Our first recordings.

So. Recording has started. We went to the only functional studio in town, waited for 3 hours while there was a black out, and then decided to come back the next day. Luckily the power was back on by that time, and there followed two days of solid and quality recordings. Episode One out of the way. Or so I naively thought. Since then it has been undergoing post-production, something I have heard about many times, but being largely involved in live performances have never really had to deal with. Something which takes twice as long as the actual recording itself.
So hopefully we will have the finished product of Episode One by the end of this week!

Unfortunately it doesn't look like we will be able to use this studio for the recording of our other five episodes (that's right – FIVE MORE), so we will be exploring the land of recording and editing on our own – scary and exciting (thanks Chris for the tips on equipment). We are just hoping we can keep up the same standard and quality as that of Episode One. We are also starting to feel the pressure now as we only have around five and a half weeks in country! We can do it all in that time! That's one episode for each week, and also wanting to hear the first on broadcast on air before we leave. Trying not to feel that we're living the impossible dream!

Big thanks must also go to Cam who is as usual dealing very well with a crazy-busy Jane, making sure she eats properly etc. He is being a fabulous support! Also thanks to the Wanigili theatre group who are being patient and dealing with whatever is thrown at them. We were so busy we only got a few piccies of them recording, the one below is of the team entertaining themselves while waiting for their scene to come up.
