Aloha and Mahalo!
When the going gets tough, the tough...leave town? Okay, maybe I'm not so tough, but I am leaving town for a couple of weeks to get some much-needed R&R on the beautiful island of Kauai. That means I will be far away from my trusty computer and my business phone, so if you have any news to impart or issues to discuss, it will have to wait until I return to the office on July 11. In the meantime, though, you can, as always, stuff my in-box by writing to blair@blairjackson.com or leave me a phone message at (510) 465-0494.

Inside Info

A Production Music Library Market Check: Orlando
One of the fastest growing commercial and entertainment centers in the country, Orlando, Fla., has also become something of media mecca, and, as such, it has become home to a number of large and small recording studios and audio and video production companies that cater to both regional and national clients. Miami is still the much larger market in every respect, but Orlando has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years and has sustained healthy growth for much of the past decade.

"The market here is not as hot as it was in the '90s, when there was a real boom, not just here but nationwide," comments Laurence Vexler of the successful recording complex that encompasses LHV Audio Services and Raintree Studios. "There's a lot of corporate work to tap into here. There's also a fair amount of music, too, but you don't get into that for the money; you do that for the love of it. My bread and butter has been corporate and advertising, where I have a lot of good, long-standing clients. Getting new clients in the door is the challenge; once they're here, we have a lot of success bringing them back." To read the rest of this article, click here.

Equipping Location Sound Effects Titans
Richard King, who won an Oscar two year ago for his sound work on Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World, says that location sound effects recordists John Fasal and Eric Potter are "absolutely the best at what they do. They're both really technically savvy and informed and also creative and clever about getting the sounds that are described to them. Both together and independently, they can always figure out how to accomplish it."

The duo's credit list—collectively and separately—includes such films as Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, Signs, Training Day, Unbreakable, The Jackal, Independence Day, The Hunt for Red October, Top Gun, The Fugitive, Crimson Tide, The Fifth Element, The Thin Red Line, Pearl Harbor, all three Matrix films, Men In Black, Speed, Twister, Ronin, The Green Mile, Ocean's Eleven, The Time Machine, Spider-Man, and The Manchurian Candidate.
