The sound layback went extremely well and easily. It didn't really need any EQ as that would have caused more problems than it would have solved. It sounds better than the DVD and as good as it's ever going to sound considering it's never sounded very good. We fixed the little rubbery synch in the intro to the first musical number, and we had to use the end credits song from the DVD, as for some reason there were a lot of little weird jumps in the transfer of my print. We also realized that the trailer on the DVD is different than the one I had the negative for, which had no sound. So, we'll use the original Paramount trailer from the DVD and probably upscale it for the Blu-Ray, and the other trailer we'll include without sound, just as an additional extra.

Additional extras are always appreciated.

I just sent the Kickstarter link to Scott the director of BRAINEX INDIANA.....maybe some more cast members will see it there and cut loose a few bucks.

I was referring to the first photo. The second one is nice too.

I recommend not beheading the actors until after the show has closed.

Good Afternoon! Good Evening!

Well... After another couple of hours of rehearsals and another couple tweaks and fine-tunings, I'm currently sitting in the theatre - the very quiet theatre - just enjoying the calm and silence... Except for the sound of my fingers typing away at my MacBook's computer as I post here in HHW.

DR JOSE....did they set a new date for your conducting Day-Boo?

DR JRand - I will be the one to set the date for my conducting Day-Boo. Today's detail work on some scenes really helped me out.

Our Curly and Laurey did not join us until the second week of rehearsal, and because of that, I'm a little "behind" on the opening scenes. As soon as they were thrown back into the mix, I was usually playing dance rehearsals in the other room. It wasn't until our first run-thru in the rehearsal hall that I had even played through the Opening and "Surrey".

I did watch the archive video a couple of times, but sure ain't the same thing as watchin' and list'nin' to it live.

*I also need to continue futzing with the keyboard book for my sub (who will play when I conduct). I'm still adjusting settings and voicings after - and sometimes during - each run with the full cast and orchestra.

DR MBarnum - I thought you were going to ask for a shirtless version of that pic.

Otherwise...

I'm trying to decide if I want to make a quick trip back to NYC this coming Monday, or just enjoy the day off here in DC. I will be back up on the following Monday, so... We shall see.

I took a trip downtown to check on some legal papers that the bank seemed to have made a mistake on.

Ok. That sentence was a grammar nightmare. Too bad.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #106 on:** July 07, 2011, 03:38:50 PM »

And now...

I think I'm going to venture out for a bit to stretch my legs and a get a bite to eat before tonight's Invited Dress Rehearsal. -Which, apparently, is "sold out".

Laters...

Whew! I am back from a fun day in Cincinnati. Met my friend Patty for a Vera Bradley tea party, then went to Kenwood Towne Center for a couple of little errands and a 2-hour session at Nordstrom's. I have now been professionally fitted for unmentionables and will look fabulous in my mother-of-the-groom outfit. All I need now is shoes - I'm thinkin' black patent sandals...

How long until the wedding, Ginny?

I vote for #3, but I like them all.

bk · « **Reply #115 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:36:02 PM »

I am leaning towards number three, as well - it seems cleanest and most like a blu-ray cover that really pops the title, and it's the only one where I think the quotes really work, although I'll make "Newsday" and "Judith Crist" in slightly larger type. I've added number three (severely cropped to the dimensions Kickstarter demands) to the Kickstarter campaign.

Laura · « **Reply #116 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:42:54 PM »

I like number 1 -- the red curtain makes it look like a musical.

I've gone back and forth about the first one - I now don't love all that stuff on the steps and the steps just seem to take up too much space and the art itself is minimized because of it. And since the word "musical" is in the title, I think that's pretty clear - interested in other comments - they're all very helpful.

KevinH · « **Reply #118 on:** July 07, 2011, 04:52:17 PM »

I like number 1 also.
