My Clemson University Speech

Clemson University in South Carolina flew me in to give a speech to their performing arts students and faculty about what I do. The following is a 48 minute long video. You will have to turn up and down your volume during the viewing.

We want to say a special thanks to Performing Arts Department Chair David Hartmann, to Professor Hamilton Alstatt, to RØDE Microphones for providing generous door prizes (SmartLav+ lavalier microphones for smartphones) and to Sound Devices for providing their generous swags (sunglasses, carrying bags, and special pens)!

Clemson University, South Carolina

Enjoying the beautiful campus with Professor Hamilton Alstatt.

With just a short visit, I saw that Clemson University is a beautiful campus full of kind and hard working students and faculty. I approve! Go Tigers!!

New game release! Need for Speed 2015

I was hired to field record a Scion FR-S sports car for EA's Need for Speed 2015 video game. Today is the official release available for XBox One, PS4, and PC. I rigged a total of 7 mics OnBoard the modified car and also tracked it with an External M/S stereo shotgun mic.

From IGN.com "Need for Speed also sounds nearly as good as it looks; the throaty burble of performance-tuned engines is well-realised and the crackle of exhaust overrun and the ker-chuck of slamming gears is similarly resectable." - "Great visuals and sound"

Go out, buy the game, and kill some tires!!

New Need for Speed 2015 game, developed by Ghost Games, and published by EA.

Part of Watson Wu's field recording equipment. One Sound Devices 788T-SSD field recorder and two 442 field mixers were used for OnBoard recordings. A 744T field recorder was used for External recordings to capture passbys, burnouts, skids, donuts, etc. 8 mics, Remote Audio headphones for critical monitoring, gaffers tape, blimps, etc gear were all needed to achieve this difficult session.
