I had an awful day last Tuesday. For one i thought i was done synching and when i was exporting all of the tracks to burn to a dvd i realized i missed an entire character. sigh. We need to burn a DVD with all the ADR and watch the movie with the ADR and takes notes. Well when i started to burn the DVD i got a failer notice that said something about improper formats. this was at like midnight because it took almost 2 hours to export every track from every project file. so Grady and I tried to add the tracks to final cut and listen and not only where some audio tracks out of sync, there were sound bites that where not there in the ADR timeline. Like off take stuff, me giving the actors direction, etc. We where very very confused and it was late and we where tired. After fiddling around with exporting at different setting and stuff we were able to figure out that what was happening was that some tracks where at different bit rates than others and also different htz rates than others. we dicided to give up and go home. i had an aweful rest of the night. i just couldn't sleep and i had to work the next day, plust i had to get up early and pick molly up.
so i'm at tapia's now. it's friday, a few days later, and i finished synching the last actor that i had missed. now i'm updating this becaue i can't work anymore here. I need to talk to antonio about how to export correctly out of sound track to make a the ADR DVD and i need to figure out a way to update mike's final cut before i could work on color or framing.
i met with miguel. we talked about some legal stuff and caught up a bit. it was good to see him. he said he might be able to get me a few paying gigs over the next few months which would be awesome. He also said that once the film is completed if i wanted to do anything comercially with it i need to clear through the "ASU" Film committee. that makes me nervous but he said there's nothing to worry about. he's seen the movie and i'm not a student anymore so i can't see why he would lead me astray. he also mentioned off handeldly about how if the film did make money the School might want a very small portion of the income for the use of equipment and mentorship, which i don't think he's %100 wrong but it will be a very touchy subject when we get closer to that point. a friend of mine said i should find my own laywer to figure it out. i'm not sure what i'll do yet. right now i just want to finish the movie.
nothing from Kristin Kelley or anyone else i emailed. we'll see.
