Well i've quit smoking. I'm using the nicotine patches but it been hell so far. 24 hours without a ciggy. problem now is that giving up smoking has made doing this edit 1000 times more stressful. lol. i usually have a cig when i'm waiting for a hot to render or while previewing the finished shot and while i have a break. thats been the hardest part so far. Thing is now though i will be spending more money on the patches than i would on my tobacco. My local health authority won't supply me with anything to help me quit smoking apart from a bloody leaflet & support website which are a total waste of time.

so back to the edit.....

i'm having a couple of days break from the video side of things and i have decided to get more work done on the audio now that i have most of the movie finished. I've replaced the line " damn it Biggs where are you?" with the line " damn it Wedge, where are you?" from the monomix. This line always seemed more fitting to me because its Wedge thats coming to help him and not Biggs. Also all of Berus lines have been replaced with the monomix lines. the original actress just sounds more natural to me. The line that Luke says in the Death Star battle, "I'm on it" seems very high pitched and almost pre-pubescent and not like Mark at all. i've lowered the pitch slightly and now his voice sounds like Mark. I have to say a big thanks to Belbucus & Moth3r for the great work on the restored monomix.

a while ago someone offered to post the 5.1 SE laserdisc audio track for me but at the time i didn't think i needed it, but now i realise that it would be of great help to my new mix ( very handy to have as many sources as possible). I can't remember who it was because i deleted my PM's but if anyone can help me out with this audio track then i would be very grateful.
