Here in all of its glorious 11 minutes and 46 seconds is Luke White’s short ‘Tide’

A beautiful short made at LCC last year. Here’s a short description taken from Luke’s website blackpaint.co.uk

“A boy and his father live a harsh existence against a desolate backdrop. Whilst the father is stranded, the boy’s physique allows him to pass through a small tunnel leading to a place very different from their own. He brings back footage to satisfy his fathers desire to re-live memories of when he too could make this journey. Tide is the story of a father’s obsession that will ultimately lose him the respect of his son, and in turn his companionship.”

I (Chris Box) was lucky enough to be involved, creating the sound design for this, recording foley, ADR and mixing it at Borough Studios here in London.  Since completion it has gone on to be screened at both the BFI and London Shorts Festival (and many more).

Hope I’ve included everyone in this list.

Personal projects have had to get comfy for a while in the back seat while all of us down at Borough Studios become overwhelmed with the amount of work that renovating a studio has thrown at us.

After gluing acoustic treatment for several rehearsal rooms, the time has come for me to move downstairs and begin the recording and post production facilities.

I have so far been helping the studio owner Carlos by treating the recording studio (which is now looking quite nice) and rigging up Pro Tools facilities.

Here are a few pics shoved into my Iphone’s incredibly small camera.

Ok so it may be a slow afternoon at the studio but I did manage to make some use of the downtime I suppose.  Here’s a little treat I’m sure I’ll play out at gigs

The times they are a changing at Borough Studios, from a humble recording and production facility to a bustling recording and rehearsal facility and vibrant post production facility.

We’re in the middle of building many of the facilities here at Borough Studios and my fingers are quickly getting covered in the dust of plaster boards glue, foam, cabling and any other materials.

Anyway as I am in charge of developing the promotional and branding of the Borough Studios I thought I should share some of the progress with you.

Here are some flyers which contains the blueprint for Borough Studios new branding.  These in particular are designed by the one and only David Sidhom
