Film and Recording Studio

The Ultimate Film and Sound Studio

This is a really new kind of recording studio, combining film and music to highlight your passion for both. I have eliminated the need for a massive sound studio by adding some space saving inventions.

A set of digital instruments for plugging directly into the console several ports will be available on the digital mixing desk. The cables will be wireless to save the clutter.
They can also add effects as if real microphones were being used as you can get a more “natural” sound. It’s a matter of taste really but at least you have the choice.
A sound booth will be able to be created to cut out the noise from the mixing desk to save the need for two separate rooms, you can design the shape and size depending on your needs at the time on the computer and the white shield will come down from the ceiling over the musicians.
Headphone monitors will also be wireless
Effects will be managed from the console desk and can be added wirelessly again by selecting the desired effect and the air inside the sound proof booth will change so that the sound waves can only move in the desired way.

The film area of the studio will have remotely controlled cameras so you can record from any angle without cranes, tripods etc, just a remote control pad. They are also light and small, a tiny ball shape. A microphone will need to be used in order to record the sound and they will beam a signal straight to the camera to record all the sound and picture on the same machine, however once they are uploaded to the computer they will have two separate tracks to allow editing.

Sound and film editing software will be installed into your computer in the studio. This program will have these features:

Sound
· Will record sound from the mixing console and will import sound recorded on the remote control cameras.
· Effects can be added after the recording
· Scores will automatically be written correctly
· Will be able to burn straight to a CD or DVD (if there is film to go with it)
Film
- Will upload film track recorded from the camera
· An Image editor will be included to edit the pictures. Every effect possible will be added.
· Edit section where you can change and mix around with the order, length of shots etc.
· Burn straight to a DVD.

I wanted to design a studio that was practical for you to use but with some new and exciting gadgets. The wireless cabling will make it so much easier to use. I did not feel it was necessary to reinvent the recording system because what we have works really well. The problems with recording technology at the moment is that is takes a lot of room, it’s cumbersome and a lot of setting up is required. I felt it was important to take all the hard work out of it and make it something that is plug in and go.


Study Tools

The idea for developing study tools for students in further / higher education is to play an important part in their development. I had an idea for a small screen (not unlike a tablet) that can:

· Record Audio
· Visual
· Convert audio into text
· Can be connected to computers and record the screen

All these different attributes will be user defined as these are all different ways of learning. There will be an inbuilt test on the machine to determine what kind of learner the student is and this can be used for two modes at once should the user be multimodal. The machine can be used to record lectures in the way that is useful for the students to learn. It is also compact and light to carry around the school with them and upload the days/weeks work into the computer when they get home. This gadget can also be used as a diary the user can speak into the device and record their thoughts and feelings should they want to. There will be a password function on it to keep things private.

I also had an idea for you as a freelance lecturer. The studio could be used as a place that schools/colleges/ universities could schedule visits and you could provide workshops for the students. This will give you a chance to work with all ages and to give the students a look at the cutting edge in recording technology.
