Another project with test-object! It's a short animation for NATA called Helio Inc. It's a semi-sweet short about the relationship of the Sun, Moon, and some catty clouds.
No voice acting this time! In a rather unusual turn of events I mixed the audio for the piece, and learned quite a few things:
1) test-object puts a lot of subtle movements on his characters! Without voice work, you really can focus on the little character quirks. It seemed like on every watch, I found a little gesture that I'd missed.
2) Listen back to things on more than one medium and have a good deal of cushion time! I just used my headphones within the project, and skipped that all important check on the exported file because i was running behind! The result: A super quiet track. It In hindsight, I should have used MUCH higher levels and probably would have caught it had I not been so focused on sending ASAP.
3) Vacations are awesome.
