Sprint 4 -- Fin

    The production has all but closed and we have our final product. Working out the last of the technical issues in live compositing consumed a large portion of the last sprint but this sprint has yielded us as close to a finished product as we can get given our experience.

    This time around a large portion of focus was getting sounds recorded and getting our footage compiled.

    First I took to recording our victim and our monster. I tried to avoid over editing the monster sounds which came out as good as it could have given my limited experience in sound design. The monster was surprisingly easy. A few takes to find the right pitch, but fairly easy. The human sounds was way more difficult. It became a matter of matching up with the video. After spending around an hour and a half I settled on a recording that was as close as I could get.

    So following the arduous recording process I sought sounds on Freesound.com for the helicopter and thunder. From there I made the edits in Premier Pro.

    Getting the sounds to align with the video took some time. I played with some of the filters and effects in Premier, but felt that it made the whole production feel far too cheesy: far more than it already was. I wasn't overall satisfied with the final product, but given the limitations was content. I recognize the amount of work that it takes to make virtual production look good. Overall I feel as though I learned a lot from this and look forward to trying my hand at more within the field.
