Audio and whatnot

I think one of my favorite parts of the editing process is figuring out how the music can fit in.  I got some songs off of first com and I'm kind of cutting them up to fit in with the action...it's kind of fun I guess.  We did ADR on Thursday and it went really quickly.  They only had a few lines to do and even though Liz was sick (and you could tell) I still think she did a good job trying to sound upbeat.  Desiree went out and recorded some foley so we should be adding that in the next few days.

For some reason, I'm having a lot of trouble getting onto the server. I don't know if it's the server's problem or mine, but I hope it gets fixed soon since I haven't started the poster and I kind of need the logos and stuff to do that.  Does anyone already have the logos that they could send to me so Brad and I can finish up our poster?

Early blog

I'm going to go ahead and blog early since I won't be around this weekend/early next week.

Our ADR went great, and we pretty much "fixed" the car scene. While the audio team mixes, Sean and I will be doing color correction and effects to fix this thing up. Should be a good product with very limited snags!

Okay, going to Vegas now.

P2 ADR

So Al and I had our ADR sessions last night with our group. All I can say is that Meg and Alli saved our project from our goof with the location audio. Both sessions went very smoothly, and have many great takes for the audio team to work with. We still need to work on color correction, but other than that, I think the final product will be great. We originally had a MusTech major interested in composing a piece for us, but unfortunately his schedule didn't allow for that. We did find music that fits great though. Hope everyone else's projects turn out great.

Last Blog

Well this is the last blog I need to do to get my points for the class so I don't flunk out with about 8 weeks left. Well, Cyrus and I are in the process of getting our poster designed. I'm a little upset that I didn't get to see the movies last week but I guess I'll live. Hopefully no one had any problems getting them turned in and everything. Well I guess that's about all I have to say. I bid you farewell.

CTT & ADR

Well CTT is done and it looks really good. We have a lot of ADR to do, but we were able to schedule everything in so as long as nothing catestrophic happens with scheduling I think we'll end up with a great final product.

Post

Finally, we are ready to begin post production. We have allotted some extra time in the audio studios for ADR - as I understand it this is a big week for actors and call backs. Overall, I am very excited to see all of this come together. Kelly and I made some crucial cuts to the opening of the film. To be most democratic, we showed our rough cut to our actors and tried to incorporate their suggestions into the CTT.

P2 Progress

Well Jeff and I finished the CTT last night to put on some finishing touches. I am very happy with how the film turned out. We were in an awkward position because we were at 13:30 with the rough cut, and we had to cut the first scene. Its sad to do, but I think with the pacing and style of the film, it should work better. We are going to need plenty of time with ADR and color correction. I trust the audio team, they worked on my Tattle Tail film so I've had a chance to become familiar with them. I am very anxious to see the final product.
