Hi all,
Some clarification on my first email : I never said they were looking for
people, in fact they already have people for audio it seems (Jan
Morgenstern). Looking at the content of his studio, it's certainly not a
FLOSS-oriented choice (http://www.wavemage.com/studio-en.html)... My point
was, why isn't the Linux Audio community involved ?
I concur that we should get involved.
I talked with Ton from the Blender foundation a year ago and he was very
very interested in using FLOSS tools for that process. However..
i'd
be willing to join the effort - if somebody else produces the
content itself, i can help with mastering to surround.
What kind of content are
they looking for? I thought they didn't
advertise needing help and got someone else to do the sound for the
previous two films. I'd be glad to help, where I can. Content is
probably where I'd be the most help. We have all the necessary tools,
I don't think that's true. The two main remaining issues are 'good
soundfonts' especially for the Orchestra of movie soundtracks.
5.1 mixing is the second problem.
The latter is not necessarily a show-stopper. To mix-down one usually
hires a cinema dediated to mixing/mastering, with appropriate equipment.
- At least that's what I did for the film-soundtracks I've done with LA
and the blender foundation seems to be able to afford that.
they have ways to find people to produce
content...
That is (or was) not the main point of Blender's goals. They want(ed) to
push their 3D/Video engine and hiring someone who does the complete
soundtrack was much easier for them. - But that's where LA could come it ;)
We should be able to extend those blender projects to
reach
further than only blender. Let me explain : one of the goals of those
Blender projects is improving the functionalities of Blender by initiating
a professional grade project and getting feedback from the artists actually
working on it. IMHO, the Linux Audio community could greatly benefit from a
similar process.
Now, it's probably too late for this years project, the question is : what
do we do for next year, how do we do that, and when do we start ?
Opinions ?
Ico, do you read me ?
