STUDIO SESSION - MON 25.02.08

Recording dialogue in Studio 1.

PREPARATION
Over the weekend I ripped the original audio from the Animatrix clip, synced it to our version of the clip, and using automation in Cubase I dipped out the dialogue of the teacher so that Dan can get a better idea of timings for his lines.

PROBLEMS
Found it difficult to get a good level from the dialogue - had the gains right up. Checked that there were no pads switched on on the mic. Managed to cope with it by pushing the faders higher.

ACTING
Spent a lot of time trying to get the lines to sound right and real - had to allow practice time for the voice actors. Got Dan's 'Teacher' lines from the classroom done, and some attempts at the funeral scene, which were easier with the dipped original audio. We will probably attempt the latter lines again in the next session.

PLAN
Next studio session is Wednesday at 10:30. We will be looking to at least finish the dialogue for the Teacher and the Kid.
