FinalRune Productions is an independent audio drama production company based in Alfred, Maine. Their award-winning productions were featured in the Wall Street Journal on February 25, 2010.[1]
Production Style
FinalRune Productions uses field recording techniques for recording radio drama, a technique taught to director Fred Greenhalgh by his mentor, Roger Gregg (of Crazy Dog Audio Theatre).
On location recording is more like film recording than traditional, studio-based radio drama. Actors, director, and sound recordist go to an acoustical environment similar to that referenced in the play, and record in stereo to a compact flash recording device.
The result is a drama that has natural sound that is laborious and difficult to re-create in post-production. This process also greatly speeds up post-production.
Company history
FinalRune Productions began in 2006 with the production of the story Day of the Dead, by Fred Greenhalgh. Since then, FinalRune has released over a dozen other titles, mostly original work.[2]
In 2010, FinalRune released the pilot of an audio serialization of the novel Open Season by Archer Mayor. This pilot was produced on location and is an example of how dramatized treatments of novels differ from a single-voiced audiobook.[1]
