Teapot

This was the scene from our next to last mixing session for Teapot. There were about four audio sessions we had in post and although I actually can’t remember exactly what happened at this one, I’m pretty sure this session was all about sound effects. For example, how big should the fart be and how juicy!

Our SFX guru created layers of sound for just about every action on the screen. We could then drop off layers if the sound was too much or experiment with adding new sounds. What you can’t do at this stage is add any new music tracks. The music by this point is set. That’s why it’s better to compose too much music than too little since you can’t go back and add more. BTW, that’s advice from Larry Huber so I can’t take the credit for it.

In the final mixing session we made sure that the music and effects
worked together in harmony. In this picture you can see the serious
expressions on the faces of Larry Huber and Greg Eagles who made sure every crash, whistle and belch rang true. Greg has a finely tuned ear for music and made sure the beats were right on.

Naturally I was here too wearing my yellow Smorgasbord Productions hat but I was taking the pictures so you don’t see me. But I got my two cents in as well. But everyone did a great job so there wasn’t much to do on our part.

L8R,
Dahveed!
