Working the other fifty percent

As I wrote before, what you hear in a film is 50% of what you see. Lately, that's what we've been working on.

Last week, Jacob and I drove out to Robert's house/studio, somehow taking the most circuitous route possible through the suburbs. We spent a few hours with V Bob working on the final details of his score, which is now completed and works beautifully.

Yesterday, we spent several more hours in Boogie Studio, with our favourite engineer Denis Eric Pednault. Denis' first professional job was sound engineer on LEONARD,LIGHT MY CIGARETTE! which his training could not have prepared him for. He's been working with us ever since. Now he's a Dad and owns his own place - a big man.

We were there for a few reasons. My father Tom came in to read his parts as Narrator, bringing the voice we loved from ARTIE'S FILM to the mix. I also ADR'd one of my scenes that hadn't been recorded properly. And, finally, we started mixing, mastering, etc... But time ran out and Denis will continue to do it on his own.

We're almost there!
