Here are some screen grabs that illustrate some of the techniques we employed in order to complete the mix.
The hardest part of the mix was combining the voice of, supposedly being fed from Martins dating video, and the diegetic sound of the activities he's performing. Above is an example of how we had to alter the end of many of the clips in order form them to end suitability abruptly, enabling them to flow seamlessly into the next clip. Here we added a final decipherable punch (made by Joel), thus giving it a definitive ending from which to follow on from.
Above is the point at which the non diegetic sound from 'Star Wars' fades out and Martins voice comes back in. I edited it so that the iconic theme music creates a natural fade in the sound, at the end of the note cycle i dropped the audio levels from the film and at the same time increased the voice over, the result is a relatively seamless transition, allowing the levels to remain the same throughout the audience are less aware of the change in sound and therefore accept the change, creating a much smoother edit.
I believe it's the little details, many that often go un noticed, that make the biggest difference between a successful and unsuccessful sound design. Below is a screen grab of the 'excersice' scene, as Joel created the entire sound design for this scene from scratch we were able to manipulate it in almost anyway we wanted. An aspect that many will have missed is that at the point that Martin wipes his forehead, there is a lapse in the button 'smashing' foley, adding that extra bit of realism and continuity to the film.
