RE: Stro - Greg - 03-14-2020
If you go to the movie, you might see I do that. The Maestro bit. You on the other had are completely off my radar.

RE: Stro - Greg - 03-24-2020
Woohoo. I'm watching the full movie again today with an eye towards color grading and an ear for audio levels.
I'm still waiting on the score from my composer. I hope to see bits of it soon.
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-24-2020
Film watch party over.
Still came out of it with three pages of notes. That's not worrying at all.
Overall, I think I did a good job with the audio and the color grading. Two of the speakers have absolutely horrific background noise, which I hope I can fix.

Good things are happening!
My friend Lyndell just sent me a WIP photo of the poster he is doing. It's awesome. He said he was going to finish it whether I liked it or not.
And I have a sound guy delivering cleaned up audio tracks.
Later today, I'm going to get the first pieces of music from the composer.
I'll wait here quietly for the other shoe to drop.

When you start a post, "Good things are happening!" I wince a bit, suspecting you're being cynical. But this all sounds rock-solid good.
Hoping it stays that way.
BTW, on Wednesday it hailed here in Mountain View for some 15 minutes (the garden briefly turned white, but the seedlings survived). I am viewing it as a good omen for me and everyone I know.
Because what else could it be?
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-27-2020
Such cynicism from one so young.
The problem could be that after such a long journey I'm feeling euphoric about the end.
It could be a false euphoria, of course.

Or premature. Everyone suffers a little premature euphoriation now and again.
Now about those magnets...you know I collect magnets. Well, sort of. I've started to collect them on my file cabinet. At work. Where I can't add to them now. Okay, now I'm sad again.
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-27-2020
I have scored the score! Time to sync it up and see if it fits.
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-28-2020
I'm having a stupid dream about haircuts and expensive pottery, but as I wake up one line echoes through my head:
"You can't find Stro's grave because of the black magic involved"
So, that's how my day started at 3:48am. How are you doing?

That actually makes a lot of sense.

That's my Indian name 'Makes a lotta sense"
Well. I've finished with the score. Yeah. Sigh. I've got a lot of work to do.
RE: Stro - Drunk Monk - 03-28-2020
I've been trying to come up with a witty comeback to Makesalottasense all morning. I give up.
Good to hear you're making progress. Keep plugging. Or as Stro would say 'Hit da muddafawkker. Don't get hit.'
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-28-2020
Yeah, the music isn't going to be easy or done quickly. I'm not liking about half of it.
I've watched the movie with music twice today. Some is good. Some just doesn't seem to work. On the Last Captain when we added the music, it was like a blessing from God. It really amplified what was there. The music for Stro seems to be fighting with the picture instead of enhancing it. Or the emotions of the music are opposite of what the picture is doing.
I'm not going to be ready by Tuesday. I'll send the promoters an email and see if there is another option.
RE: Stro - Greg - 03-29-2020
No, I'm not hiding from sending the pages of notes I have to the composer. You're hiding from sending your notes to the composer.
