Announcing Podango Productions - PodcastingTricks.com
I want to give my PodcastingTricks readers a heads up. I have been asked to serve as president of Podango Productions and we’re opening up a new studio in San Francisco next week.
Located in the heart of San Francisco’s Dogpatch district just South of Market Street, Podango Production’s Studios are state-of-the-art, utterly professional and are decked out with the best high-definition video and broadcast-quality audio equipment available today.
Our production facilities and equipment include:
• A full-time radio-style recording studio packed full with the same high-tech audio equipment you’ll find at major radio stations across the country.
• Two full-time audio editing bays.
• A dedicated, sound-proof voice-over studio.
• Two sound stages, including a cavernous 50-foot-square main video production stage with an 18-foot-high-lighting grid that spans across the entire room.
• A 20’ X 20’ X 16’ seamless cyclorama green screen lit by Image 40 Kino Flo lights and specially-constructed with non-metallic parts so it can be used to create Star-Wars Quality Motion Capture footage.
• A Four-K, 1080P digital video camera.
• Multiple Two-K 1080P video cameras.
• An in-house render farm.
• Top-notch 3D and motion graphics software.
• Fully equipped, movie-studio-level post-production facilities.
• An extensive collection of best-in-breed lighting and grip equipment.
• Three loading docks each equipped with full-size industrial freight elevators.
And much more.
Now here’s the really good news. We’ll be opening up part of our production facility to all podcasters every Friday as part of our Free Friday program. Use of our audio production suite will be free of charge. Access will be by appointment only and on a first-come, first-served basis.
We’ll have more details later. BSW and Aphex have helped us to put together a great facility and we can’t wait to show it off.
As I write this post, the carpet layers are laying carpet. The first shipment of gear has arrived from BSW and we’ll be busy all week putting stuff together. I’ll have an update next week.
