On to the EDIT
So I just realized we didn’t finish talking about our trip out to LA. Well the day after the VO we took all the raw audio into the editing room to composite our final audio take. We blew through this in about 3 hours and turned our rough cut of 11 minutes into our final take clocking in around 5 minutes and 36 seconds.
Now since the actors vocal performances helped better define the characters and some of the actions in my original board weren’t all blocked out and the fact that we wrote new lines the morning of the record we now needed to go back to the drawing board, literally.
Next step, the whole cartoon is re-boarded to the final audio. Meanwhile I’m going back and revisiting some of the character designs as the actors VO performance brought out certain characteristics that should be reflected in the visuals.
Special thanks to Mike Petak, pictured above, who for some reason reminded me a Cajun COSMO KRAMER, who cut our audio like a Samurai!
Bloggingly yours, Manny and Alan
