Hey Guys

I scheduled a meeting with Geoff on Jan 5th Which is a Monday. and a week before we start school

Dont really need everybody, so let me know if some of you guys can make it

I found an example of Geoff Dolman ( The Sound Guy's Work)

He did the 5.1 mix for this film for the Los Angeles International Film Festival

video

I showed it to my friend without telling her anything prior. and she got it!!! success! well done everyone! :D :D :D

however, she feels the ending isn't satisfying. it just ends, she says, it doesn't wrap up. like, she said there was the struggle between the gorilla and the soldier, what happens to their relationship there? she said she'd actually like to see them hug (although that's probably a bit too corny!!). and she says, so what? what does this change, this one gorilla's freedom? what about the other gorillas? and in the pan-out, why is everywhere peaceful? isn't there a war still on-going?
I agree that the ending feels a bit anticlimactic, loose...
if everyone can think about the ending, that'd be nice. brainstorm some possibilities? we can talk about it when we get back. I'd actually like to work on this in the week before school starts, if anyone's up for it. just so everything's ready for production.

in any case, she completely understands the story!! 'so, the gorillas are being mind-controlled, and this one gorilla escapes his device' wooo :D there's certainly things we can tweak, but for the most part, I think we're good.



and here's a rough animation tryout for our Mango Guy. Manguy?
