When it comes to big budget movies that combine pyrotechnics, car chases, scattering crowds or any combination there of, both the Special Effects Department and Stunt Department need to combine forces to make it all work on camera, while keepin
A word from your host Rob Albrecht giving you an update on the On Air Off Set podcast.

In part 2 of this three-part episode I chat with cinematographer and part-time teacher/instructor Jeffrey Hagerman.
There’s a lot of mixed feelings about “film school” these days. In this three-part episode I chat with three separate guests about the state of film education and training as well as the industry as a whole. First up in part 1 is Randall Dottin
We all can use therapy these days and if you're a creative/artist, perhaps you can use a professional who understands and even has some experience your field. I chat with two NYC-based therapists to mine the depths of this type of specializatio
We continue our conversation with my guests Brian De la Cruz and Derek Stalley in part two of our sprawling conversation about people of color in Hollywood, on and off set.
If 2020 didn’t deliver us enough drama with the pandemic and lockdown, along came nationwide protests against police brutality and racism. With this as the backdrop, I recorded an interview back in June over Zoom with fellow freelancers Derek S
There has always existed the independent factions of any artistic mediums whether it be cinema, music, or fine arts. But does theater has have it’s own established independent scene? Theater guys like Michael Pagano and his mentor and former hi
Hi this is Rob Albrecht, host of the On Air off Set podcast here to present to you a special personal episode, that has nothing to do with entertainment industry. This one is going be a limited release, just in time for Veteran’s Day. It’s my v
Continuing from episode 27, I chat with composer Patrick Kirst. To showcase the collaboration with director on any given film project, we engage in a little creative musical workshop.
Film scores are there to enhance a scene at times, and at other times to go above and “beyond the two dimensions of the screen” as composer Patrick Kirst explains, perhaps to convey something the scene cannot. From the classical symphonic heigh
For sound mixers/recordists it’s always been a balance of capturing the best location sound possible while dealing with airplanes, police sirens, construction, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, barking dogs, refrigerators, air conditioners, phones ring
The set of horror movie can be exactly that.....a horror show and not in a good way. But don't tell that to filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp and efx makeup artist Tony O'Brien. They love their jobs and they bring that passion and joy to a film set. F
We were not prepared nationwide for this pandemic and the subsequent shutdown. Loss of income, quarantine, the threat of an unknown virus among countless other issues can impact everyone negatively. So what can one do as a creative/artist who
In this every changing world it is getting more and more complicated trying to discern authentic journalism from click bait and “fake news.” It is important that we recognize those in the media that have integrity and strive to deliver the most
Alot has changed since those early childhood days for many of us. Only with last 10-15 years of superhero movies do they finally have a definitive place in cinema history……though not without controversy. In the aftermath of Martin Scorcese’s op
WARNING: Spoilers left and right! As far as the comic book world, you might be an outsider looking in like myself. In fact, I had alot of catching up to do for this episode when it comes to all the superhero movies and tv shows that have come o
In the beginning there’s an idea. Several weeks, sometimes months, sometimes years later after so many rewrites and revisions do we finally have a screenplay. It could be a masterpiece or it could still be a dud. Many of us have the vision, but
For those of us who grew up in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, New York City has changed so much, and the film/tv industry along with it. Filming here has gotten more accessible in certain ways but more complex in others. Leave it to locations team Ch
What is it about being an "artist" or "creative" that never dies within many of us? Is it a compulsion? What does success look like and what is it about merging commerce with making our "art" that is so challenging? I sit down with two longtime
The Tarantinos, the Spike Lees and the Wes Andersons of the world get all the credit. They are after all, the creative force behind their respective films. Yet with all that they have on their plate how is it possible for one person to direct a
Stunt performers are there to take all risks and absorb all the hits to make an action scene come to life in a film or tv show. They make it all seem easy…..until something goes wrong and in this world of stunts there’s always that danger. One
Films and tv shows have become more and more action oriented as time goes on. There is a demand for more eye-popping thrills but with a healthy dose of scrutiny as to the authenticity of a fight scene or a car chase or a fall from a building. A
