wrap up

ADR was a fun challenge for our project. Between subtitles and lip reading however, it went surprisingly well. There was a couple lines that we had to go back and tweak with a second session, but I think we nailed them on the second run. Overall, this project was fun to tackle.

The Wasteland

Jeff and I continue to make progress on Teenage Wasteland. Mike and Andy helped with our ADR sessions, so we got some solid dialogue where it was a little spotty. I'd really like to learn how to get better on-location audio because I have a hard time focusing on audio with all the other stuff going on during a shoot. We seem to have bounced back from the loss of our audio mixing team. Overall, this film was a blast to shoot, stress included. The actors were professional and very willing to do what it took to make an interesting film. I learned a lot of things that you can only get through trying to make a film. Thats always fun.

Finishing Touches

Kelly and I are putting the finishing touches on our project this week (color correction and the final mix). The credits will take a little bit. Lots of people to involve and as always some extra special thanks to. The ADR sessions went well. The actors and mix engineers were great to work with. We were able to find someone for our cop ADR. Unfortunately, the police chief in Fishers couldn't make it up for the sessions. Anxious to see how the other projects turn out.

ADR

ADR went fine. Our actors were in a great mood and there's a lot of positivity in our group. Since Tori and I apparently have no audio group, I captured sounds on my own and will export them in the server this week. Easy. Project is almost done, and I'm rather sad that I'm graduating. Mainly b/c I have no job.

Quick Post - Venting Anger

I just had finished posting my CEC poster, now I am messing around on the computer -- just remembering to write this blog. I have been thinking back on this class, and I was thinking about how much I was looking forward to it... I wouldn't want to say that it was a complete disappointment, but I am discouraged with the entire process. Part of the reason I joined this class was to have help with these big project so I could focus on the more important aspects -- like directing, story, and cinematography. But, I've never had that help -- not once. I've done everything myself, all the way back since project 1. I've never had help from the audio side. Sure, I've had ADR and Foley sessions for me - which do help a lot - but both times I've had to do my own mix. That's hardest part of all the audio team's duties -- It's nothing different from the past years and the projects I've done on my own, but that was why I joined this class was for help. If I am doing everything myself, I'm gonna write the script too. It is just a headache. It would have been nice to have help with this stuff...

Post Up

Poster's up.  One of several designs I came up with...didn't get the pics we were gonna use for some of the others, so I went with that.  ADR went great last week...further proving the awesomeness of our cast.  It's pretty awesome to hear the VO with the film--makes a huge difference.  Gotta say, it was pretty difficult editing for pacing without the VO, but it turned out great.  Good commo with the audio team...coloring/vfx is going well.  Everything's coming together.  Really excited for the finished product.

Peter Posted a Pretty Poster

Heather and I finished our poster. For it we had a photo shoot Friday and we had a chance encounter with a racist 6 year old. He's also "a KILLA" apparently. It was a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, We had to use copyrighted music our last film. It'll work for the grade but the score is gonna take a lot more work. It's a shame. I think I'm close to settling on a title though.

This racism is killin' me inside!

ADR & Poster Work

Well we had a lot of ADR to do, but I think it went pretty well all in all. I love our cast!

I finished up the poster this afternoon and it turned out exactly how I wanted to, though from the looks of some of the other ones, I'm not too certain it'll be picked. Great job all!
