Unfortunately, what I didn't discover until last night was that ... http://sokodei.com/2008/08/04/mixin-croppin/ I'm finally getting back to polishing Song. The biggest headache has to do with the audio mixing where I'm adding or removing footage. Since the audio mixing was applied as keyframes on the entire audio track, any change to the length of footage requires the keyframes to moved as well, which sadly does ... http://sokodei.com/2008/07/29/the-edit-remains-mostly-the-same/ King of Fighters 69 Teaser Trailer I finally got back around to editing! Judy's been bugging me for forever to make a dub so I figure if I start editing stuff, maybe I'll get back in the mood to actually crank something out. Anyhow, this is actually an old trailer reborn. ... http://sokodei.com/2008/05/28/back-to-the-cutting-floor/ Song's screenings at Fanime this past weekend went well, better than I thought, actually. But then, I always fear the worst. "It is what it is" was a phrase that kept popping up in my head while I was making this. It's based on an "old" anime and all rendered in ... http://sokodei.com/2008/05/27/done-but-not-sokodei-done/ Yesterday, I met with my translator for this project to go over lingering questions I had about some of the dialogue. Part of it was trying to make some of the lines flow better as conversation and part of it was exploring whether certain lines could have a different meaning. It ... http://sokodei.com/2008/05/04/phase-contrast-space/ 82 minutes, 26 seconds. Good golly, nearly went insane from the monotony of cutting the last few fight sequences (Continuity!), but I'm satisfied I did the best I could with footage that really wasn't meant to be chopped up like this. The final runtime will probably be a tad shorter as there's one scene and ... http://sokodei.com/2008/04/27/first-edit-complete/ Saturday, May 24th, 2008, noonish. http://sokodei.com/2008/04/13/premiere-set/ Though I'm still editing, I thought I'd post the list of Bebop tunes I'll be using in Song which, if you have the soundtracks, might give you an idea of the story's tone. I'm about 90% certain this list is final. I suppose you could view the soundtrack page as an ... http://sokodei.com/2008/04/09/soundtrack/
