Sound is Finished

Yesterday we listened to the final sound mix of Calvin four times. It was especially exciting because there are no more changes left to be made.

A Dolby Rep was there at our approved dubb stage to create an MO of our work. Only Dolby can do this with their hardware. The whole process feels dated in a way but it's quite effective. The MO is basically a cartridge that holds about 2 GB.

On the cartridge is both our 5.1 mix and a 2.0 mix. These will be striped directly onto our prints so that when our prints play in theaters they will be in Dolby SR and sound great.

More news to report soon.

I can't wait to see this, Gary.

I agree. And it's not fair that you don't have a trailer up to tease us with.
