Planet Coaster, by the English developer/publisher Frontier Developments is an exciting new game I worked on. It is to be released later this year. If you missed the live stream, here is the LINK to view it (featuring Art Director John Laws conducting a Q&A session at 7pm GMT on March 2nd).
Wanted to share a short writing about my trip for this week. I've been hired to field record sounds of certain vehicles for a video game project. Today I'm flying to Louisville, Kentucky, then driving a rental car to south Indiana. Because of NDA, I can't say what I'm up up until the game company makes an announcement about their exciting title.
In this picture are a Rycote Windshield Kit #4, a large Swiss backpack, a PortaBrace audio bag, and a monster size Pelican 1650 case.
The purpose of this setup is to divide up my equipment. All items outside of the Pelican 1650 case are my primary gear. They are a Sound Devices 744T/MixPre-D inside the PortaBrace bag, my numerous mics, batteries, primary chargers, a camera, gaffers tape, etc all inside the large Swiss backpack.
Inside the Pelican 1650 case, there is a backup 4 track recorder, more batteries, mic stands, cables, zip ties, gaffers tape, clothes, etc items.
I HIGHLY recommend dividing up your precious gear similar to this. Remember to Always have a backup just in case something happens to your primary gear! This applies to other industries such as photography, videography, IT, etc. Stay safe and please share your stories. :-)

Field recording full scale cannons for Assassin's Creed (Ubisoft's flagship video game). InstaSnake boxes (right of Evian water bottle) allows me to easily use light and thin CAT5e data cables to connect all microphones to the field mixers and recorders.
