Movie Trailer Post Project - part 2

Today we'll be continuing to work in our groups on the movie trailers from the last class. Our goals are:

1. Finish recording and mixing all dialog.
2. Divide up duties for getting all the different audio elements together:

• Foley
• FX
• Music
  

3. Assemble all the different pieces (aka "stems") back into the Pro Tools master session in the DAS.
4. Mix everything down and export to a single Quicktime movie.


In the real world, people work completely separately on the different audio elements of a film. Foley people do their thing, FX people do their thing, music people do their thing. Generally, these people aren't interacting and their work doesn't get put together until the final mix. Instead, they all work separately and mix their work down to stems, which are stereo mixes of their particular stuff (one for foley, one for FX, one for music.) These mixes are then given to the mixing engineer, who puts them all together to create a nice balance. This is what we're doing today...
