Well what is there to say about this fine week? Getting the sounds together was a little bit of a nightmare. While I found working with something entirely tangental to what I had been doing before enjoyable, the fact that I spent most of the time looking for sound effects bogged me down and made the process slower than it should of been. In addition to that I discovered that my ability to read a calendar really isn’t at a college level. As I had been working to get the sounds ready for frame lock on Wednesday the 17th, and Wednesday was the 18th. So everything was a day late as it was, and then there were further issues with the proTools session that sent me into a nervous panic Friday. I’m hoping that everything has been sorted, but I still am not sure.
Apart from that I’ve been trying to get everyone to finish bringing comps up to where they need to be. Avery has been making detailed instructions for each step so that we bring all the comps up one step at a time. It’s hard to enforce when hardly anyone shows up, but Juan’s gotten a bunch done, even won a cake from Avery on a bet.
I didn’t get any of the cake.
Oh, and this extra scene is coming along ok. I don’t want it to feel like an afterthought but it really is just something to try and get one more laugh. There’s some pictures below.
I also did this ice sim/render. Avery Comp’d
Once we get the audio we can hopefully use it to cut a new Trailer, which has been in a little bit of limbo since the initial cut. Avery’s friend made one for us thats 10xs better which we’ll use for actual festivals and such, but for the requirement with the class what we have should be fine once there’s final sound.
I also have been introducing people who have never seen Rocky to all the movies the past few weeks. Here are the lyrics to burning heart, since we made it through IV and V this week:
Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It’s a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom’s up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There’s a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning heart
In the warrious code
There’s no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries – never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Know it’s you against you
It’s the paradox
That drives us on
It’s a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It’s the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There’s a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There’s a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There’s a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire
In the burning heart
