I made some good progress on "The Barrier" this week.
Mostly I added sound effects to the sound track. I've added ambient sound to
about half the movie now. I added some specific sounds, such as foot steps.
That isn't easy to do, but fortunately most of sets look like they have carpet,
so I can get away with out the footsteps most of the time.
In scenes where people talk on the
phone, I processed the dialogue to sound like it came over the phone. I did a
little research on-line to find out how to do that. It wasn't as complicated as
I thought.
I tightened up some of the scenes.
Usually it was just cutting out some pauses in the dialogue. I did some
dialogue overlap in a couple places to make it seem that characters were
interrupting each other.
In one place a character says
"that looks impressive" while she watches a simulation of a
microsimulation model on a computer scene. Unfortunately, the animation I
produced wasn't very impressive, so I cut out that line.
Some of dialogue is a little hard
to understand. There isn't much I can do about that because it has to do with
the artificial voices, which I no longer have access to. One thought I had was
to add captions to the movie. That will be a lot of work though.
