Late night on sound level mixing - another day of that today before heading into score. Level mixing may not be the sexiest job on the planet - but it sure as hell makes a MIND-BLOWING HUGE difference in the movie. HUGE. Excited to hit the ground running today - but I must say - not being able to wake up at 3 a.m. and fire up my personal edit studio has been an adjustment for me lol - I find myself searching the internet for 24 hour coffee shops and pacing the floor a bit as I wait for the sun to break so I can get back to work on CRAWL. Can’t say enough so far about Jarod and Blackwatch Studios - not sure that the 3,000 plus sound clips on this project have been overwhelming to them/Jarod or not - but his drive and work ethic sure doesn’t show it if so. I’ve received many emails asking about their services - so far I’d say this: If you’re doing a film - I’d have to put Jarod/Blackwatch Studios at the top of a very very short list of profesional sound/score companies that I would ever let touch my film - or yours. If after this project they are willing to do another film - I’ll pass along information for you to contact them and ask about their services. I’m not gonna lie people - sound is a TON of work. A TON - and - VITAL. In the end - as I watch footage as Jarod grapples with each clip of sound - I have to say - I simply can not wait to get this film out and in the hands of film fans - and I truly mean that. The performances are great! A huge nod to all the actors and crew for putting their soles into the film. More updates/vids and pics today of the sound creation for the movie over on the http://www.facebook.com/2FILMMAKERS2JOURNEYS FB page - now I’ll drink some more coffee and get ramped up for the studio doors to open - the hours don’t click away fast enough ;-)
