Week 15 - First Pass Complete. Sound Recorded.

We did the sound recording at the university grounds and in the studio on Wednesday. As I suspected, getting my kids to perform on cue was an impossible task (the old adage about working with kids and animals rings true). We did manage to capture the runs, bench-climbing, jumps and snatches of dialogue needed for Kid after some repeated coaxing. In comparison, Mr. Knox’s vocal recording went so much smoother, with my sound designer’s roommate tackling the role with gusto.

I also managed to complete the first pass of all the shots in my film. Already looking at the edited playblasts I can pinpoint some timing issues and numerous tweaks to be made in the animation. There’s also the task of refining all the facial, hand and cloth animation. Add to that the texturing, rendering and compositing tasks still to be done and I’m wondering if the remaining 4 weeks is going to be enough.

I am so looking forward to hearing the animation with the first draft of sound effects added in!
