Frank Serafine
Frank Serafine continues to break new
ground in his ability to find unique
locations to utilize the Holophone H2-
PRO to capture discreet surround
sound for the sound effects for major
film releases from Hollywood, CA. Here
he is using two new Sony two-track
portable digital recorders in Nevada's
Grand Canyon.
Beijing TV, China
The H2-PRO was used by Beijing TV to capture the natural
surround sound ambience of the program Community
Music Tonight. The Holophone was hung from a lighting
truss about 33 feet (10 meters) back from the stage in the
center position, 20 feet (7 meters) above the audience. The
"nose" (center channel) of the Holophone was angled
slightly down and towards the stage, to give the audience
the 3-D audio perspective of flying over the events while
facing the stage. The Holophone tracks were sent out via
an audio snake cable backstage to the mixer, panned
discreetly to the corresponding surround channel, and then
used as the base ambience for the remainder of the mix .
The H2-PRO derived audio was then combined with the
other incoming stage mics for the main surround 5.1 feed.
The audio system was designed by Jolly ProAudio
Broadcast Engineering Ltd. (Holophone partner in China)
Extreme Makeover
Two Holophone H2 Pro Microphones were involved in the
Production of Extreme Makeover Home Edition. The show
focused on the reconstruction of the home of a family who
were both hearing and sight impaired. The Holophone was
used to capture and portray the physical feeling and three-
dimensional reality of the magnitude of this project, which
involved hundreds of people over just a few days.
