of the echoes - need more. Anyone have some acoustical foam squares they want to give me?
5. Have started the hunt for lighting and furniture. This is the space:
6. Need to figure out what to put in that space to make it a cozy little interview spot. Director's chairs? A sofa? A life size statue of myself? Naked? Under a spotlight?
7. I need a decent video lighting kit.
8. Did I mention that the studio has a whopping TWO power outlets? I hope they've got a beefy breaker in this joint backing 'em up.
9. Thanks to Craigslist, I found a dude who wants to share the studio with me - he'll be working in here during the day until 4:30. Split the rent. Still not sure what kind of work he does.
So that's where things stand right now. Shooting for the first show sometime in late November or early December.

At some point you should count and list the cords, just for fun.
You're high.
I like the space, especially the brick wall. What kind of shows will you do?
Right now, I envision the show as a 10 minute weekly knockoff of The Daily Show with a bit more of a local spin on the news, and local interviewees (comedians, actors, etc.).
All this assumes that I will someday get the studio running and find someone cool to host the show.
I still think you should call it "Steve's Closet" with you hosting or co-hosting the show.
