So a couple weeks after my last post, Garth called to say he lost a drive in the array on his server. The bad news is that we were knocked back to Mid December. The good news is that (after many hours of work by G) were back up to here:

One line to retake in Ep 4
Rebuild SFX for final scenes in Ep 4
Need to re-tweak mix levels in eps 1-4 (bah)
So we’re …..you know……. 99.99999% done with “Dreams and Wings”

I can’t express enough how I want this show done and “in the can”. (In the old fashioned days when audio tape or film was used, when a project was finished, the reel of tape would be placed in tinny metal dinner plate sized short metal container or “can”.) I suppose a modern version would be “I want the show done and on the thumb drive!” This setback was like a baseball bat to the face.

Kendall has spent a while remixing the music he created for the 4 episodes of “Dreams and Wings” into a coherent 90 minute piece. Last night Kendall and I were hosting an electronic music show On KRCL ( twitter.com\showwithnoname ) and we played the full 90 minutes of score music over the radio. If you’d like a copy, then send an email to getssmusic@gmail.com
(of course I don’t see why we couldn’t make that music available in the forums)

Kendall is digging through the thousands of instruments in “Omnisphere” so we can find the couple of dozen “self dynamic” instruments that can be used to singlehandedly create music for a whole scene by basically holding down the middle C key on the keyboard. If we can find enough of these instruments (and I think we are), then show production can be improved by a factor of 10. It will open up a whole new world for us.

Off to work on the next story.
