[@slowgold20]

this studio is mad.

[@ChannelSurfiing]

Best camera work ever. Even better editing.... Lets cut as soon as the camera focuses.

[@MaxxMcGeeImpactStudios]

It's amazing to see that studio, John Powell is one of the best! Thank you for that. Unfortunately it's very shaky, the sound is bad and we couldn't see the setup. So it's just a very enjoyable sneak peak.

[@5amJones69]

Yeah would love to see a few revisited cribs now that the production level has been upgraded!

[@soulfulandnice]

This studio is amazing! I love the instruments in the kitchen. Designed like a true artist. 😃 John Powell's music is one of my favorites and this House turned studio is an inspiration!

[@weschilton]

Hahah, nice shout out to Dreamworks! He's written scores for a ton of our movies and they're great!

[@Deriviado]

sweet to see a dreamworker I a comment section, what dept are you in?

[@oceanic7146]

@@Deriviado Google is your friend.

[@__-gy8fn]

Absolutely incredible! John is an amazing composer and his studio is jaw dropping. Great work.

[@ShaniArshadMusic]

Watching this video for the 9th time and every time I wanna jump into the screen 📺. Thank you Spitfire and John

0:44. "Pornography books." --- John Powell

[@MarshalArnold]

Ha, thought I heard that... wasn't sure since there is no mic on him.. but that's hilarious!

[@TiagoNugentComposer]

r/brandnewsentence

[@Aelipse]

@@ashsen7664 He said "pornography books". It's called humour. The Brits tend to use it from time to time. You'll get used to it.

[@ToeShimmel]

John Powell, one of my favourite composers!!

[@kentkarlsson4169]

Awesome! John has written some of my favorite scores, he's amazing! Thank you for sharing!

[@Cheeks730]

john is the fucking man, he's awesome and hilarious. My favorite composer

[@Jesse-xq7jb]

Was expecting him to make a joke about knocking around in the kitchen for sounds and then there were actually sticks and bells in the cabinets! Haha! Awesome

[@DieMasterMonkey]

10:12 "Holy sh*t it's the boss". ;)

[@TrendOrchestra]

John Powell is without a doubt, my favourite composer! So great to get some insight into his process and studio. I feel inspired.

[@checkmate545]

What an incredibly shy man. Most people of his calibre show the world everything they have in a grandeur way but John seems reluctant as though he'd rather be working 👏👏👏👏

[@johnkrummrich4948]

I have wanted a lot of spaces I have watched on KZbin but this for me is a right in my Zone Thank God for people like you out there for us to Dream

[@realstarready]

My favorite composer too, every single is masterpeace.

[@counterpointify]

"That`s it really".

[@qqq9542]

This is gold.

[@Kolinu2]

Amazing studio. Great series guys.

[@DRUMAdam91]

Oh my god, what a studio!

[@Wickedchickizumi]

Wonderful!

[@vryc]

Hans may be the most recognizable but John is the finest composer to come out of that school of electronica-taiko minimalist musical philosophy, IMO. His "Face Off" soundtrack eclipses almost anything Hans has done as far as complexity and composition/counter-point (and this isn't a slag against Hans, I just had hopes that this new direction of film-music would take it's queue from Powell). What a crib! One can dream.

[@javierpizarro9852]

Not to mention that John is also (besides being great in that electronic minimalist style) an absolute orchestral master! Look no farther than X-Men The Last Stand for proof.

[@hotmode]

Amazing!!!!!

[@Deriviado]

how on earth could you go through with a presentation of a composer of such caliber not using a simple lav on his shirt to actually hear what he says?

[@RonReynolds]

Seriously. Such a great interview to land and they came wholly unprepared. So disappointing.

[@antkn33]

Completely nuts!

[@Deam0007]

Did u guys recorded this with a flip flop ? Honestly John Powell has such a cool warm studio which is great but the video quality is an absolute shame, especially in that channel...

[@analogdragon4709]

This place is insane

[@ChanellCrichlow]

We need a new updated video on his studio

[@erfantabasy7525]

such a john powell

[@alipaulstagram]

Stick a lav mic on them next time pretty please.

[@rocksfor2225]

you got any ears attached to that head of yours bitch.

[@jcp1984again]

I know I do, and my ears that are attached to my head hear more camera handling and footsteps than John Powell's talking in the video. What do you hear?

[@weschilton]

@@rocksfor2225 keepin it classy.

[@alexanderdelacruz9249]

wow!!!!!

[@sourcefor]

Holy cow ..how much land is that on and in LA must cost a fortune!!! Love this Series!

[@potestoniko]

just the outboard gear alone may be worth as much as the land how can someone pay for something like this?

[@RTCLR123]

Crazy

[@m1ke1981]

That machine room... jesus! Is there a Hans crib video? 😧

[@edglue6138]

Wow

[@Tom_North]

Jesus how big is this place?

[@hosoiarchives4858]

I like the windows

[@huwhowells509]

Very nice. Anybody see what the upright piano was?

[@MisterTrayser]

Why is there so much reverb in the room with many absorbers?

[@cipherhunt3063]

2:29 How to train your dragon poster! ❤️

[@psysword]

OMG

[@danielyaniuk]

Крутой тип!

[@ChristianIce]

4:15 really? Sounds like a garage to me :)

[@PawelWalentynski1]

6:27 so is it ok to have such a huge tv in front of you? its totally blocking the centre speaker...btw, what size is this screen? thx

[@hillaryknox]

Well is IS writing to picture. This is (one of) his writing rooms, so maybe he's only monitoring in stereo for writing. Mixing is a different story...

[@alphacondition9308]

Awesome. Thanks for doing these, Spitfire! John's studio looks a bit messy, but i guess it's organized mess. Personally i think i'd be more comfortable in a HGW type studio, but yeah, really cool.

[@emilemerten6535]

which room does john powell mainly write in?

[@DennisCaunce]

That was probably a very interesting interview. Except I couldn't hear a thing...

[@jeffreycomposer]

Does anyone know what speakers stands John uses?

[@Imsefo99]

where is john powell's studio located?

[@Torrington7]

Paseo Miramar

[@smokeybeats]

iv'e watched a few of these & the majority of the big movie scorers are British, i wonder why that is ??

[@user-oo2gz9ln8v]

really wish he’d explain the whole server room thing..

[@charleyraiff]

2 4 junkie xls channel has a video on that “improving your studio”

[@djRoyalTee]

@ 7:55 2 PC's and a mac Toilet Bin...lmao!! That's right..

[@johnkrummrich4948]

96 panes and runs for free I don’t mean this to be combative I love your space but really running that beast of a recording and photo studio on the Sun?

[@Xantiiiii1]

beautiful studio and equipment but FFS hold the God damn camera steady. All the constant fidgeting and twitching is annoying

[@pocouturier]

where the hell do they get their money

[@LuisVallenotti]

Lmao it's john powell, he's not going to charge you for a soundtrack 3000$

[@LuisVallenotti]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Powell_(film_composer)

[@3star2nr]

Film scoring...

[@user-oo2gz9ln8v]

3star2nr but he had to start somewhere you can’t make film money with shitty krks

[@BIGpony777]

is his studio not properly treated? like yeah he has a bunch of defusers but he has HUGE open spaces and a WALL OF GLASS doors right behind him

[@SeraphymMusic]

Hey cameraman! Show more of the EQUIPMENT! Not the person giving the tour! Geesh!

[@talentzone8257]

You really need this much to make a song? 😲😮😀

[@oceanix1929]

Haha yeah right!

[@mozdedo]

Really, not really!

[@JohnPaulPattonPhoto]

Couldn't make a worse video if you tried. And, John Powell deserves better than that for the time that he dedicated to you.

[@rocksfor2225]

he seems like a bit of a thwart or twat if you will

[@cargeek6139]

Horrible audio. Well done!
