bits and pieces

The production of This Too Shall Pass has admittedly come to a halt at the moment. There are some shooting dates coming up, but the time is limited and the crew's availability, and cast, as well. Meanwhile composers and dancers are working on music and choreographies. Certain scenes get a completely new face with some music, I had a sample song by my main composer Berni Law which is melancholic, piano which builds up and become a dramatic almost action-packed angsty explosion, which, when put as backdrop for the cemetery scene, was quite an interesting viewing.

On another note I'm very excited to work with a fellow swedish student from the Screen Academy, who'll be my DoP for the scenes to be shot here. One of our locations is a salt lake outside of Rockingham, which I'm very excited to have discovered.

Meanwhile, here's just a little preview of a scene and how it works out with the new voices for the characters. All dialogue in the film has been replaced with ADR of Australian actors, which is another time-consuming process. On top of that we've had the most mysterious issues with Soundtrack Pro and the computers in the voice-over suites and how they decide to distribute the saved files and the super-sexy robotic tone recorded through the microphones unless recorded in mono.
