Over the last few days I have been focusing mostly on backgrounds editing. I have gone out to record a few backgrounds in that time too for specific places. Here is a picture of my six channel surround recording rig I used for some of it:
Yesterday there was an opportunity to record some walla at a wedding reception, but I needed to be discreet and non-obtrusive, so I set up an alternative quad surround recording rig in a Tooheys New cooler bag:
I have almost finished the backgrounds now. There are a couple of spots where I’d like to record something a bit better if time allows and opportunity comes up, but I have decent surround backgrounds for most things now.
I have also merged the Foley session into the Master session. Most of it is great. There seems to be a few missing cues which we’ll need to suss out, but overall it is really good.
The plan for today is to:
- finish what I can of the backgrounds;
- conform the master session to a new edit from the picture editor.
