[11/05/2022 - 12/05/2022] Finishing Sound Design - For Crimes Forgotten

After a short rest I got back into the edit suite to improve the sound design of the film, both based on things that I was already planning to change as well as on improvements suggested in the crit.

I began by adding prisoner sounds earlier in scene one so that it was more clear that all three characters are within the same location. The Prisoner is further away from the action at the beginning of the film and so in order to convey that within the sound design I set up a an aux track to run some effects through to show this distance. Specifically I processed these sounds with EQ, Volume Automation, a little reverb as a treat.

I also added a slower ticking to Glenshee sections. I chose to use a slower ticking here to show the difference in the way that time moves within this world, it does not behave as it would on earth, or at least it is more obviously subjective. I was inspired by the way that time appears to be quicker the older we are based on the way we understand the passage of time in relation to itself. The more time you have experienced, the quicker it seems to move (due to its relative proportion to your life). I then treated this tick with the same style of volume automation that I used for the ticking in the first scene.

After listening to the film again I noticed that there were still a few bird noises that had somehow slipped through. How were there still birds?! I felt like I was losing it a little but I am now certain that none have escaped my wrath.

I then began working back into the dialogue. Learning how to use the different  DeNoiser plug-ins that we have access to in screen academy. This was useful as different DeNoiser’s are better for different things. Petros gave me a quick rundown of how they work and I am now confident in using them on dialogue, which will definitely be useful in the future! These plugins also effect whole tracks so I had to do a bit of rearranging based on which microphones I had used for the different sections of dialogue so that i could adjust the settings to work for each slightly different unwanted noise.

Once I had everything in the timeline in the correct places and all at the correct volume in relation to each other, I began the final mix. I put everything through routing folders until my session was like spaghetti junction of routing folders, aux tracks, and internal busses. This caused me some problems but this was mainly in the form of accidentally routing things through the wrong internal busses, but eventually I got there.

[See above for an accurate representation of me trying to work out where my routing had gone wrong]

I then went through and actually did the mixing of all the different sections so that the dialogue is clear, and everything complements each other rather than being a cacophony of different noises and instead one coherent piece of sound design. Bounced the file, tweaked the mix again, and sent it to be put back together with the rest of the film like a happy audio-visual family :)

CITY OF BLANK - IT DESERVES BETTER.

So it was implied recently by 66 (creator of City of Blank on Webtoons) on reddit that Webtoons had screwed over their recent return from a brief hiatus (one that they had arranged as they were moving and needed the time to focus on IRL stuff without deadlines looming over them, very valid). But it was confirmed in the episode description of their newest FP release:

So Webtoons has screwed over another creator in the advertising department. I don't want to point fingers, but we all know which series are constantly being prioritized in the banner reels while others are left buried to fend for themselves cough cough

Anyways, City of Blank is a webtoon that's been around for a loooong time. As in, Webtoons isn't even the first platform it's been hosted on, but this is the furthest it's come thanks to the Originals deal it got to be hosted exclusively on Webtoons. It's currently on its final season and while it got some brief amount of ad space at the premiere of its season, it since hasn't been given much ad space and even worst of all, not a single spot in the banner reel rotation since returning from its hiatus despite Webtoons promising 66 they would.

So now, unsurprisingly, City of Blank is struggling to be seen and read. It's a genuinely wonderful series with amazing thought-out writing (again this is a series that's been around for a while so you can tell the creator has put a lot of effort into refining the plot, which is a rarity on the platform these days) and the art is gorgeous and consistent, quite literally anime-quality.

Please, consider checking out City of Blank if you're looking for something new to read. It's a sci-fi series with loads of action, comedy, and character-driven subplots that delve into deeper topics like discrimination and social justice movements through a fantasy lens. If there's any series on the platform that's long overdue for recognition, attention, and opportunities for cool shit like printed books and TV adaptions, it's City of Blank.

#comic recommendation #webtoon recommendation #webtoon critical #fr fuck webtoons for doing this to their creators #there's literally zero reason for them to have comics like LO in the banner reels every week #WT never learned not to put all your eggs in one basket #let's take those eggs and throw 'em right back by reading the series they don't want to pay attention to

I will never understand some dog trainers aversion to just not allowing a dog that guards resources from other dogs to interact with other dogs when having that resource. it's just so simple. or like. just closing a gate or door.

#dogblr #dog training #dog behavior #'my dog resource guards her food from my other dog' #GOTTA KEEP EM SEPARATED #'my dog resource guards toys!' #allow your dog to have their toys in an area where they can't be bothered #even the 'my dog eats cat poop!' #don't allow your dog access to cat poop then. #like. it's easy. so easy. #let's see how you like it when i put my hand all over YOUR dinner #yeah that's what i thought #sorry tik tok/reels dog trainers have got me LIVID today

[sinopse-s]

Eu não quero desistir de nós dois. Mas não sei mais o que posso fazer, pra falar a verdade, não sei ao menos se posso dizer “nós”. Só espero que saiba que nem por um segundo eu quis que você fosse embora, e que você foi a coisa mais linda que já senti, foi o meu amor mais bonito. E ainda é.

its 2am im posting the friend i made for Derry since they looked lonely. they're partners in crime except not bc Derry is too sleepy to participate past the idea stage

jesterly is not their real name 💅 their pronouns are whatever is funniest in the moment 💅 also i would punch them in the face if given the chance and they would deserve it

#drawing them together is solidifying the fact that i cant draw consistent character size/height differences #holy SHIT they are all over the place the lot of em #also i resent jesterly on principle now #bc it took my like. two hours of constant recoloring to get to a somewhat decent look #i wanted to make their color scheme a little unsettling AND NOW THEYRE BRIGHT FUCKING PINK AND RAINBOW- #jesterly i am in your house with a shotgun #they were gonna have like... dark maroon felt w/ violent orange cheeks #and an equally sinister outfit #LOOK AT THEM. THEYRE A WALKING BANANA CREAM PIE. FUCK. #scribble salad #welcome home oc #why is it that whenever i create two characters meant to be partners (platonic or otherwise) #they immediately start becoming a little fucked up #whats up with that. huh. why do they always get Violent #jesterly has existed for all of three hours #and i already need to keep them on a tight fucking leash #my brain: oh and they love pranks! fun! but sometimes they take it too far and whoops arson & blood is happening but theyre still laughing- #NO!! take it back a notch bitch!!! reel it in!!!! #originally jesterly was gonna be like... a park ranger or forest-dwelling type character or something #but. i really love jesters #people always talk about 'oh prince/princess/royalty & dragon' #or 'oh knight & dragon' #name a more iconic duo than jester & dragon. motherfucker. ill wait. YOU CANT. #and now jesterly exists and i dont like them. but also im attached #theyre in my brain now and they wont leave #as a visual: im trying to sleep and theyre blasting caramelldansen in the same room #sadistic little bastard.

also i've been thinking bc i've been struggling to read warhammer books recently but it might just be because i literally only read horus heresy bc i don't have nearly the same problem with necron books so i might just start reading books *actually set in 40k(!!!)* like some kind of warhammer fan... this is partially a recommendations-asking-post and partially me just letting you know not to call the fire brigade if i start posting about ciaphas cain one of these days

#don't worry about putting gaunts ghosts in the replies ik it's good i've already written em down #what i'm asking for is your weird obscure recs of random warhammer books that left you reeling #gimme any novella that left you with more questions than answers. i want rollercoaster rides and tomes that piss people off #& i want above all bad books with strange lore explained badly #also i AM going to read the rest of the fabius bile books eventually I promise #it's only october I wanna see if I can double my book reading goal this year

[06/05/2022] Work In Progress Crit - For Crimes Forgotten

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the crit due to a migraine. Likely caused by a mixture of burnout and long days looking at screens in the edit suite. But I was glad to hear that my hard work paid off and that people liked the sound design that had been done so far!

I had a chat with Maddy after the crit and she passed on some information about the things that were brought up in the crit. Specifically that the mix needed looking at again, and that the sounds of The Prisoner needed to be heard sooner in section one, even whilst he was not visible on screen. 

This all made perfect sense and in many ways I was annoyed that I hadn’t thought about that whilst I was editing. I suppose I just couldn't see the wood for the trees. There will probably be some other things I notice once I get back into the edit suite too, but I am to have a couple of days out of my little Pro Tools room so that when I get back to it I am listening to it with fresh ears.

Guys hear me out

A Post-Tangle Tower Story where Grimoire and Sally invite Fifi, Poppy, and Fitz to go see the world and solve cases with them or just stay at wherever they live for a time so they can have a vacation away from TT and process everything that happened while allowing them personal growth

I'm not sure what the age difference is between the duo and trio, but just consider Sally and Grimoire being like older siblings to these 3 young adults who have so much to unpack in response Freya's death

#detective grimoire #tangle tower #it can be a cute domestic kind of situation #where grimoire and sally take the trio out on daily trips to wherever #and let em be young adults not bound by family affairs #or imagine the scooby doo type shenanigans that transpire #when grimoire and sally take on a case and the trio tag along cause why not #fifi and grimoire compete to see who can solve the crime the fastest #poppy and sally make snappy quips about everything they see #fitz acts as a deterrent against nosey onlookers cause of his vibes #but I'd also imagine since freyas death he's probably unternally concerned about the wellbeing of his family #and thus is more cautious and likely to reel back the other 4 before they do something stupid #do you guys see my vision

[chiropteracupola]

shh! don't bother him, he's pondering something very important!

#em draws stuff #team fortress 2 #medic tf2 #Reel Thorts With Medic: Homosexualities? #not entirely satisfied with the bloodsplatter thought bubble but it was a fun enough idea #medic fun to draw. sillyfunny type of guy! #the sort that's always off to some trouble in his great big boots!

[freaky-flawless]

Really wish Mattel would slow down on the releases. Frankenstein and his Bride just came out a matter of days ago, and now Holiday Draculaura is out. On top of all the G3 releases we just got, and are expecting to get, it's a lot.

#monster high #mattel #monster high dolls #let us breathe people! #i know holiday drac isnt a skullector doll but i just know she's gonna sell out just as fast as the reel drama dolls #if not faster #this is one aspect of being a collector i dont enjoy... #buying dolls second hand is one thing but feeling this pressure to keep up with doll releases is too much #at least with bratz the dolls are limited releases #all of the collector dolls they've released are still available so i can buy them at my own pace #but with mh if you dont have the money the minute these guys drop you're shit outta luck #hell even if you do have the money bots and scalpers snatch em up #well this turned into a vent #its okay tho i start my new job next week #bought myself a bratz doll as a prize

small (maybe big??) pet peeve of mine is when someone complains about how the lightsaber fights in the sequels are LeSs ExCiTiNg than the prequels?? i'm sorry , but isn't that the whole point?? the prequel and original trilogies revolve around how so many years of jedi training / academia are just .... wiped from the face of the galaxy like they never existed. kylo ren doesn't have the same level of lightsaber / combat skills as anakin, ahsoka, obi-wan, qui-gon, etc. because the extent of his training was pretty much just . . . whatever knowledge from the past luke (or snoke or ren ig) could exhume. and even luke never underwent the level of training that the jedi in the prequels did!!!! not to mention rey, who has literally never wielded a saber before in her life. OF COURSE the fights are less exciting . it's literally the blind leading the blind LMAO
