I have been involved with theatrical and film endeavors for half a century and in those years have encountered many and diverse talents in all phases of these wonderful activities. But never have I worked with such a multi-faceted and highly intelligent talent like Robert Bullington. At heart a superlative vocal and musical performer, his innate artistic sensitivity to all things expressive permeates everything he does at Front Row Seat Productions. Over the years I have seen him effortlessly master the technical requirements of film and sound reproduction to become an extremely informed resource for both the artistic and informative needs of his clients. I would highly recommend him and his company for whatever are your artistic or commercial needs. His work is distinctive, artistically informed, deeply satisfying, and always sensitive to his clients visions.
Frederick Olessi, Playwright/FilmmakerAs the the director of the Schola Cantorum Youth Choir of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Metuchen, NJ. I have worked with Robert Bullington of Front Row Seat Productions for two years in a row as the recording engineer for our CD. Robert has been very sensitive to the sound of our choir and the needs of the children. His background as both a solo and choral singer have been invaluable in helping the children understand the nuances of singing for a recording. Robert has also been able to work collaboratively with our organist, often adjusting registration to fit the requirements of the recorded sound. I highly recommend Robert Bullington and Front Row Seat Productions as a recording engineer/company.
Julia JensonRecently, I approached Robert to help me with a problem – how to take a project recorded in 1995, bring it up to date (sound-wise), record new tunes (with a HD video), and make the whole thing sound like it really belonged together on a CD. Well, Robert did it without a second thought. His expertise in recording and digital editing/mixing/mastering (along with his very talented engineer Bobby Sparks) was phenomenal and I recommend him to any musician who wants an recording experience that is holistic and empathetic. You’ll do your best work in Robert’s studio. No doubt about that! From now on, I won’t go anywhere else
Robert Bullington and Front Row Seat Productions did an exceptional job of creating a professional and cost-effective PSA for our non-profit agency. Robert and his team facilitated a seamless, comfortable, and professional production experience, and really put us at ease throughout the process. We easily met our goals and timetable for the project, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the final result. It’s reassuring to work with an organization like Front Row Seat Productions – one that is truly community-oriented and cares deeply about the quality of the work they do for their clients. I cannot thank Rob and his team enough for the professional support and assistance they provided throughout the course of this very important project for our agency
Roslyn Dashiell, Executive Director of PEI KidsI learned about Front Row Seat Productions and Robert Bullington from a musician friend, and just can’t say enough about how pleased I am with the quality and artistry of what they accomplished for my organization. Robert is a master of his craft, and we got exactly what we paid for: high definition video, great audio, and all the camera angles and shots that distinguish professional video from the run-of-the-mill amateur work that is all too prevalent in today’s market. Pricing was reasonable, and turnaround time from performance to DVD master was incredible. In addition, Robert was readily available and helpful when it came to answering questions and making suggestions to make sure we would be happy with what he could do for us. From this point forward, Front Row Seat Productions can count on providing all my future video needs.
The Rev. Daniel Casselberry, Pastor, Pennington, New JerseyI cannot overstate how great of an experience I have had working with Robert Bullington at Front Row Seat Productions. His expertise and passion for his craft was evident throughout the entire recording process, and I am thrilled with the final product. The whole experience was wonderful, and I fully intend to continue working with him on future projects.
Eileen CooperFront Row Seat Productions was tremendously helpful in getting my daughter’s Arts Submission CD produced for her college application. They had the people, equipment and facility to handle everything from providing an accompanist to the final editing and production of the CD. They were very easy to work with and very accommodating to our needs. I would recommend them highly, especially for students who need a high quality, yet affordable, example of their work.
Kathleen JordanI highly recommend any choir or instrumental ensemble to hire your company for their needs. The great care, patience, speed, efficiency, and capturing of our personal musical “spirit” was incredible. A thousand thanks, Robert!
Diana BelkowskiMusical DirectorSt. Joseph's ChurchEast RutherfordThe members of trio@play very much enjoy working with Robert Bullington at Front Row Seat Productions because he possesses the qualities of a great recording engineer in spades! His collaborative nature makes him comfortable having clients involved in every step of the recording process, which is very important to us. Recording sessions can be potentially quite stressful, but Robert’s sense of humor and the relaxed environment he creates in the studio allow us to do our best work under pressure. He is able to come up with creative solutions to problems that surface during the editing process, and he is even willing to attempt the impossible so as not to rule out any potential solution. Robert is always responsive to our needs and very organized with appointments and scheduling. We highly recommend this recording engineer and studio, and look forward to future collaborations together!
