All I did was mix and mix and mix the week after i posted last. It was very tedious to say the very least.
The Phoenix Film Festival was last week. it started the 3rd, the day i wanted to finish by. well, by the 3rd i was not done. I was close, but not done. i spent all that day at tapia's working on the movie, and then took fri-sat-sun off. just getting a break from the movie, hanging with Molly, etc. Plus I couldn't really move forward because i was waiting for that song from nashville. they didn't want to email me a copy or anything. Instead they snail mailed me a copy. it came in the mail Tuesday. I was exstatic. I stayed up all night trying to finish to get it done for the 8th so that i could pull a scene and walk into my old capstone class and "turn in" my capstone. Well, come about 6:30am on wednesday i couldn't do it. So i had to leave to pick molly up from work. I could have gone back to tapia's that morning and finished but i was exhausted. So i went to bed and went back to tapia's that afternoon. I worked all day and at about 8:00pm on wednesday i thought i was maybe 2 hours from finishing. just going over stuff again. you know. anyway, i got a strange call. a number from new york. It was Chad Ohnstad. If you go back and look at my old posts, he was someone i had wanted to help me produce the movie. well he was in town and wanted to meet up. I told him i was about to finish the movie and he was like "no shit!". he came over and we caught up for like an hour and then he left to let me finish and i'd call him when it was done. well, as it has gone with the project since the beginnning. it took me roughly 3 times as long to finish as i thought it would. I finished about 3am on thursday morning. I started the export and burning process and it took roughly 3 hours. the first disc was done at 6am and I had to leave to get molly at 7am at the hospital. when i got back at tapia's at about 9am some how i feel asleep on the couch. i don't remember how. i just woke up. kinda strange. the first thing i did was go get a hair cut. Jarvis was with me. In fact, Jarvis was hanging with me the whole time i was working on the movie for the past few days. it was nice company. well, we went and i got my hair cut. then we met Chad and some other friends at Four Peaks and had a celebration lunch. Then we went back and watched the film. Everyone had great reactions. I was actually surprised.
so that was about it. Since then i've taken a week off. just watching the movie as much as i can on different tv's and sound systems. there a few problems that i missed in the final mix that i'll have to go back and fix. but no need to rush. I watched the movie with Jason, he said i did a good job in the mix. The movie also looked really well on my TV i thought. i'm excited to move forward now.
moving forward now. right? now what?.....
Since the movie is done. I'm going to discountinue this blog and start a new one. www.madisonhallmovie.blogspot.com. As a fresh chapter in the life of the movie, i figure i'll create a new blog. plus, i'm sick of having to log into my old gmail account to update this one. yay for less log ins! :) see you on the new page!
