Hitrecord

I have been to every taping that Joseph has done here in LA and I will keep going as long as he is shooting. Such a fun time and the ONE place I am encouraged to use my phone and or camera.

JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT. Need I say more? Amazing show! I bought the tickets, not knowing much about hitRECord, but did a bit of research after. He's such a genius in creating this artistic atmosphere for those who wants their voices to be heard. I really commend him for doing this. The dance number with surprise guest Tony Danza was FANTASTIC! It was such an incredible show and he really wants everyone to be a part of his show. He had moments where he would go into the audience and interact with them. Prior to the show, he posted on hitRECord and Facebook to have people send answers to 1 of 8 questions that were themes to the show. During the taping, he would call on some participants down and have a conversation with them, having them explain their answers. It was great to see someone allow the audience to be such a huge role in this taping instead of him being on stage and talking for most of the time. And the best thing was that we could record the whole show to contribute on his website! The only downside was it ran a bit long. The ticket said it starts at 8, but in actuality the doors opened at 8 and the show didn't start til 9. But there was some problems with tickets that delayed the show to around 9:30-10ish. And since it was a taping of the show, we had to do multiple takes for each scene/episode. I could tell there were many things that had to be cut out so that they could fit everything into the time period that was available. My friend had to leave early during the final taping because it was running too long and there were technical difficulties that delayed it even more (it was around 1AM when we left). I was bummed that I couldn't stay for the rest of the taping, but I was starving... haha Other than that, I would definitely recommend going to the show if you love being in a creative atmosphere and being a part of something special! :)

To say that the show was a great time would be an understatement. HitRECord on TV was, by far, one of the best venue events I've ever been to! Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a fantastic host and to be around so many creative individuals who are all there for the same cause was incredible! If you haven't gone to a HitRECord show yet, I highly recommend you do so!

I found it was a celebration of mediocrity shrouded in celebrity to make it forgivable. If there was no Joe or NPH or Gary Oldman etc, no one would care, and trolls would rip the thing apart. I would wonder who tried to blur the line between "artistic expression" and "doing excellent art" to celebrate what may seemed many times to be laziness. Let me explain: I'd say 20% of the stuff was actually good and done with professional level skill (some of the writing, and most of the graphics and animations), but the rest - bad camera work, bad audio, bad editing, bad voice acting, and no one knows how to tell a good STORY -- so I got bored. People will disagree and try to be all "How dare you! This is a great thing Joe is doing getting artists to work together" but in reality most of the stuff is like junior high art class quality. Surely I can't be the only one...

Simply the best show. Inventive, funny, and touching.

I'm a hitRECorder, so I'm a bit biased, but I can safely say a good time was had by all. Not only was the community's art on display through the voices and talent of some amazing guests (Sia, Kid Koala, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, and Neil Patrick Harris to name a few), but also hitRECorders TheMetafictionist, Kampaign, Ozie, and pamagotchi performed hitRECord work On Stage! This was my very first live hitRECord show and it won't be my last. Thanks to All who made it happen because I'm still smiling, floating, laughing, and tweeting about our Spectacular Night! <3

This event is unlike any event I have ever been to. It was oozing imagination and collaboration. Seeing everybody in their interpretations of "dressing up" was exciting. It was nice to see how fancy everyone looked to enjoy this live event. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was an amazing host and his excitement was overflowing and contagious. I absolutely loved it and hope HitRecord has a spring formal, too!

Creativity, collaborations, inspirations, love love and surprise guests everywhere. Great night, great show. Very entertaining.

The HitRecord show was great! Such a fresh and unique experience. And the idea to make it a Fall Formal (dress up and all) made it that much better. I mean, who doesn't want to pull their prom dress out of the closet just one more time?! So, it was great. The only downside to the evening was the sound at times. It occasionally got to the point that my friend and I couldn't understand anything that was being said. And if there was any music behind it, forget it. Not all the time, but it happened. Great show nonetheless!

When you walk away from a show with a newly ignited desire to create and communicate, you know you saw something great!

A true lesson in what artists can do when combined with others of like mind.

This event was a lot of fun; full of surprise star appearances by Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Sia, and Neil Patrick. The event was non-stop entertainment with original music, original video clips submitted and remixed by everyone in the Hit RECord family, and original stories about love, life and the passion of creating art for the Regular Joe.

The show was amazing! It was very interactive and engaging. I loved being able to take photos and videos freely. Joe really tried to get the audience to interact and the crowd was loving it! I feel the show did start way too late. If it was going to run 3.5+ hours, it needed to start between 7-8. There were parents waiting to pick their kids up so angry at how late they got out. Also, the Orpheum needs to get their mobile ticketing pickup process under control. Having to wait to start the show because they didn't know what they were doing was ridiculous. The 4 star rating is simply because of the time and venue drawbacks. The show itself was AMAZING and I would highly recommend it to anyone!

So much fun!! I wish I could re-live the evening. I cannot wait for another event by HitRecord!!

I would personally give this 5 stars and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is for the people who might not understand the necessity of the repetition for the television shoot. Anyway. . .I highly admire Joseph Gordon-Levitt for creating this collaborative community and bringing this vision to the public. It's a unique concept where artists can come together and see their visions put together in one great (and fun) show! I look forward to seeing (and being part of) more HitRECord shows.

This show was really cool, and it was inspiring to see how invested Joseph is in it and the artist community. It was a touch long which I didn't expect but other than that it was a wonderful experience!

Drove from out of state to see the show. Well worth the drive and an unforgettable experience. It was very entertaining and nothing else can compare. I'll definitely go to another show.

Awesome experience to be part of Joe's show. He is so likeable and talented. Worth the money just to see him sing, dance, and do a back flip on stage....twice.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt really knows how to put on a show for the audience, and this one was special because it was the taping for his tv show!! He does his best to interact with the audience as much as possible!!

Innovative and refreshing, best part about it is that it did not appear to be scripted and was real.

This show was amazing! I got to see my fav actor up close and personal!

JGL was very charming, real, and intelligent. The performance was lively and interact and a DELIGHT! If he has this event elsewhere, I would go there in a heartbeat. Thank you for creating Hitrecord!

Simply amazing night. I loved the show and Joe's leading capabilities.

It was fun in the first hour, but this event lasted over three hours and was just basically doing audience work. Only Joseph Gordon-Levitt could get people to pay him to do audience work. I'd only recommend if you're a giant JGL fan that gets off on seeing him. Don't bother recording anything unless you have a high end camera, this event gave me the impression it'd be everyone with cell phone cameras, but there were Canons, etc everywhere.

i want my 4 hours back. When I wanted to originally go to this event I thought this would be a variety show full of live acts, shorts, and little things in between. I did not think I would have to watch them over and over again with JGL telling me to applaud, and then record everything for his show. This should have been a free event as I felt i was at a taping and not at a show where I am supposed to be entertained. On the plus side Tony Danza is great!

It was amazing! Joseph was incredible and the space beautiful.

it was amazing and awesome and the best thing ever. period. hitrecord is really an amazing website and a great opportunity to work with some really talented, passionate people. i just wish i had been closer to the stage.

I had no idea what to expect walking into this, but I am so glad I got tickets. There was so much talent and the work they displayed was great. If they have this next year I am definitely going.

I confess - I was at the Fall Formal b/c I was a fan of JGL and didn't really know what hitrecord was all about. Although my favorite parts of the show were still JGL and his special guest stars, overall the show was really entertaining with all its diverse/original content. There were several insightful and inspiring short films/songs/recordings, and all amazing performances. The only downside was that it wasn't all that organized - not quite the "well oiled machine," so the show dragged at some points.

Great time! Special guests and of course wildly fun entertainment

I still get over the fact that I attended this event and that I saw such amazing and talented people. Aside from seeing Joseph Gordon-Levitt himself, Anne Hathaway, Gary Oldman, Sia, and other artists the collaborative recording, the cinema, and the live performances really made this event one of a kind.

There simply are no other words. The whole event was very inspiring - being around Joe and thousands of creative people. I loved the way they alternated the night with everything from films, to music, to twitter responses (and then interviews), to celebrity surprise guests, to skits, to encouraging everyone to RECord the whole show. It's definitely on my list of events to attend in the future.

I am sold. I am going to every Fall Formal. It is great to see our community collaborate and contribute to one another. It is amazing when you can be a part of something big like this. People empowering others. Even if you are small you can still play a big game. This is what Joseph Gordon-Levitt has created for us, a chance to show our greatness and be acknowledged for it.

inspiring, creative, and fun. full of different art forms that formed a cohesive whole

There aren't even enough words or stars to describe how wonderful this night was. The performances were unforgettable and the surprises were wonderful. Thank you to Joe and the hitRECord team as well as my fellow hitRECorders for a night I will NEVER forget. <3

Such a great show and very entertaining! Would definitely go again in a heartbeat! Very cool.

Los Angeles is amazing. Playing to a full house JGL was funny, charming and multi-talented. His special guests were equally wonderful, many of whom are super A list, and even sat in regular seats in the audience. No VIP box here. The crowd participation was hilarious and the night was absolutely one of a kind.

it was a great show full of collaborators. it was definitely a well oiled machine.

This was a pretty cool show. I enjoyed myself for the most part.. however, it was extremely unorganized. Everyone was dressed up and at the Orpheum for heaven's sake, not some bar in Silverlake, the show should have been seamless. Also, there were very dead moments where nothing was really going on. Paying $60 a ticket, I expected to be fascinated for the whole show and not just enjoy a celebrity or two and the host's closing number. If I'd paid $40 a ticket, I may have been a little nicer. Just really frustrating.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and his many collaborators on HitRecord put on an amazing, one of a kind show. The energy, the talent and creativity of everyone involved and the host was something completely inspiring and contagious. It was a pleasant surprise to see special guests such as Anne Hathaway, Neil Patrick Harris and Gary Oldman participating live on the show. Attending this show really opened up my eyes to the beautiful creativity and originality that still exists in so many people of our generation and it has been so refreshing and comforting for me. Thumbs up for Joe and the HitRecorders! Loved the show!

I'll keep it short & simple. Fall Formal was AMAZING! One of (if not the) greatest show's I've ever been to! So inspiring. The pieces were incredible, the celebrity guests were fantastic, & the idea that we were creating new stuff right there & then was awesome. Definitely worth every penny. Can't wait for another event. Thanks Joe!

My BFF & I are big fans of JGL's work and are huge supporters of people expressing their passions, so we had to check out this show. We can't wait until the next one. We got our money's worth and it was so much fun dressing up and being in such a charasmatic theatre!
