We Got our MIX!!

Hey guys!

big update and MAJOR milestone for us.....we FINALLY got our MIX. It is the first film we have ever Created  that had a real Audio mix .

It was incredibly eye opening.....I always knew that doing things professionally would improve the quality of the film......I just didn't know how much.

With every tweak of the sounds....with every smoothing of a V.O. file or audio transition....this film got BETTER.....It was like night and day....listening to the final mix from the first raw files....if we had a larger budget we could have spent the entire day there.

..... Lesson LEARNED...ha!

Part 1 - 

We first had a good buddy of Robert Litton .....adjust the music a bit before we go into the final mixing session....

He brought up the Bongos on a couple of the music sequences since we really wanted to make sure we could hear them.....here is a quick peek.

Next we headed over to another of Roberts friends studios and did the FULL mix.

so....We have all the music -sfx and Voice over mixed. 

The only thing left now is the color correction which has now been put in motion. 

We are in talks with a color correction guy and studio . We really want to find the right guy and place for the job.....We should be able to make something happen in the next few weeks.

Here is a peek at the Making of Dober from the special features-

more to come...including a MAKING Fester the FLEA behind the scenes.

POST is getting Close!!

Hey Guys!

Our MUSIC is all wrapped up.....and tonight at 9:30 pm. we get to have our ears and our eyes come together for the first time since the scoring.

VERY EXCITING!!

Our Next Big Task - The Voice over - is completely wrapped  and delivered to the Sound Designer - Check!!

After auditioning the entire family for Dober and Flea we ended up casting and recording our characters.

....I ended up doing all of Fester fleas V.O

......and our professional Voice Actor Friend - James Sie- ended up doing Dober's V.O.

Finishing and editing the V.O. was definitely another Big Task.....Bigger than you ever think it will be........but Shel rocked it out in record time.....

The coolest thing about it is that just like the music - the quality of the film just goes up sooo much when the characters start emoting. 

Some of the concepts and ideas in the film that I might not have been clear enough in communicating.....are becoming crystal clear now that we have the tonal shifts in the V.O in the mix.

Our last AUDIO Task was - SFX.

We also should have all of our Sound FX wrapped up by the end of this weekend....
.....We just got to listen to the first bits ....and are very excited to listen to more.

After all those elements are done we have a scheduled MIXING DAY where all of us will get together and choose the levels for the entire film.

 We will choose How each Piece of sound-music-sfx- will SOAR or  fade back a bit....... 

...its gona be a FUN process....here is a clip of some flea V.O. noises.

We also recently got our Dober maquette's in from the molder...and they looks fantastic!! 

We will start painting them pretty soon....and I will share  progress pics here....

---- I have more fun behind the scenes videos for you guys.....so.....sneek peeks to come..
