Why the F^#& did the S^*( bloody C*%$ Not record the sound on the alpha channel? I am going to lunch and try not to swear at the next inanimate object I see here is a small editing project I have taken on whilt doing my main project as a way to practice my final cut skills. “I found a thunderbirds enthusiast by the name of Greg Martin who explaind to me that he was not in his ow words “crash hot” with editing software and I offerd to do some adjustments in m spare time. Email transcript { Hello Greg I was watching the rather sanitized new Thunderbirds the other day and I remembered your ABC open interview I watched your two completed projects on youtube and I read some of your blog and it seems to me that you are a fan of the grit, realism and attention to detail in the original Gerry Anderson production that even WETA can't seem to get right. I also make some Anderson inspired models digitally out of lego(see images attached) with some small concessions to modernity in the color scheme and holographic instead of analogue controls. I am a electronic media and sculpture student at the university of Tasmania and was wondering if I could have a chance to polish one of your films as an unmarked exercise for my journal and achance to exercise my knowledge about various film editing suites. I reckon I can polish the audio and sound effects a fair bit to give them a bit more of a impact(especially the jets) and I can also make the video quality. If not no biggie, it is just as grand to meet another fan and I have some suggestion of films books and video games that have similar themes to Anderson's workif you want some suggestions. James Ennever .} {Hi James,Very glad to hear from you and much appreciate your interest in my obsession. Your designs are very interesting and original – well done. Suggestions of some films and books that are Anderson-related? I’m always open to that. Not so much the games however. Never play them myself. Computers and I don’t always see eye to eye!Yes, you certainly can tweak one of my films – no problem at all. Would love to see the finished product as they are labours of love. Video editing suites? Yes, I could certainly learn a lot more about them. Do you know anything about Pinnacle Studio 12 by any chance? Keep in touch and I’d love to see the results. All the very best.Cheers, Greg }
