Hit and Run History's new saga...WGBH premiere!

Well, with all the hard work put in over the last couple years of trying to bring the story of the Columbia ship to the world, we have finally landed a stepping stone.

In a collaboration with WGBH of Boston, Hit and Run History brings you the first in a 10 part exclusive web-only series on the backers and key persons that made the voyage possible. HRH uses short 5-8 minute vinettes to tell a story of how the people that backed the voyage came together, which includes people such Charles Bulfinch and Thomas Jefferson! See the places they came from and hear about the travels they made. Learn about the history of this ground breaking voyage that many do not know...after all, that is what history is about.

What is my role in all of this? Well in guerilla style audio, there is ALWAYS cleaning and editing to be done...here is no different! Being on set is not always possible and having the best gear and people to run it can be tough to come by. So when it's bad, I must use my tools to keep the dialogue legible as well as dynamic with each scene. Of course if it is too clean one must add back in ambience so as to not distract the viewer.

In this premier episode, I was actually behind the camera for a lot of it! Do take note that how this reality style of run and gun filming keeps viewers attention, waiting for the next thing. This is more akin to Anthony Bourdain 'No Reservations' style, which definitely works or it wouldn't be on.

So, check out what Hit and Run History has to offer and let them know what you think!
