So apparently Dan hasn’t done a thing and asked me the other day if I want someone else to do it. I’m starting to doubt whether he’ll do it at all. I really don’t want to add another thing to my plate. Maybe I’ll just have Grady do it to give him a break from sound. I’ll have to talk to Dan about it.

Picture Misc
I’ve been playing around with exporting from final cut. I want to make sure that when the movie is all said and done and I do the final export, that I export at the highest possible quality, etc, etc. I played around with doing a little exporting for the old trailer for the new website. I also was trying to cut off the bottom and top black bars so that the picture is just the widescreen picture as apposed to a full screen image with black bars on it. i figured out a way to do it but it seemed to hurt the image quality. There’s a few people I need to talk to about it.

ADR
I haven’t called Kristin yet. I keep hoping to get an email from her. Maybe I’ll call her tomorrow. I’m starting to worry she’ll file a restraining order on me or something. I’ve got a contract with her signature that says she’d come in for ADR, but who knows. I just wish she’d communicate with me more.

Mixing
syncing is still taking longer than I thought. This group project in particular is taking a long time. Grady’s been taking a few days off, come to think of it, so have I. It’s hard for me to work in the lab because I get distracted by friends and people who need help. I’m anxious for the semester to get closer to ending so that the lab dies down.

Misc Sound
For ADR syncing I started a “group” project in sound track in which I am putting together all of the off screen dialogue that’s more of a “director” thing. I’m trying to be effeciant so I can get all this syncing done and this is stuff that Grady wouldn’t know what to do with. It’s going ok so far.

Posters
Johnny sent me the finished poster for the four guys (adam, ben, kent, and josh). It looks great. I spent about 2 hours doing detail work, just cleaning up individual pixels that didn’t get filled in with the paint bucket tool he was using. But I didn’t want to bug him with that stuff that’s not really creative work but more bitch work. I can do that. It’s good to try to do the bitch work for the people that work for you for free. It’s the least I can do. I talked to Kenny today about doing the Photoshop work with titles and credits and stuff. He’s real good at stuff like that.
