RAAM: nearly there
Well, I didn’t quite hit my 8/31/08 deadline, but I’m close. I’ve finished the first pass of color correction (during which I learned so much about the subtlety of that art - I’ll blog later about it), and have finished mixing the first act of the movie.
Audio mixing is turning out to be much slower work (1 hour of work for 1 minute of movie), not only because the process is just plain slower, but because I can only do it for 1-1.5 hour chunks of time. Just like during a concert, my ears get fatigued and it’s hard to hear the full spectrum of audio. So, I alternate: 1 hour mixing, 1 hour quiet.
Today, I decided to be a little less of a perfectionist, so I suspect I’ll be able to go much, much faster now. It’s not like I’m trying to make a surround sound, theatrical mix; just something good enough for your TV.
