We were lucky to catch up with Tracie Drennon recently and have shared our conversation below.
Tracie, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. To kick things off, we’d love to hear about things you or your brand do that diverge from the industry standard
Studios at Fischer is a unique facility, not only in this area, but in the country. Our 10-acre campus consists of a spacious production studio, a state-of-the-art recording studio, cutting edge audio and visual equipment, green room, luxurious living and dining spaces, and other amenities. The strength of our various offerings is that they can be utilized a la carte or seamlessly integrated by clients according to their needs.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
My husband, Patrick, and I initially purchased the property on which The Studios at Fischer was built to create a studio wherein Patrick could pursue his love for photography and video production. As we worked to bring the studio to life, my passion for design and creating spaces for people to enjoy as they worked flourished. Pat’s technical expertise and rich knowledge of photography and film combined with my enthusiasm for shaping the style of our first facility paved the way for what is now known as The Studios at Fischer. Our daughter, Kelleigh Flynn, studied audio engineering and technology at SAE in New York. Upon returning to The Texas Hill Country we thought it was a no-brainer to complement the media studio with a recording facility on the other end of the property. It might have seemed like an outlandish idea to some, but we viewed the recording studio as the perfect marriage to our production limb. Each space was built with exceptional attention to detail and equipped with the best audio and production equipment available. Not only are the studios warm and inviting, they are technically superior. Though we have amazing studios and equipment, our personnel is what truly differentiates us. We have a world-class professional staff that assist the development of ideas through craftsmanship and experience. Our team brings a positivity to every project and strives to deliver a top-notch product. They offer amazing service with integrity, and we believe one cannot exist without the other! Today, Studios at Fischer is a spacious and cutting-edge audiovisual campus including multiple motion capture production spaces and a sound stage, recording studio, and nonpareil location to develop and launch new music or talent.
If you have multiple revenue streams in your business, would you mind opening up about what those streams are and how they fit together?
The diverse nature of our studios is reflected in our various revenue streams. Dragonfly Media Studio revenue is comprised of photography and motion capture and is capable of converting to a comprehensive sound stage, offering a flexible range of options for small, medium, and large-scale video productions. Firefly Sound Studio, our state-of-the-art music recording facility features two world-class control rooms where clients can cut tracks, mix a record, or produce an audio-visual live stream performance in the live room. We also have Live at SF, offering clients the ability to combine the strengths of Firefly Sound Studio and Dragonfly Media Studio. Fully integrated, the studios provide an opportunity for artists to reach audiences on a large scale through professionally produced, high-quality recorded or live-streamed experiences. Spaces can be utilized to compose, rehearse, record music, shoot and record video or film, or stream content to audiences around the world or for personal and corporate rental space. Our equipment and crew is also available for off-site production needs. Finally, we own an indie label, Lucky Hound Music, and a management company, 484 Management. The artists we represent have a massive advantage at the studios to create and record both music and visual content on one location.
What’s worked well for you in terms of a source for new clients?
Studios at Fischer does not advertise, preferring word of mouth to establish relationships with new clientele. This isn’t the quickest way to get attention but quick isn’t always beneficial. We know when people come and work here, they leave with an experience that they will treasure and share with others. We believe that beats any paid advertising we could pursue.
