In The Works

Going to be doing post production sound for WWJD. I'm obsessively organizing myself for the project: contacts, schedule, budget, calendar, lists. My first screening was Monday night; I saw the third cut of the movie. Picture lock should be happening sometime next week. Meanwhile, I'm carefully planning out the hours I'll most likely spend based on past experiences. Also ran a test OMF conversion, which revealed an odd problem that I hope can be fixed before picture delivery. As always, when I'm ramping up to work, I'm reading my technical books like crazy to see what else I can learn to prepare a smoother workflow.

I also met with the head sound guy at a production company, who may have some freelance production gigs for me next month. As fate would have it, I got a call last night for a live event happening tonight. There will be a filmmaking discussion on stage among five people at a theater in Beverly Hills. Today, I'll be running up to Coffey to pick up the mikes, the mixer, and the cables, to hook into the theater's system. Scary thing is, I've never seen this place, nor will I be permitted to load in until 30 minutes before showtime! Wish me luck.
