Music, and all that Jazz

It’s been a long time since I last updated. Almost 2 months! That’s mainly been because of… erm. I just haven’t updated, okay?

Thanks to the wonderful gift-giving season known as Christmas, I now own Logic Express a brilliantly brilliant music-making program thing. It’s brilliant and I’ve been spending the past 6 days scoring the entire film. I started on Christmas day (not much else do other than laugh at the shit-ness of the Doctor Who special (and eat)) and have been working pretty solidly on churning out the music since. It’s done now, apart from the music for a chase sequence, as I’ve found action music is annoying hard to do. There’s a little bit a final mixing to do, and some of the tracks aren’t quite timed right yet so there’s at least another weeks work fiddling about to get it perfect. Only problem is I don’t have another week – on Monday it’s back to school already and I have an exam coming up.

So to those not already in the know the release date isn’t 10/01/10 anymore, it’ll be more like late February.

In terms of other work on the film since the last update, I’ve refined the edit (which is pretty much perfect now!) and stressed and strained over the colour correction (which isn’t pretty much perfect yet!) I’m basically at that stage where lots of little annoying things have to come together to finally blend into the finished film.

Possibly at the end of this week or maybe next weekend Matt and Nathan will be coming over to dub some lines for me (and if they’re reading this and didn’t know, well, hint hint keep your diaries free) and Craig Holroyd will also be joining us to help create a track for the end credits. Exciting!

I’ll try and update more as the shit goes down in future, without another long gap. Bye!
