Pitch Project: Editing, recording and more editing

I booked the radio studio and we have recorded the new version of the script. It was a little annoying as Dennis blundered in with all the delicacy of a wildebeest to find out of we have the studio booked (er.. yes, that’s why we’re in here recording). This threw Ben for a few moments, but he soon got back into character and we continued with the recording. It is very odd listening to the session because occasionally Ben slips out of character and the voice changes from Professor Piddle back to Ben Dennett.

I went through the script and broke it down into individual lines. I then went through the recording and did the same. For each line of script (there are 35 in total) I have got between 1 and 5 versions. My current task is to cut them back together, making sure they flow and that the sound levels are all the same. I am finding that there are some lines that just don’t work and so I am starting to cut a few of them out. I have to get this finished so that Will can finish the storyboard for the final cut of the script. I then need to put the animatic together. I have offered to take this on as I don’t really feel I’ve done enough for this project so far, but as far as the rest of the bible goes, I think we are a long way behind and I sense that Will may be starting to panic. I feel a lot like I’m letting him down by leaving him with so much work and the fact that everything seems quite last minute. I’ve always struggled with managing my workload and just at the moment I’m not sure I’m doing a great job.
