Sound?

Minus 1's sound designer Douglas Wright has been phoning me all weekend trying to formulate a good atmospheric description of the heroin addiction that engulfs Vicky (I'm still not giving any information on what's going on ;-)) I think he's having some trouble with how much time is required for the length of the sound dimension that's needed. I hope it sorts itself out soon. It's really an issue of getting it to work with the edit and the emotional projection that the actress playing Vicky will be able to pull off.

Over the weekend we've also had CGI animator Ian Thomson send us some of the samples he created to go with the sound design. Fantastic stuff. It just fills me with a great sense of pride to know that I'm doing this and it's going out to the masses finally after years of trying to get myself in a good pace of work. I honestly can't wait to get my stuff out there.

The casting is in a few hours. I'm sat here watching Terry Gilliam's Twelve Monkeys and really trying to figure out from the faces of the actresses and actors if there's going to be someone that's going to fit the bill. Honestly speaking it sometimes appears in their faces, but I know I shouldn't judge by the faces because acting talent is never going to be projected in a simple promo headshot. Ah well, it's just me ranting in the middle of the night. So I'm gonna sign off and keep my head clear for the afternoon's casting auditions and hopefully all will go well.
