PeteForester85's RECommendations
If you download it to view, you can blow it up so that you can read the tracks. I've also included a hi res version where you can see things even more clearly.
Where you see regions appearing in gray, that means they are muted. Regions that appear like straight, thin horizontal lines are MIDI parts, triggering various software synths.
=============================
hitRECord's Nebulullaby was born at Sundance 2010; But it's still growing. I've put the stems in an album for everyone to play with, and some people have already. This past summer, Joe and I got together to RECord drums on it. And now, in preparation for the forthcoming DVD and CD releases, I've just had a final look at the mix, making a few adjustments.
I watch meters bouncing all day...So, it's nothing particularly novel to me. But every now and again, when I'm really focused in working on something, I start to feel an almost personal relationship with the peaks and valleys and zigs and zags going by on the monitor; They quantify what's being heard, and that's useful. But they sometimes just look really pretty, too. And I just had a moment, thinking "Duh...I'll bet someone on hitRECord will find a novel way to do something with these". So I made two quicktimes: This one, the timeline from the Protools session: All the tracks rolling by in real time. And also, the real time frequency spectrum analysis, stereo meters, and voice compressor.

BURNING dAN brightly embodied that bold beastly bliss sometimes referred to as "the creative spirit." He was my chief collaborator on the foundational incarnations of hitRECord.org over the years and continues to inspire us ever the more. He would absolutely positively insist that we not let this bad news deter us on our collective mission. That said, I might not feel up to it for a little while. Watching this community blossom into what it has become never ceased to amaze him and me. We would regularly marvel at it and high five. Thank you all for that. There he is now pouring heaping hollowed watermelons full of love over each and every one of us. Let's celebrate him, he's fucking awesome: http://www.hitrecord.org/records/234697 See you real soon, thanks again... <3 |

The lovely Pete Forester & I have been working on this together. He made the beautiful watercolours & hand videos. I had a go slotting them together into a dream sequence. Then we sent the file back and forth to each other for critiquing & fixin' up. It's a different way to how I usually work - it was a challenge, but I absolutely loved it. Thank you for collaborating with me, Mr Pete!
I know that everyone was absolutely ecstatic today when Lawrie unleashed a work-in-progress "visual cut" of the new adventures of Triple M. Soon after I embarked on this trailer, and I tried to make it as close to a theatrical teaser as possible.
This was a tougher task than I expected because the dialogue is almost completely in the narration, so cutting away to conversations is nearly impossible. The sound effects aren't in place really, so I had to mostly rely on Nathan's score (also in the work-in-progress stages.)
I had to do a fair share of rearranging the musical score, making each of the themes fit together and also fit the narrative structure of the trailer (re-introduce Morgan and Destiny, introduce Lionel, and then make a suspenseful montage of the plot and action.)
This is for you, Lawrie.
Might be useful if there was ever a "Extras" DVD or something with alternate endings and extra takes of hitRECord.org
(More resources coming)
It's certainly a much more ambitious story to tell than the first installment of Morgan M. Morgansen. So this version is less complete than the "white walls" version of that last episode. We got a lot of work ahead of us with this one!
Time to get to work on the visuals. Lawrie Brewster, this one has a hell of a lot more settings than the last one. I'm hoping the hitRECord contingent of graphic artists can rally round and pull together on this one.
I want to do another pass on the voice over. There's the characters' gibberish to add, sound effects. And of course, music!
This is the closest I could come to a file that would fit within our video player's 500MB limit. But I'm gonna upload another higher-res file as well for those of you (and there better be a lot!) who want to download it and start adding to it.
