Testes, Testes, One, Two...

A while back the Trip Fives met with a guy to do some cold readings for some possible internet sketches.  Though there were roughly 20 scripts to go over, the focus was on a couple of "jokes" that could possibly be animated and presented to Mondo Media.  The jokes would then be animated much like the Happy Tree Friends, a Mondo mini show.

Last night we all (minus Megan, who is currently scheduling her appointment) did the audio recordings for the two scripts.  It was a lot of fun.  I've auditioned for one voice-over commercial only once before.  But really, to all of us, this was very new.  We all stood in the sound proof room with headphones and mics. Tom and Jerry (that's right) were on the other side of the glass, only being able to converse with us after the push of a button.  After various sound and level checks, we recorded.  An hour later, we were done, but I have a feeling we could have done that all night and maybe even into the next day as well.

The next step is to have the audio cleaned up with a little music and sound effects, then it will be presented to the Mondo people, or person.  It may just be one guy, but in my mind is a big boardroom full of people in matching suits.  Then, who knows?  Maybe it will be animated, which hopefully could lead to more recordings.  It's possibly that we could start working on some of those other scripts for some future short-film festivals.  Out of the 20, about half of them I could really see working. 

I am trying to keep my expectations low at this point.  I'm excited, but there are other more important things to focus on.
