The film is completed! Well it is for sound at least. Yesterday the Re-recording Mixer sat with the Director and watched through and did the final tweaks. Just a couple of music level adjustments really at that point, mainly to do with new music cues that got put in to replace other cues yesterday. All … Read more SB Feature Film Post Blog Post 12
