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.
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 different from a single-voiced audiobook.
