EXCLUSIVE : George Miller is distracted. Five minutes into our meeting, he begs forgiveness to take a quick call. And then, on an iPad tilted in his direction, the filmmaker watches as a camera feed from the Australian outback offers him a live view of a pre-shoot for his next feature, Furiosa . His supervising stunt coordinator and second unit director, Guy Norris, whose work with Miller stretches back to 1981’s Mad Max sequel The Road Warrior , is already shooting sequences for the new film. Set 15 years before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road , the film will tell the backstory of Charlize Theron’s enigmatic Furiosa, this time played by Anya Taylor-Joy. “Here I am doing an interview with you halfway across the world, and I’m able to look at this footage being shot far west from where I am and we’re discussing it as we go through the process,” says Miller, marveling at the technology. “It’s amazing, really.” It has been seven years since Fury Road … [Read more...] about Inside George Miller’s 20-Year Quest To Make ‘Three Thousand Years Of Longing’, As ‘Furiosa’ Revs Her Engines – Cannes

Livestreaming is changing the face of the music industry. A big part of the appeal of livestreaming is that it’s relatively simple to pull off—all you need is Shure’s MV88+. In the early days of the pandemic, workers in various industries were looking for possible silver linings to arise from the global shutdown. The most salient of these was a shift towards flexible working conditions, including the option to work from home. Live performers and event staff were some of the most harshly affected by Australia’s pandemic restrictions and lockdowns. For instance, according to I Lost My Gig Australia , more than thirty-two thousand gigs and events were cancelled between July 1st and August 31st, 2021, leading to $94.3m of lost income. But if there’s one thing musicians and content creators know how to do, it’s work from home. And so, with much of the Australian population confined to their homes and chewing through the libraries of various on-demand streaming services, … [Read more...] about Livestreaming Is Here to Stay – Getting started with Shure’s MV88+ Video Kit

Shure’s MV7 – a descendent of the famous SM7B vocal microphone – was designed to overcome the various limitations of home recording set-ups. There’s a famous story in audio engineering circles concerning Bob Dylan’s 31 st album, Love & Theft , released when the Nobel Prize-winning songwriter was 60 years old. Dylan is listed as the album’s sole producer, but there’s no denying the significance of engineer Chris Shaw, who helped Dylan generate the album’s bright, clean tones. Shaw already had an impressive CV in 2001, including engineering and mixing credits on albums by Weezer, Super Furry Animals, and Butthole Surfers. But the thing that caught Dylan’s ear was the vocal sound Shaw captured for Public Enemy’s political hip-hop juggernaut, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988). So, Bob Dylan, in 2001, on his 31 st record – a blues and roots rock affair, no less – was keen to emulate the vocal sound from one of hip-hop’s most … [Read more...] about Why Every Home Studio Needs a Shure MV7 Microphone

UPDATE (22/3/2022): Amanda Bynes is a free woman. Nearly nine years after the Easy A actor was placed in a court-ordered conservatorship that gave her mother decision-making power over her healthcare and security, a judge terminated the guardianship arrangement Tuesday. “The court finds that petitioner has provided facts that the conservatorship is no longer needed or required, therefore the petition for termination is granted,” Ventura County Judge Roger Lund said at the morning hearing that Bynes did not attend. “She’s done everything the court has asked over a long period of time,” the judge said. “She’s excited. She was looking forward to a favorable result, and she got it,” Bynes lawyer, David Esquibias, told Rolling Stone immediately after the hearing. He later released a statement from his client. “Words can’t even describe how I feel. Wonderful news. Following today’s decision by the judge to terminate my conservatorship, I would like to thank my fans for … [Read more...] about Amanda Bynes’ 9-Year Conservatorship Ends: ‘She’s Done Everything the Court Has Asked’
