Post 7 AKA Rebirth of the Horned Monarch

I've been doing stuff.
Sound stuff.

This makes me happy.


We recently shot something for our Pledgme video (which I will provide details for soonish), where I had to stand there like a fool. I offered to swing the boom pole, as I noticed the camera-op was also soundie, but without headphones. I was displeased.
Then, for more footage, they finally got me back into sound. Then the channel inputs on the camera were iffy and I had to point the mic via a camera mount rather than an actual boom pole. So the actual production sound was super lame.

But afterwards I was thrown into the post-sound. With choppy voices and massive changes in room tone I soon found I was in too deep.
Now here's a fun fact about me. I love being in too deep.
It really pushed me to provide great results with poor base material and I think I produced something worthwhile. But the proof will be in the pudding I suppose.

Oh yeah and we had Rialto 48 Hour Film Making Competition the weekend just been. Long hours of sweaty men, fake narcotics and time travel made a very messy minded Me.
It provided a great chance to get back into the hectic swing of things. Experience as an AD was good, as I forgot most of the calls the first few takes, once more proving I need to keep doing things to remember them.
Ah well, I'll be more structured for the actual cinematic shoot, and I'll carry a big stick just in case.

Also a note to my future self: Never dismiss Funk for background music.
