Cosplay Thoughts And Re-Edits

Hi there little bots, hope you all are having a good Monday.  Good news, this past week I did put out a Friday blog, the bad I might not do one this week...oops.  As far as my past week has been, it was busy and much has been accomplished.

  Monday I received my revision edits from Team Awesome, spent a good portion of the week tweaking air sound sound and now my eyes twitch every time i hear white noise.  The good news is I got to work on mixing, I know it is not perfect but once the dialog is completed and in the hands of the mixer all my sound effects will blend harmoniously.    Fingers crossed that they like me enough to keep me on for future projects.

  Aside from fixing audio, I have been planing out my cosplay for RTX.  I believe I mentioned that I was going to do drunken Burnie from Rooster Teeth as catbug.  I've found the perfect dress but it is ivory so i will be experimenting on dyeing fabric and praying it turns out ok.  All I need to do is dye a dress, cut a wig, paint ears, bead the top of the dress, make wings that I can transport from Seattle to Austin in a carry on bag, and finally make a harness rig for the wings.  Found a design that will work so it doesn't look like I'm wearing a back pack with a dress.  I found a beautiful design that I am going to mimic from a etsy designer.  The store is called Atelier Sylphe Corsetry
 and this is the design:

 

I think it will look marvelous.

  This past weekend my man and I went out to breakfast and dinner at Local 360.  As always the food there is good.  We also ran errands and become slobs.  As usual, our Sunday night routine is to watch Game of Thrones, and of course nothing really happens until the last 15 minutes of the show.  But I am so glad they are showing more of the White Walkers, I cant wait for winter to finally come!

This week I have a eye doctor appointment and I plan on spending some time with my mom this week.  Also a head up to anyone living in or around Seattle, go see my short film playing at STIFF next Tuesday.  Buy tickets here: Short Doc Block.

Humming Air Conditioners And Working

            Last week I mentioned that I had another Skype meting with the composer for last Monday. If you recalled I mentioned that I had my doubts that he would show up for our meeting. Low and be hold I was correct. Never showed up and didn’t email me until well after our meeting. According to him his girlfriend was being released from the hospital that day and he wanted to be there for her; which is fine but when someone is being released fro the hospital they and the person who is picking them up has at least a 12 hour notice. If you knew she was being released that day then why not send an email before the meeting to explain your situation. Needless to say I have no future plans on working with this composer in the near future. I understand situations come up, but to not send at least an email prior to a meeting twice is unacceptable.

          The rest of the week has been peachy. Working on the background/ambient sounds for Team Awesome, trying to make a closed off meeting room sound compelling without it sounding like an air conditioner rattling away. Had to take a break from it this week so I can complete the Foley for this short then if I have time to go back to the BG's to tweak it some more.

          This weekend I took a little break and went outside to enjoy the sun and grab some ginger beer at Pikes Market. It's kinda nice just to relax and do nothing for a weekend. Oh and I started to replay the first Walking Dead game from Telltail games. Just seeing the different options that I didn’t make the first time around. I also need to play The Wolf Among Us at some point as well.

          This week I plan on finishing the Foley for Team Awesome. I also have to have dinner with my man's mom. We haven’t spoken to each other since we blew up at one another on Facebook two years ago. In my defense I was defending my man from false accusations made by his older sister. So this dinner will be interesting, stay tuned to see if I live threw it.
