Life in Lansing,
a website that promotes events and places around Lansing, has
opened its own production studio.
The 1,600 sq. ft. space gives
the Life
in Lansing team a space to record video, audio and
take photographs.
Marc Francoeur, one of the creators of Life in Lansing,
describes the
last few months as "busy, busy" and says that the website has been
growing. He cites the addition of high school sports coverage behind the
explosion in web traffic.
“High school sports has been huge. We
had
4,000 hits one day,” says Francoeur. He adds that the average time
visitors spend on the
website is over five minutes.
The production studio is next to Francoeur's other business,
MC Squared
Technology Group, located in Okemos, and it features more than just
studio space. "There is retail space in the front," where Francoeur says
they will "sell locally produced things." The front retail space is
about 25
ft by 15 ft. The rest of the location is used for the production
studio.
The project “turned out better than expected," says Francoeur. "It
looks like a real
studio.” The rear of the studio will be used for
podcast recording. Francoeur also says he has enough room for a live
band and more than 30 audience members.
