Crew Project, Post 10

Well, this week everything went a little mad... Fable overlooked to remind me of the date of the final sound mix, so I got a phone call one morning telling me to bring everything in in an hour.

... Okay, so overall that whole thing could have been better planned, but I understand things are getting busy for everyone now and nobody is to blame any more.

So I pulled together what I had and took it to them, because simply, when given an hour or two's notice, what else can really be done.

I realise I was missing some stuff from the sound list, and I take an slice of responsibility for that, but I was not solely to blame, Brian never did turn up, I did not get the sound list in time, and the third years did not remind me, nor anyone else I spoke to on the matter, of the deadline either. So with my dissertation proposal looming. I just had to prioritise.
Here's a track of a few of the other, more mundane sounds that I had at the end. [With a picture of a spider winning a fight with a shoe, taken by me, in Arizona... my sandal is still receiving counselling for the incident]

Crew Project, Post 9

Finally got the sound list for Fable, but I still haven't seen Brian... so I have just been told to start working through it an assume I have to do it all. It does seem a little late for this, but I will do everything I can beside my own work to get all the possible sound that I can for them. I do like the concept of this project and would very much love to see it finished, depiste the rather sour way that the director seems to look upon me since the whole firing thing. I don't blame him though, I would probably feel the same way.

Anyhow, here is some nice wind-whistling for you to listen to! Also for fable. And this week you get a stupid picture of Harvey the guinea pig... because why not?

I'm still waiting on The full sound list from Fable... I can neither find nor contact Brian about it, and he apparently has it. I am feeling a little in the dark about the whole thing at this point in time, but there is still time in my eyes, depending of course on how big this list is. I never did get to do any colouring, but I guess they simply never got it organised enough :( It's a shame, because I was hoping to do it. Oh well, maybe another time.

Crew Project, Post 7


Okay, so I'm waiting on any contact from Fable about the colouring still, I'm a bit surprised that they haven't jumped at the chance because of the amount of work they still have to do, but I am quite content to work for the rest of the holiday if they want me to. In the meantime... here is a picture I drew because I was bored.

Crew Project, Post 6

Took a trip to my friends at the Tavistock Fencing Club to record a track of sword noise, it was outside, and is far from a perfect track, but I like the way it turned out, and I hope it comes out as somewhat useable.

Pretty much at the end of term now, if I get some colouring for Fable, I shall post about that over easter.

Here is the track, with a video of the guinea pig who was previously in a shoe, now flatter than before.

Crew Project, Post 5

More progress on the Fable sounds ^_^ At the bottom of the post.

No contact from Sean, he is not answering phone calls either... I am not sure what happenned there but I would love to know.

Apparently I was never actually put on the list to work on the stop-motion project, so my hopes there have been somewhat dashed. But there will be other chances... I'm sure I can find someone to build props for next year instead.

The term is getting near an end now, I'm not sure if this project goes into next term, but I want to colour some scenes for the Fable team over the holidays, I am staying just to work for the third years this holiday. I hope I can be some use to someone ^_^

Rain... to a picture of... a really reeeeaaaaaalllly eerie sunrise I caught a couple days ago.
Warning, this will be a long video XD

Crew Project, Post 4

Okay, so for a few weeks I might have been a bit more focused on my other class projects than the crew assignment, sometimes that is bound to happen as workloads go up and down. I did not expect what happenned as a result of it though, I was told that I was fired in front of the whole Fable group, then promptly un-fired to work with Brian instead of being fired. Despite the public humuliation part of this, I am not upset about it, and actually am rather looking forward to collaborating with someone on the sound. I will continue to work on the foley and he will handle the final sound mix, which is fine by me ^_^
Also I now have a more extended list of sounds to collect for the project.

Still no word from Sean about Jeffrey Chide, and he is not answering my emails, I shall try calling into the studio more to see if I can track him down in person.

Asked Andy about the lack of contact from the stop-motion project, and have been told to go and find Orla to ask about it, so I shall do that.
