Chapel session 1 Richard Watson
During our session we observed as the artist a singer/song writer and pianist called Richard Watson was recorded and how it was produced.
He came to record four songs in varying genres, some sad, some humorous
There were many different roles that were needed to record this session, the cameraman in charge of getting the best camera shots in this case Dave Wood, the sound engineer in this case Paul Cobbold, who is there to manage the audio, for example setting up microphones.
There were three microphones, one lapel mic attached to the artist and two attached to the piano.
There were also three cameras, one roving camera and two still cameras.
There was also Jack Loisz on the multi track recording the sounds, and Phil Farr on the visual mixer putting together the best video.
The pressure on both the artist and the production team was large based on the fact that there was limited time before it had to be finished, also because of the repeated times the songs had to be gone through the artist got very frustrated and made the occasional mistake due to the fact he was not used to performing in front of an audience even if it's just people watching from a control room.
