Dancing into December
I honestly can’t believe it’s November!! Oh, wait. DECEMBER??!!!
I mean, really, where has the time gone? “The Dead Can’t Dance” has literally consumed a year of my life at this point, actually more (if you count writing the script, which I do). I knew production would make the time go by fast, but this is ridiculous!
I’m still chipping away at the rough cut. I got all the radio announcer parts laid in last night, and I love it! We did some callbacks casting before we finally settled on our friend Michael “Archie” Archibold, and it was a perfect choice. He has a great radio voice and great snarkiness to his delivery. They are really some very funny parts.
I need to get a couple of voiceovers from TJ, but that might have to wait until early next week, as he just had surgery today to remove a hernia (thank goodness - I mean to provide him some relief). And I need to do some foley work to fix some audio gaps on a zombie attack.
And one big hurdle left is finding some powwow music I can use. We thought we had something all set up, but now that fell through. I may just have to use something temporarily then add in something else later to make our deadline next week.
Other than that, it’s all pretty much there. Tightened up some stuff, and even with adding the radio bits, we’re still clocking in at about 1:45. Not bad. I do want to tighten it up just a bit more, though, and once we get the powwow music sequences in, that will add probably another 3 or 4 minutes, plus end credits.
Now I’m rethinking the title sequence just a little. I want to try a radically different approach than what I have now just to try it. I don’t think I’ll like it, but I just want to try it.
But we’re getting closer, peeps. Something else I can’t believe!
Have a great December,
-r.
