National Lampoon Features Mixed for DVD Command
Post has completed two soundtrack packages of the National Lampoon features
“Pucked” and “Van Wilder 2". Tapestry Films’ Editor Sherwood Jones
was the point man on both pictures. In some cases, 5.1 elements were folded down
to create Dolby Stereo printmasters. Many
elements were involved ~ 5.1 M&E’s, 5.1 stems, LT RT stems, TV versions,
foreign versions, censored Jon Bon Jovi stars in the 90 minute comedy “Pucked”, as the debt-laden promoter of a women’s hockey franchise. Demands of Casino Gaming Call Upon New Cartoon FX Libraries Chatsworth-based Diamond Game Enterprises has brought Command Post on board to produce sound design and music for it’s newest games, now being installed in Indian Casinos across the country. “From sproings and doinks to harmonicas and violins, our new cartoon
sfx database is proving popular and useful not just in game design but in
trailers as well”, remarks editor John C. “It’s an expansion we’d
planned for quite some time.” Command Post has also recently inaugurated the Series 7000
ambience library, which includes an extraordinary number of city and country
ambiences from six continents around the world. Also installed in 2006 is the
“Art of Foley” 10 CD fx library. "Art
of Foley" proved to be a crucial asset for "Erased", which needed detailed
live action sounds with lots of running, jumping, and fighting.

ambitious 90 minute HD action thriller from Ascentia Films in Calabasas,
Erased’s first preview screening is scheduled this month Rising Star
Gildon Gets Full Pac 10 Scholarship Simi
Valley is being swamped with talent scouts from the Pac 10, searching for
tomorrow's headliner football talent. For a small high school, “Thanks to the DVD we’ve been inundated with full scholarship offers, even USC -- which unfortunately we had to turn down,” remarked Anthony’s Dad, Constantine. Anthony is making the move to the Oregon Ducks this fall. Teammate Chris Owusu’s new Command Post DVD has already garnered ten scholarship offers from major universities, including Harvard and Stanford. CP Creates Mixes
for Allscripts “Newsmaker” Programs Chicago-based medical software company Allscripts, and it’s CEO Glen Tollman, are utilizing Command Post for sound mix packages of their monthly interview program “Newsmaker”. “Since the audio is recorded everywhere from Chicago to New
York to New Orleans, and not always with the best equipment, it can be a
challenge to make it sound better” remarks editor John. To maximize quality,
teleconferencing is simultaneously recorded on different audio recorders in
different cities, then synchronized and edited later. The March show
featured Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen, who shared insights into the future
of improved patient care through better information technology. Bu This month’s special Newsmaker guest: Intel Chairman Craig Barrett. Control Room Remodel Emphasizes Comfort and Acoustic Design While
there was very little down time involved, the entire month of February was
devoted to a control room remodel at Command Post. While phase one is now
complete, phase two, due later this year, will involve the relocation of some
electronics, especially outboard gear. “Cutting
down on clutter is our most important priority. Our focus in the remodel has
been more on aesthetics and comfort than on any new electronics”, remarked
technical director John C Graves. Among the few electronic mods, however, the mix room now has four
surround monitors instead of just two, an arrangement more consistent with
theater acoustic design. Command Post is also making the switch to quad LCD
computer monitors, which opens up tons of screen real estate and desk space. Favorite comfort zone of producers, the control room couch, has also been enlarged as part of the shoji-inspired design. And a kneeling buddha sculpture now graces the studio entrance in recognition of Command Post’s prime function -- that of serving it’s customers.

filmmaker John Campbell, who engaged Command Post to design a soundtrack for
his visual opus, “Li -- Patterns of N “I love the soundtrack”, remarked Campbell. “...I’m just thrilled to death...I think you did a great job.” Command Post’s in house score and sound design was produced primarily on the new Motif ES8, a core musical component in the richly textural, wall-to-wall score. “Li” is John Campbell’s second film soundtrack with Command Post.
