This summer's project has tried to kill me. Seriously, if it wasn't for the computer problem that I had to deal with a few weeks back it was the microphone issues that plagued a few of my days of shooting, of course the metering on the camera was off so I assumed I was all good. Bad choice not having a dedicated sound guy handle the mic's and ensure that there was actually sound being recorded! So needless to say, quite a few scenes had to have voice over work. Some worked well, a couple not so much. The film is edited down, the audio is as good as it gets for right now. In the next weeks I will get a few of the actors back in to do voice overs for a couple scenes that I feel need to be cleaner and will edit down a trailer as well for the Second Life screening. Aside from the issues, I had a blast working on this. Would I change things? Of course I would! I think this was a great learning experience for myself and also Tyler which is great because that's what we are here for afterall right?
I must say though, the one thing that I learned the most from this project was hop imperative it is to triple check your sound constantly during filming. I made a real mistake by assuming and it ended up costing me days of headaches. On top of that was also sometimes the actors strayed slightly from the script so when it came time to do VO work, reading from the script didn't work. We had to read lips in some parts to get the exact dialog recorded in post production! Yes, it was a nightmare!
I did export in compressor at a small size to help with uploading. If it looks too small or really crappy, I will re-render on Monday and re-upload it.
