The Chop Shop crew arms themselves for battle against the zombies! This week, they head out to the middle of nowhere to record guns. Later in the week, the interns and Ric model in a photo shoot for the cover art for the Zombie Apocalypse Sound Effects Library painted by Matt Busch (The Rock Star of Illustration).
The new interns learn the project that they’re working on for the summer – The Zombie Apocalypse Sound Effects Library for Blastwave FX! The crew gets used to the gear and take a trip to meet world renown Star Wars artist Matt Busch (The Rock Star of Illustration).
“This is a cannon… not a huge cannon but a decent sized fairly portable cannon that makes quite a bang. When you pack it with synthetic black powder, ram a chunk of solid steel down the barrel, light the fuse, run for cover, block your ears and wait… it makes a noise, a loud noise. This is the first of many sessions planned with this cannon over the next few weeks and I plan on recording it in many locations. Next location is high up on a cliff overlooking the river where there is not much but solid rock around. I named it the “Cannon on Call” as I can record it pretty much anytime I would like with just a little advance notice and planning.”
