在上周的第五届年会上，我们疯狂地跑来跑去 名人堂 庆祝活动, 赶上毕业生和新人, 采访行业嘉宾, 参加尽可能多的座谈, 并向学生们分发全帆名人堂装备. When everything was said and done we ended up with a lot of insightful (and random) notes, covering everything from career advice to what our grads are working on next. 下面是一些我们最喜欢的#FullSailHOF趣事.

• Record labels are reinventing their roles in the music business. 随着行业不断适应后数字时代, 一些公司正在推出自己的精品品牌. Hard Rock Records' Director of 音乐 and Marketing James Buell spoke about a business model whose goal isn't to score platinum plaques, but to develop new artists under a one-year contract that preps them for bigger labels while also strengthening Hard Rock's brand.
• The first batch of Playstation 4 and Xbox One games only scratch the surface. 在“最伟大的主机时代”?” panel 2012 名人堂 inductee Chance Glasco commented on the latest home consoles, explaining the initial launch lineup only hints at the great things on the horizon, explaining “The early games that come out are sort of generation 1.5, because we haven’t been able to tune our engines properly. In another year you’re going to see some really amazing games.”
• 2013 名人堂 Inductee Kim Alpert used to be a carpenter. Kim told students in her "Ask Me Anything" session that it was after her sister showed her how to use Illustrator that she decided to come to 满帆 to study Digital 媒体. Over a decade later, she's the Founder/Creative Director at Make Amazing.
• 你的B计划应该是a计划的变体. That piece of advice was just one of dozens dished out by 2010 名人堂 Inductees Leslie Brathwaite and Troy DeVolld during their "So You've Succeeded: Now What?”面板. We also found out the two friends are currently working on a book together.
• R.L. 斯坦的《菠菜台子大全》系列正在被改编成电影. We ran into 电影 grad and 2010 名人堂 inductee Steve Cainas, 目前正在制作《R.L. 斯坦的经典 起鸡皮疙瘩的 书系列. The movie starts shooting this April in Atlanta, with Steve acting as production coordinator. Jack Black is set to star under the direction of Rob Letterman (《格列佛游记》、《菠菜台子大全》).
• Mixing engineers have an arsenal of creative tools they can draw upon in their sessions, meaning that they're doing more than just adjusting volume levels. Many guests shed light on their process inside the studio, including 2005 录音艺术 毕业/制作人/混音/工程师乔丹“DJ旋转”杨. Swivel walked through a live mixing session of Beyonce's "I Care," demonstrating how sending her backup vocals through an Amplitube guitar amp plug-in created the illusion of a smoking guitar solo that perfectly doubled her melodic runs.
• You could be on "Real Rob," Rob Schneider's new television show. 在与学生的谈话中, the actor and director shared that "Real Rob" will be casting locally in Orlando. He also mentioned that students interested in working behind the scenes may have the chance to do so as well. "Real Rob" will filming its eight episodes on 满帆's soundstages beginning next month.
• The man who designed 满帆’s Studio A also designed Jimi Hendrix’s Electric Lady Studios. In Robert Margouleff’s discussion about his pioneering synthesizer collaborations with Stevie Wonder in the ‘70s, he mentioned that the sessions began in New York at Electric Lady. The studio was the first to designed by legendary architect and acoustician John Storyk, 他也, Margouleff说, 在满帆设计了第一个工作室. Storyk, 当然, has gone on to head up the design and construction of many more studios (he's a founding partner of Walters-Storyk 设计 Group), 包括Bearsville, and private studios for the likes of Jay Z and Bruce Springsteen, 所以很高兴听到他和满帆的联系.
• 电视真人秀编剧被称为“故事制作人”. "Technically, a "reality" TV show isn't supposed to have writers, even though they do. 2010 名人堂 Inductee Troy DeVolld laid out the hierarchy of a reality television production staff during "The Specialized World of TV Writing Panel,而其他嘉宾则在谈论为情景喜剧写剧本, 戏剧, 纪录片, 和动画片节目.
• You don’t say “They’re in the bathroom” when a production tech asks “Where’s the talent?” We thought we were giving a straightforward answer to a straightforward question, 但我们最后知道你说“他们化妆了”,因为没人想在浴室里想象天才, 显然.
