This pic shows how Xarfraz’s note with his mission turned into a mini alien computer.

And this pic shows how we have added posters and details to certain scenes.

By the way, these blogs are LOADED with spamers. I had to delete about 20 comments of spam, common Word-press.

[Chandra and I are so close to finishing the animation segments for FSU, all Drug Purse videos have been editted and posted on the internet. Finally I am in the process of assembling my demo reel.]

No more wrist pain! I recommend getting one of these if your drawing tool happens to be your mouse.

Here is a look at some animation from scene 2b. Any thoughts or suggestions about ANYTHING is appreciatted.

I have been using all of my time for FSU. Animating, drawing, soundtracking, voice acting, ALL THINGS happen on many levels everyday for the next 10 weeks. Last quarter was tough, but this quarter is going to be even more intense. More soon.

Airing in April.

So again, things I should have realized 3 months ago are being realized now. HEY EVERYONE, when doing voice work, it’s best to use a condenser microphone! Really, in a lot of ways it’s much better. Condenser microphones are electronic based and have low-noise. With a pop filter for P’s and S’s, you’re pretty much set to go. I checked out all of the music stores in town to see what they had to offer for condenser mics. Each store had their own specialty brands, but the bigger stores had bigger selections. Music 6000, on the eastside, is selling this super cheap Behringer condenser microphone that is strictly USB interface which is very convenient when recording on computer, although no XLR means I couldn’t use it with a Marantz or analog recorder. It was on sale for $60 which is the cheapest condenser mic in town (as far as I know). The man at the front said it was cheap because it’s only USB and is for basic vocals (think podcast) and some musical instruments. Most expensive condenser microphones (upwards of $6000) should be able to record all ranges of instruments and voices with professional quality. The set-up I have now totally works for me and my needs, but in the future I may want to consider getting a more expensive condenser mic. I will be using it for ADR, which includes the new voice for Xarfraz, additional stuff for Doug, Xylonian #1, and extras. I am a little worried that the voice recordings may be too different, and in that case, I will use the same microphone I used to record everyone else’s voices (which was the Shure SM-58 with the Marantz). But I will be using this mic set up for all voice-over work and future projects.
