I think some deleted scenes featurettes will be in order.
I just remembered, one of my takes, my buddy and I started laughing immediately after I'd delivered a line. Although, I cam't remember if I'd included it in the footage I ended up sending or not. Would make for a nice outtake/blooper.
Nothing was dropped due to poor performances. Looking at the rough cut vs. Teague's shortened versions you can see the sort of issue we ran into; the script was a tad ... over written.
We had to make the decision between putting in everyone's great takes and deliveries, or putting together a cut which flowed better and didn't drag as much. The tighter cut was made to leave us with something that's more watchable.
There were so many great performances which didn't fit with the flow, and it was a little heartbreaking to leave so much out. I'll put some of it together so everyone can enjoy it.

On the subject of VFX/film tutorials.
Teague. How do you go about dealing with incorporating shot footage that has audio you need to polish later in to a larger afx comp?
To use the example of what I'm working on atm that spurred this, I'm doing recreating the Twilight Zone intro and I'm going to be transitioning directly into our Rod Serling "Submitted for your approval" speech. So I have it all in one afx comp so that way I can do the transition directly. But I'm going to need to take the audio for the speech and clean it up later on, but I don't think exporting the audio out of afx from the edited version would be the best option. So how do I keep it lined up/line it up in the final edit with the clean audio?

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm used to writing and editing prose, and I fully understand that anything that doesn't make the whole stronger has to go, no matter how much you like any given snippet by itself.

Welcome to my life. I often say my job is "Performance Genocide."

Related - Editing is kinda fun. With practice, it could be something I enjoyed a lot more. M
Kinda like roto, surprisingly.
So, here's where I started going with this, score wise, but now I'm not so sure. Thoughts?
I dunno. I guess it depends on the tone you're going for. The adventurous music in that rough cut had a major (positive!) impact on the comedy. I really like this tune, though.

It's a little discordant and distracting, would something without vocalisation work better? Puts me in mind of the Seinfeld intro.
Yeah, I do prefer the more adventurous feel myself. I think this could work someplace else though, the McDonalds or poem scenes maybe?
Yeah, I feel like it being all vocals is distracting, plus the tone isn't... what I was hopin' for. I have a bad case of temp love.
Honestly, if nobody objects, I vote putting the temp score back in and not tellin' anybody. :-P
I tried it with piano-only, and it's kind of a similar thing. It being one instrument (or a couple instruments) for so long gets really one-note and kind of irritating.
Augh this is what I get for joining the forums so late. I'll have to take a read through this at some point.
I'm cool with this music. I also liked the adventurous music, too but the mix was imbalanced in that cut and sometimes, the more bombastic elements of that score drowned out the dialogue.
Some entire cast members might be lost in the attempt, come to think of it.
Some lost? You don't say.

Your footage wouldn't load or play, Jim. Check a couple of pages back when this restarted - asked you to re-upload.
That's what I get for only checking this thread once every 6 months. It's on me. Sorry, man.
