Fancy some post production?

So it's been a while since I've updated the progress of Slange Vang. I'm glad to say that the reason for this is that I've been grinding my arse off to complete this film, and so far it's been totally worth it.

 At this point in time, there are too few hours in a day and it shows in my eating and sleeping patterns taking a drastic turn for the worst.But this is what it's about. Having a dream, having no money, then sharing the dream with people and then have the privilege to get to show it to the world. 

The past weekend had been an amazing blessing. Stepping into Sonic Scalpel Studios in Rietfontein to record the score for Slange Vang with long-time beard brother, Gerhard Jacobs and the musical freedom that is Werner Hurter.

We got together friday night to start writing some material and the synergy was amazing.So amazing that first thing saturday morning, we were setting up my drums to record the theme song entitled The Way of Death. In no time we were on to record guitar tracks with Sonic Scalpel's newest addition: A Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III, retro-your-face-off, two-tone-jerseyed maniac of an amplifier. Before we knew it, the creaky, crusty bass tracks were laid and we moved on to some lighter instruments.

We recorded with an organ dating from the 1870's, named Apostel, which belongs to Werner. This was an amazing experience with an amazing instrument.

So after a ridiculously hot weekend, me and my two sweaty friends sat back and enjoyed the mastered tracks and we unanimously agreed that we have created something that we would gladly fork out our hard-earned coin for.

On to more blessing, I was lucky enough to find Cordier de Beer at Bekend Recording Studio in Roedtan, Limpopo to record some expertly written narration written by the man himself. 

So with all this new audio it's time for a final sound mix with the best in the biz, Pieter Brits from Brits Productions. This will ensure that the film has great audio quality for a production that I've been toiling for almost 8 months.

All in all, an immensely tough week filled with blessings I could not  dream about.

The film should be done in a couple of days, so keep an eye out for the arrangements of a premiere due soon.

Thanks for following, and I hope that everyone will enjoy the film as much as I've put into it.
