We wish you a Merry…

Last night was the last Crash Squad recording session of 2009.  In true MADHouse Studios style, I had several technical difficulties.  The laptop I use for recording broke.  The USB ports are fried…which means the mixer board won’t work.  I had to start using the new LAPTOP for recording last night.  Problem number 1…the audio [...]

Whose idea was this anyway!?

OK, so over three years ago the idea for Crash Squad was born.  After some concept refinement and development, the idea for the series came about.  It took well over a year to develop into the series it has become today.  Another year of voice recording and character/visual development brings us to today.  The thing [...]

Luke…

Happy Birthday!
Today is our fearless leader’s birthday.
Last night was our last recording session for the next couple of months.
The question has been raised; is Luke getting too old to keep up the pace? Is he really going to be out of town on Army business, or does the old man just need some time to [...]

Technology…it’s never gonna catch on.

No kidding, there I was…getting ready to wrap up after a good session in the studio when I felt the urge to…well…DIE.
 We had started a bit late, but once everyone got there and we got rolling along we were rather productive.  It was a good night over all…
We were excited, since it was the first [...]

That’s easy for you to say!

I believe that the people I work with are some of the most talented people I have ever been lucky enough to come across in my life. They are dedicated to this art form and strive for perfection in all they do. Each and every take in the studio is like watching a Michelangelo sculpt [...]

Drake’s Back!

There it is…that’s Drake’s back.  (A still shot from the new, upcoming trailer!)
OK, seriously…we are all back.  The hiatus is over, and we are very excited to get back into the studio.  Final revisions are being made to the last few scripts for the season.  Also of note is the addition of a couple more [...]

Take Five…

OK, so this is a bit late…but I feel like I should post it up so that no one thinks we have just fallen off the face of the earth.
With the holidays and what not upon us…MADHouse Studios and the Crash Squad team are taking a break until at least the first of the year.  [...]

Studio Snapshots

Here’s some shots from our last recording session.
Luke and Bobby; writers, directors and comics extraordinair. They may look like they are all business, but their banter is mostly BS that only they understand.
Kurt with a lack of lines and two stray pieces of electrical tape.
It was nice to have another girl in the studio this [...]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congrats are in order to some of our very own team members.  First a quick background:
Michael participates in the 24 Hour Film Project every year. It is this great event where film makers come together with their crews and have 24 hours to make a short film…from start to finish. According to the project website:
In each city, teams receive [...]

Progress Update

Last night, we were in the studio once again. After a bit of a break we all seemed pretty excited to be back to the task of giving life to the characters. We originally had two sessions scheduled for this month…but due to another schedule conflict…last night was our only one.
We were introduced to a [...]
