We're having a bit of a blizzard in these parts today, so I headed home early to avoid the evening commute. And what did I find a-waiting me in the mailbox, special delivery from Methuen MA?
ONLY THE MOCKAPALOOZA, THAT'S WHAT!!!
Seriously, folks. I cannot remember a time when I've been looking forward to something coming in the mail quite so much. This is what it's all about. Tomfoolery, created out of pure love of the sport of it all, and sent out for enjoyment amongst friends.
Mixx, I appreciate the re-mastering of the T.T. mock. I could be proven way, way wrong here, but I did feel like there was a lot of funny stuff in there that was just a little too inscrutable as a result of the background dialog being so high, last time around.
Anyway - I've got a busy-ish schedule going on these days (evenings), so I'm not sure how much time I have to set aside for it all, but MAN - I can't imagine I will not pop one of the suckers in tonight, if just for a little while.
On an aside...FAR be it from me to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I was just a teeny bit let down that P.M.; above all of us a master of Photoshop, did not include j-cards. But I know a lot of work goes into getting things to this point (for something that is ultimately going to be enjoyed a number of people that can be counted on one hand of Bart Simpson), and I totally know the feeling of, "Jesus Christ! Enough of this!!!"

I had every intention of jazzing up the graphics, but as I explained in another forum, the technical difficulties left me spent, and so...out it went.
Don't hold your breath, but graphics may follow - maybe I'll e-mail them and you can print and cut yourself.
It leaves me tempted to do FOTR in the same style - basically extract only the sound from that mock and put it over the actual footage rather than the camcorder version.
Some day...
The remastered TT and ROTK are done using ONLY the sound you recorded, so to the extent that the movie sounds are indistinct at times, it's because they weren't recorded. It sounded ok to me. Hopefully the mouth movements are synched. I checked the transitions from sound file to sound file and matched up as well as possible, but even digital seems to stretch somewhat over time.
You've got nearly 8 hours of mock there...use it wisely.
If you get to the point where you do FOTR, you may as well go all out and make one-inch-thick cardboard cases for the lot.
I don't think any of us need clearly audible background dialog, at this point.
A Mocked Set as it were.
