I have some time today and I can record Butterfly's Master's lines. Will post links once I get it done.

Please let me know if you have a preferred audio format (or if you get a better offer)

You're not mad, it's completely doable, in most cases. That's how I pulled of quite a few shots in Traveler 2, to be honest.

EDIT:

Martin showed me the shot in context. It's not even remotely close to the pano thing here, so there'll be problems. What I initially thought was the pano was compiled out of all the available shots in the film, which it isn't, which leads to problems with the method I was implying.

Right off the bat, I'm guessing it's doable, but hard to pull off. I vote for a track by Teague. He's amazing at tracking.

I can do things. I'm confused, though — wouldn't this problem be significantly smaller if we didn't cut up the one-r in the first place?

Cool, FP. Looking forward to it.

Tom, gotcha. You can build some pretty realistic 3D matte-paintings your way. Works really good for building interiors and planar-surface exteriors. But yeah, you need more pixels for it to work. One of the Sony cameras I use sometimes came bundled with software that could build a panorama from video, but it only worked on the .mts footage that that camera shot, it may also have used accelerometer data like a phone-cam panorama app does.

Question for the shooting crew: did we get any decent location stills?

I've watched the latest rough cut, and it looks great. I'd like to press forward with the effects work and final recording of the computer voices and whatnot.

Many thanks to all the Bothans who died to bring us this cut.

I can record Straya's master's lines, but it would be great to have a dispassionate female voice do Niken's computer lines. Any volunteers?

EDIT: Strike that. I'm told that Straya's lines have already been done by Fireproof. Thanks!

Okay Phi, any time I need a computer voice for anything I am ever doing in the future, I am coming to you.

IIRC Ben Burtt performs many of his droid sounds by making babytalk noises and then running them through his magic filters, e.g. much of R2's babble.

Our probe droid sounds (here I'm speaking on behalf of the sound engineer, who should chime and slap me down if I'm overstepping) are going to be heavily processed such that anyone's voice would be unrecognizable.

The "beep beep boop" sounds Phi threw in at the end of the ship's computer lines would be perfect if we, say, sped them up and looped them 20 or 50 times with some random pauses and changes in sequence, or just used the beep and the boop as Morse code tones. Add the eerie radio transmission phasing sounds and we'd have it.

I remember that Teague wants to do the sound mix, but it would be cool if one of you ambient music guys could come up with some good ominous probe droid language samples for him to use. Kyle? AuralStim?
