After a long 20 hour trip, I'm back in Perth. Have had a good night sleep to try to readjust to the timezone as soon as I can, but we'll see how I go. Meanwhile, Kyle has been working studiously on the colour grade, in collaboration with Dev. Still images are being sent through to me for comments and it is all looking really nice. I will be great to finally see high resolution images of the film, as we've been working with the low resolution images for so long.
Kyle has also been working with the opening title and the credits, so I am looking forward to seeing them this morning..

Sound Dubb completed
Sound mix is finished! Sounds F#*kin amazing. David has done a fantastic job!
Dustin, Peta, Krisztian, with our friends Aaron, Brian and Kai, came in to the mix theatre for a quick viewing and to give notes. The feedback was that they really enjoyed the film and there was only a handful of notes, which we have acted on and some worked, some didn't.
This dubb has been a great learning experience and so beneficial for the film! I'm a little tired now, but very happy and I head to the airport in an hour to get on a plane for home.

We're working hard
Game On!
We're in the final dubb and yes, I should be listening, but I'm letting you all know how we're going. Currently mixing background tracks and dialogue for each scene and making adjustments as we go along.
Geoff has just informed that he is uploading the final score, which is great. However, that means he has been working very late or is up very early in Sydney, because it is about 5.30am there.
Things are going well and it is sounding fantastic!

Getting close
It's all coming down to the wire, we start the mix on the dubb stage at 8am tomorrow. Michael has been frantically managing all our requirements from the Perth end and Geoff has been busily putting the finishing touches to the score. The trail of communications is long and I'm probably going to be hit with a very large phone bill when I get home.
Note to self: ensure your comms are effective and cheap, when you next visit LA.
David and I played the reels today to see how the music and effects were sitting. It all worked really well and we have room to move and make adjustments in the mix. Geoff's doing a fantastic job with the score.

Update
We recorded ADR yesterday morning with Dustin, the session went really well and I learnt a little more about the process. Dusto did a great job and it was good to finally catch up with him, over here. David and I then went to 'the Valley' to deliver the dialogue files to Jim Fitzpatrick who is doing the dialogue edit. Jim's a lovely guy and has a credit list as long as my arm span.
We then went to Warner Brothers and finally caught up with Katy. She took us through the WB studio lot and through a number of the Sound mixing rooms, one was mixing 'Cats and Dogs II'... I know, I know...you might say what a crock, but hearing the mix at 85db was impressive on the mix stage.
Geoff has be uploading the music cues and I managed to listen to them today. Lesson to self: Next time make sure I have a laptop! Communications have been difficult, but we're getting there. Anyway, he has delivered the 2nd last cue, the 3rd cue and is working on all of them simultaneously.
We listened to the effects today, which were supplied by Bob Arons, they were so good and I only gave about 3 notes. They will however, impact on the music score, so Geoff and I had a good chat this afternoon on iChat.
This evening I went out to Blur Studios to catch up with Jan, who was the Vfx guru on Iron Bird. He is doing really well, now works super quick and is an expert with al the software they use. It was really good to see him as I hadn't since the end of Iron Bird.
Then David, Katy and I went to this great Korean BBQ which was fantastic!

Music update
Just got off iChat after a long discussion about the score with Geoff. So far I have heard 3 music cues and it is all sounding really great, I had a couple suggestions about the cues and we talked about the ones he is working on, as well as the end song. He is putting in some big hours to meet the deadline and it is really appreciated.
Looking forward to recording Dustin's ADR tomorrow morning, then David and I have to deliver some sound files to someone in the valley, then we'll be going to Warner Brothers Studios. Katy Wood, who is an AFTRS friend of mine, is working as a Dialogue Editor there on Clint Eastwood's latest film. She invited me up to view the facility.
So it's getting very busy on the Kanowna front, both in Australia and in LA.
