I am giddy to report that Zach Passero and I spent yesterday doing an ADR session as part of the new, final push to finalize our long-gestating movie
motel, glimpse. I am happy beyond words at late developments. A good friend of ours, Jim Ward, of the great bands At The Drive-In, Sparta and Sleepercar, has recorded a fantastic score for the movie, as well as having supervised a compelling new take on the soundtrack. Another great & talented friend, Christopher Robleto, has designed a killer-killer sound design landscape for the movie. Way out there. Good-looking, high-flying, fine-loving artist Zeque Pena has created a hot & freaky new DVD package design, some avant garde motel-inspired art. Underneath it all, Zach has edited a new version of the movie that is an evolutionary leap forward in
motel, glimpse time/space narrative.
Following ADR, we now move into the mixing stage of audio post-production. All in all, new life breathed into this thing, and I'm startled and surprised at how close we are coming to fulfilling a vision set forth years ago. This is -- to mine eyes & mind -- a funny, fun, full, weird, rich & thick story
. And I can't wait for you to see what we're bringing home.
Even those of you who've seen it haven't yet seen it. Even I haven't yet seen it. But it was dreamed of long ago, in another lifetime.
More news soon. Glimpses.
Update, 23 December 2008: Mixing now complete. Nigh on unbelievable. Many, many thanks to
Garrard Whatley of Rocketwerks in Santa Monica, CA -- supervising sound editor and sound re-recording mixer. Garrard is a great guy who has come through big time for us on this movie and has in the process become a key element of the movie's experience, on and off screen.
Update, 29 March 2009: The cinema called
motel, glimpse is done and we are taking it for walks, limbering it up. We will show it to you this year!
