Normalized

I seem to have started this habbit of posting on wednesdays. not sure why. So my first week went of full time work on the movie went fairly well. It was a little difficult to get up early in the morning and get down to tapias but it seems to be getting easier.

I have finished normalizing all of the dialog and I feel great about it. There are only maybe 2 or 3 real concerns i have in terms of quality and continuity. there's a point at which we where ADRing a light coversation between vic and steve (ashton and price) and then they have scripted lines. well we didn't adr the scripted lines, only the conversation, and the jump from the ADR to the in camera sound is really jaring there and doesn't match. I was afraid things like this would happen but i was also prepared for it and i'm sooooo happy that there are so few places where that accured.

i've started putting in the roomtones and sound effects and it's going pretty well. the foley we did worked out well but i'm finding that there's a lot more that i have to do. I did a lot of foley and even though i know i didn't get it all i didn't reallize that i barely did half. owe well. i plan on renting equipment sometime in the next two week so or so. The roomtones are 50/50. Half the time they work and half the time they don't. the only reason they don't work though is because they were recorded to low. we need to record room tones at a higher volume level and turn it down, rather than the oposit. kind of like taking a high quality picture and scaling it down to a thmb as apposed to taking a thmb and scaling it up. get my drift?

i did hear from kristin and she said she's trying to find time.

i got a bunch of responses from the craigs list add. i'll respond to some of them tonight.

i also posted an add for a VO artist for a new trailer. i got a bunch of responses which is good. i'm not going to approach anyone until i have something to work with though.

Tom liked some of the music i sent him but some of it he didn't think worked for the movie. which made me sad but that's alright. he did have a good suggestion about moving some placements of songs and that got me really excited. he also sent me some original work for the film that Molly really liked. i'm still undecided but i have yet to hear it and see the picture at the same time. That's the next step. He also said he's anxious to get working on some other stuff and wanted me to spot the film out for him. I'm going to try to do that either tomorrow or friday.

That's about it. I know nobody reads these things but if anyone has any questions feel free to post them and i'll do my best to answer them. Except you Dan. Don't post a thing. i'll just delete your comments.
