Brian, my new sound guy, is awesome! While there were some things which we just couldn't do anything about like wind on the mic on rooftop scenes, some softly spoken dialog, fluorescent lights humming and birds chirping throughout a corporate newscast (the result of doing greenscreen shooting outdoors), the film sounds 100 times better! Dialogue matches better between different shots and takes. There's a bunch of actual foley now (wait until you hear the fight scene!). When people are on the phone, you can hear the person on the other end, songs have been edited to flow better with what is on screen. Levels are a lot better all around. Some of the music has been switched around. It's not perfect, but I couldn't expect perfection with what I had to offer. But it's as perfect as this thing could possibly sound without having to go back in and re-record every bit of dialogue. So after he makes the final changes, I'll be making some final video changes (I'm not crazy about how the newscasts have been looking, so I'm going to dump them to tape, put them on my crappy TV, and shoot it from the TV screen. I also might try to use a filter to make it all look more like film), and then finally getting this sucker mastered, only close to a full year after the first official premiere! The DVD probably won't have any extras, at least not the self-released version. The guy who is helping me get the DVD made doesn't have software that will do alternate audio tracks, so I won't be able to do a commentary track, though if I can sell enough copies to warrant it, I may record one and have it available to download as mp3 or something. I'm also feeling a bit better than I was yesterday. I got an email for some possible freelance. I've worked on some other small freelance projects. I heard from festival lady and she says the proof of the programs looked pretty good (though I'm reserving judgement on that until I see them myself).
