Final Month

I'm back up in the bay area to help out the movie in the home stretch. Cat and I recorded some audio in the field, our first stop was my mother's house. Much to my surprise, she agreed to talk into the microphone in portuguese - we even got my step-dad to record some audio(we're recording random dialog from people of different age groups and who speak different languages, so that we can create a "bed of sound" that is supposed to symbolize the thoughts from all of the people in the world- pretty basic non-pretentious stuff) Right before we left My aunt Olinda and her daughter Jessica stopped by, so we were able to add two more voices to the list.

One of the cool experiences I've had working on this movie is being able to work with my teacher from Ohlone College, Tom. I've always had great respect for him and the fact that he was willing to be a part of my movie is a great honor that I will always treasure. Well we went to Ohlone and got him to record some more audio for the movie, it was fun- and I'm always reminded on the great experience I had at that school every time I come back over there.

That evening I went to San Jose to meet up with Muller and Anderson, they had been working on fake tv audio to play in the background of a few scenes. A beer commercial came out of there session that is nothing short of legendary. I'm going to try to get it up on the website soon.
