Behind the Scenes: Alamat ng Bundok Kanlaon




This is a little sneak peek at how to basically edit audio - ironically, it entails a lot of sight too. Sometimes the sounds don't match so you have to watch out for the exact point on the soundwave. Removing too much air whether environmental or the person's exhalation is another one that entails a lot of staring. Layering sounds is tough when qualities dont match. And especially considering that it has been a long time since I last did this. It was really good that Kitch and Megan sent me so many sound effects and that the whole group cooperated on those five takes.

Behind the Scenes: Alamat ng Pag-Ibig

Comic book making = ANALAYSIS PARALYSIS


Here are some pictures detailing my hurried analysis paralysis for my comic book....

My spatial understanding needed a mini prototype... I honestly had too much time thinking about this... I was too confused.


Apparently, I forgot about the two fish or are those the silhouettes of Ina and Ama? 
I don't know too... 




Testing out some color combinations

Frame by frame planning


more frame by frame planning


and more frames


and more

deleted scenes...

I honestly worked through the story frame by frame. I intentionally did the drawing before the actual story so I could just show actions. Had I done this project before my exams, it would have been more polished. The physical character study I did were lost somewhere. Anyway, despite the analysis paralysis, I really enjoyed imagining scenes. There were originally 20 pages but I found a scribble on my notebook that said that the limit is lower. I would love to turn Philippine epics into graphic novels after I have more practice drawing and if such epics are alright to be adapted into visual imagery. I don't think it would be respectful to turn Berinareu into a graphic novel since it is that sacred to them. Even writing the title makes me feel guilty already. But making a comic book is a really goor exercise for a person's imagination regardless if you can successfully translate your thoughts into visual imagery.

Alamat ng Bundok Kanlaon











This is the recording of our group's Alamat ng Bundok Kanlaon radio drama.

Backstory:

This project was so tiring for my eyes and ears but I still enjoyed it. It has been years since I last edited an audio piece and this project reminded me that if all jobs paid the same, I'd be editing audio.

 The quality of the recording was not very good since we recorded in the classroom right after ILC rejected us. Apparently, we need to submit a letter days before and my group agreed that we wouldn't have made a letter had we known the need for it. Can you imagine the hassle?  So after we were rejected, we went back to NCAS 306. This was after a short Fil21 class. My microphone isn't built for recording and I bought it mainly for family or tutorial video calls.

Anyway, there was too much air and we were very awkward during the recording process. I recognize the really weird inconsistent audio levels. It was really difficult for me to balance everything. The group members sent me sound effects later that day and this is how it turns out. Generally, Kanlaon group members were really cooperative.

*(I'll upload a behind the scenes for this and all the other activities if I find all my drafts.)*
