The fine arts of sound design and foley artistry
After almost a month of recording, edits, re-edits, and mixing, I’m finished doing all of the audio post-production on Dan Wu’s film, Untitled Hitman Film. What a relief and a thrill to be done - that was the biggest artistic undertaking I’ve completed for quite a while.
This may sound preachy, but what the hell: go create stuff, call it arts, call it crafts, whatever. We all spend too much time consuming and not producing. Even the little things feel good. If you’re like me and start a lot of little solo things that never get finished, get involved in a bigger project, preferably one with a deadline. It’s rejuvenating and life-affirming, the most fun way to extend your life expectancy without getting a pet or married.
The film is premiering tomorrow night as part of APAture: A Window on the Art of Young Asian Pacific Americans. If you’re there, come say hi.
