Well, I'm getting close to being done with this sound mixing business and the playback was getting so choppy that I had to stop and defrag the firewire drive. It's almost completely fragmented. Other than that, things are going pretty well. There are definitely some things I'll need more help with but I think I've got some decent levels and everything is audible, which is really the minimal expectation for sound in a no-budget film. Hopefully whoever picks us up for distribution will kick in for some serious remastering, but for now, I think this will do just fine. So while I've been doing that, Anne and Karen have been going through our closet and getting rid of everything that we don't want to move with. It's amazing how much junk people can aquire over the years. I found my old brownie super8 camera which someday I might actually try to shoot some film with. I also found my mini reel to reel that I bought on ebay a couple years ago when I was on my big reel to reel kick. I bought it because it's really tiny and the plan was that I was going to put some of my records on the little tapes and listen to them at work that way. Sure, I could have just recorded them to my hard drive and burned a CD or recorded into my minidisk recorder, but I really wanted to be the only one at work listening to music on a mini reel to reel. Anyway, this thing came with a bunch of little tapes, and they turned out to be a guy's recorded letters home to his wife and kids from Vietnam. Ever since, I've wanted to get them recorded and put them online and I've just never found the time for that big of an undertaking, let alone figured out how or where or in what way they would be presented online. Hell, I've never even listened to all of them. It's always felt kind of too voyeristic to just sit and listen to them by myself, though sharing them with others seems more appropriate. But of course, nothing's going to happen with them in any way any time soon what with getting this movie done, moving across the country, getting a new job, getting married, and getting settled in a whole new city. Hell, the older they are, the more intersting they'll be.
