Lights, Camera, ACTION!
Tonight at Daddy's House the MTV cameras showed up for filming of the new Season 5 of Making The Band. This season focuses on making the albums of 3 of the Making The Band artists, Danity Kane, Donnie, and the new Season 4 band now called "Day 26", 5 male R&B singers.
So, most of the footage tonight was shot in Studio B while Diddy was producing Donnie's vocals. I was asked to be in the room for a while just in case i was needed, so i'm basically a fly on the wall, or couch in this case. Then everyone came over to my home away from home, Studio A, just for a little while. Diddy was listening to a new "Day 26" song, as well as talking with the guys about their album. Again, i was more observer than anything else, but at least i was at the console doing some mixing and some pro tools stuff. nothing to write home about, we'll see if i end up on the edit room floor. I really don't care either way, but you know, i'll take any exposure i can get. Thank God i got my first day off yesterday after 19 days STRAIGHT! So, i spent a part of it getting a very much needed hair cut, cause wow my locks were getting a little more than unsightly. Hey, just because i don't care whether there are cameras or not, doesnt mean i wanna look like a bum if the cameras are on, if for no other reason than people wondering why Diddy is hiring derelicts to mix his artists :-)
Anyway, I'll be mixing Donnie's first single next week. Tonight I'm starting a new mix for "Day 26", tomorrow is the Super Bowl. GO GIANTS!!!
