When Beck shared the news that his latest album,

Song Reader, would be released only as sheet music,

the music industry got creative. The only way to hear

Becks new material was to take the sheet music, readit (or nd someone who knows how to read it), and

learn how to perorm your own interpretation o

the song.

So we gathered a mix o nine well-known local

Orlando bands plus two student bands and had

them each perorm their own dierent rendition o

one o the songs. And when we say dierent, we

mean dierent: there was a vocal percussionist, a

bluegrass group, a cellist, and more. The complete

collection was all shot here in Full Sails fagship

recording studio, the Audio Temple.

I respect Beck so much as an artist that there was

this overwhelming eeling that we didnt want to let

him down, says Andy Brooks, the singer o Transmit

Now, one o the local bands involved in the project.

But in the end we came to realize that there were no

preconceptions when it came to Song Reader; there

was no right or wrong interpretation. There was only

your own and thats exactly what Beck wanted.

Over the course o three days during the week o

December 18, the bands took over the Audio Temple

to record their versions. All o the live recording

sessions were shot by our YouTube team along

with aculty and students rom the Film program.

Recording Arts Course Director Darren Schneider

engineered the entire project.

Two ree and open-to-the-public concerts added to the

excitement o this years Hall o Fame Week experience.

Hundreds o students, Hall o Fame VIPs, and local music

ans illed the Full Sail Live venue on a rainy Valentines

Day night or a show by Louisiana singer-songwriter Marc

Broussard. The crowd enjoyed a lively perormance o his

unique sound that has been called Bayou soul. Two days

later, music lovers gathered once again to listen to Nashville-

based singer-songwriter Mat Kearney as he closed out the

Hall o Fame estivities. His radio-riendly rock with a twist o

reggae and hip-hop captured the audiences attention as he

played songs rom his three ull-length studio albums.

Following two successul Iron Manlms and a

supporting role in 2012s The Avengers, Iron Man 3

revisits a battle-hardened Tony Stark, crated under

the sharp guidance o writer/director Shane Black.

The lms crew included 22 alumni; among this

group were requent collaborators Chrys Blackstone

(electrician) and Je Wallace (set lighting technician)

who worked together on the lms lighting team. We

caught up with them beore Iron Man 3s premiere

to learn about the production o this summers rst

major release.

The sheer magnitude o the production was

something to behold: Chrys described a massive

studio setup that included 10 stages ... and they

took up almost all o them with these giant

set pieces.

Je was particularly in awe o working alongside

the director o photography, Academy Award winner

John Toll, saying that Toll was just an amazing guy

to work with; its something I never thought Id be

doing ten years ago when I graduated.

Working on the StarCraftteam at Blizzard

Entertainment, Chip enjoys the challenges that

have come rom working with the uturistic

military assets the series is known or. Hes

also contributing to one o the companys

other major upcoming releases, Blizzard All-

Stars, which brings together characters rom

their most popular ranchises to battle it out in

dierent real-time strategy scenarios.

Braveis Pixars rst stab at a traditional airy tale,

telling the story o a headstrong princess in the ctional

kingdom o DunBroch, Scotland. Its a visually complex

and immersive world, and animators took our years

developing its look. Helping to guide the environment

team was Digital Media graduate and Full Sail Hall o Fame

inductee Kristir Klein. The world itsel is actually kind o

character-like, he says. Its very lush and complex with

the way that things are growing up against each other,

everything just seems to be alive.

Bianca, who has a bachelors in art education,

decided to pursue a masters degree at Full Sail

in Education Media Design & Technology in

2008, and today she works as an instructional

designer or BMO Financial in Toronto. Her social

media presence, including her eGeekingblog and

Full Sail recently welcomed Kenny Carkeet,

keyboard/guitar player or Red Bull Records band

AWOLNATION, to campus to speak about his

career in the music industry. A graduate o the

Entertainment Business

and Recording Arts degree

programs, Kenny talked

about his career path aterschool, lie on the road,

his creative process,

and more.

His journey has been

interesting to say the

least. He ventured out to

Los Angeles to ollow his

dream in music, leaving

a successul career at an Orlando law rm. I just

sold everything I had and drove out there. I didnt

have a job set up, but I knew I wanted to work with

artists, and thought it was worth a shot.

Kenny began picking up audio work, creating music

or video games at Activision,

doing postproduction or an

action sports lm company,

and more. During this time hemet music producer Jimmy

Messer, and was hired as

an assistant at his recording

studio. Kenny would spend

the next two years there,

and its there where he met

AWOLNATION singer Aaron

Bruno. Its all a ar cry rom

his days in a suit and tie, and

he never stops appreciating the hard work and

good ortune that helped him get there.

Lindsey, who was valedictorian o

her class when she graduated rom the

Education Media Design & Technology

masters program, now works as the

curriculum specialist or technology integration orWest Hartord Public Schools. As her title suggests, she

helps with incorporating technology into the districts

classrooms and working with teachers and principals

to develop tech-riendly lesson and unit plans.

Lydia is a coordinator or

international marketing services and

digital marketing at Sony Music, the

second largest music label in the world.

Ater graduation, she moved to New York City

and sent out resumes to her top companies, and

today, she works in Sonys International Marketing

department. Her responsibilities include everything

rom determining international markets or artists, to

maintaining international artist websites.

As a longtime gamer, Recording Arts alum Mike

Niederquell made the easy decision o pursuing this

specialized eld o game audio ater graduation. Hes

since built a successul career on the audio team at

Sony Computer Entertainment

America. Mike was hired as

a sound designer at Sonys

Santa Monica studio in July

2011, working alongside game

developers to help with audio

content creation, implementation,

scheduling, tool development,

and asset management all

while striving to create the best

possible soundtrack.

Recording Arts

graduate and 2011

Hall o Fame inductee

David Farmer worked on

Peter Jacksons most recent project,

The Hobbit. David was responsible

or creating the audio eects youllhear throughout the lm, including

the cues or many o its strange and

wonderul creatures.

By day, Matthew DAmato (Film, Digital Arts

& Design) works at New York production

company NYPS, helping to produce content or top

ashion and luxury liestyle brands. And at night and

on the weekends, his ocus is Valiant Pictures, a lm

and video company he co-ounded. While I was at

school I was always working hard, staying up late,

doing multiple projects, networking with people,

he says. That denitely

helped me when I came

up here to New York,

and Ive just been

going nonstop.

Jason Lyons is a 2007 graduate o Full

Sails Game Development program,

and worked on Halo 4as a gameplay

programmer at Certain Anity, an independent game

studio in Austin. Jasons position had him providing

support to the designers to get their content

unctioning properly in the game. This involved in-

depth work like creating new pieces o tech, altering

extended unctionality to existing tech, and nally

debugging the code to make sure all o the eatures

were implemented seamlessly.

Matt has always been interested in world issues and politics, a passion he thinks helped him get into the

editorial side o news. I worked as an assignment editor or a local NBC/CBS aliate in Pennsylvania or a

little over our years beore coming to CNN. Now he is in the epicenter o inormation, and hes in heaven.

I love bringing inormation to people. I also love the act that I learn new things every day. Matt was

recognized or his contribution to 2011 Arab Spring coverage, which garnered CNN a Peabody Award. I

think at the end o the day when youre tired, stressed and ready or bed, you can still look back and smile

about it and cant wait or the challenge the next day will bring. This happens to me every day at CNN.

Last summer, the Acoustic Basement presented by Full Sail University

was a part o the Vans Warped Tour or the irst time. The intimate,

tented stage quickly became a popular spot or ans to get out o the sun

and enjoy an acoustic set rom some o their avorite artists.

This years Acoustic Basement gets a larger tent, a higher stage, and an

improved sound system. Also, instead o just sending one grad out on

tour, were sending three: one to help with production on the Acoustic

Basement stage, one as a content reporter, and one to assist in the

production oice throughout the tour.

Artists scheduled to appear on the stage

this summer include Craig Owens (Chiodos),

Ace Enders (The Early November), and many

more. And just like last year, spontaneous

sets rom other Warped Tour artists can

happen at any time.

In the three years since ESPN and Full Sail teamed up to

unveil the Full Sail Sports Lab Powered by ESPN, there have

been a number o dierent opportunities or our students to

get involved with various ESPN initiatives. From the ilming

o the opening sequences or College GameDay, the NBA

Finals, and the MLS Cup Playos to the shooting o Bill

Parcells Draft Confidentialspecial and the recent expansion

o the Sports Lab, its something o an understatement to

say that the last three years have been productive.

To recap some o the highlights rom the work that ESPN

and Full Sail have done together, we created a video that

helps to tell the story o our relationship.

Full Sail University and sports entertainment company WWEs ailiation has brought

tapings o the WWEsNXT

series to the Full Sail Live Venue presenting opportunitiesor Full Sail students to get experience behind the scenes as they shadow the WWEs

production crew. Students rom entertainment-oriented degree programs can assist

with a variety o tasks rom running cameras, to assisting with ring setup and tear-

down and are recommended or the opportunity by Course Directors and other

aculty members.

Proceeds rom ticket sales go toward a scholarship fund or Full Sail students

that was established by the WWE. The irst recipient, Geraldo Gutierrez, was awarded

$10,000 toward his studies in the Recording Arts bachelors program. WWE selected

Geraldo or exhibiting exceptional proessionalism and creative talent, as well as

Jasons role at American Le Mans
