The Real Pirate
I met with the students behind ‘The Real Pirate’ on the 26th of March to get a better idea of what they were looking for as well as to discuss establishing a future timeline with them and to gather feedback on my work, meeting some of them for the first time and creating a more collaborative working relationship with the group.
There is a newly updated version of the project which I will embed below, showing marked improvements in terms of the chosen and recorded sound FX as well as some voice acting performances from myself.
We also discussed having them come in to record some of the voice work and they seemed to be receptive to that idea, including performing the VA for the monkey character, further driving the collaborative aspect. Despite some minor notes that essentially came together into pieces that weren’t there visually yet, they enjoyed the version they saw and the work is going ahead as planned. However, the teams submission date for the animation is the 26th of May, meaning the version I submit with my sound design will be incomplete visually, which is rather unfortunate, however I have resolved to finish the sound design afterwards regardless, as it’s something I’m enjoying doing and I want to continue our collaborative relationship in good faith.
I have also started some light scoring as an extra addition to the projects sound.
Film Sound
‘I love you, dad’
My post-production sound editing and recording will begin for ‘I love you, dad’ this coming Tuesday (16.04.24), and I have remained in contact with the films director and sound recordist so I can best prepare my ideas for post-production sound.
‘Questioning’
On this film I have been both the boom operator and sound recordist on various occasions, including during both reshoot sessions and during 2 of the 3 standard shoot days. The crew were great fun to work with and I look forward to a continued positive working relationship with them. I am not sure when the film will be out but I look forward to its release.
