Bad news: At this point, Ady is very busy/falling behind on his own "Revisited" project because he was spending so much time doing audio for SOTDS. So he will not be able to work on this anymore (at least not for the time being).
That's where we are right now. I've told you everything I know, ha ha. I'd love for you all to see this movie, but I'm not going to release it without a very convincing audio mix because if the audio is bad, the movie will not be taken seriously.
The main thing here is dialogue mixing. I know it can be done, I saw a couple Adywan test clips... it can be done. I'm just running out of time in "the real world". However, I have pretty much all of the elements ready to be worked on.
My question is this... is there anyone out there fairly experienced with audio mixing and someone that has all the plugins that would be neccessary to do something like this. Would you be willing to finish this audio for me? Like the original release of the OT, the final audio should be in (possibly matrixed) stereo, not necessarily 5.1 surround.
Obviously it'll take a fair amount of work, but the upside is that you get to be the second person to actually see SOTDS, since you will be working on it. It'd also be really nice to have another set of fresh ears listening to this.
If there's anyone that might be able to help (and doesn't have anything else on their plate), please just drop me a PM that you might be interested and we can discuss it. If it works out, I will probably send you links to...
A. A low-quality video clip of the section being worked on (there are 20 sections)
B. An "Anakin only" audio track
C. A second track, usually containing production audio
D. A track containing the new music used
E. "Everything else"
Depending on the clip, I might send you more audio tracks to give you more control over individual elements. Adywan and I worked out this system where the mixer has enough control over the audio to mix it without me having to send thousands and thousands of files.
Anyway, you would import all of this into a program like Vegas, you'd synch up the 4 or 5 audio tracks to the video file, and you'd be set to go. You'd send me a test clip, I might have a suggestion or two, and then you would render out an uncompressed stereo WAV which I would then synch to the actual MPEG.
And then we'd do the same for another section. And another section. Some sections (like section 10, the fist fight) I have already completed and will not need help on, so it's actually not 20 sections, more like 15.
And if you only have time to do a few sections, that's fine too, I'll take all the help I can get. Hopefully I will be able to get the audio completed in this way so that I can finally be done with this monster of a project.
Thanks
