Today all the students of our college who were involved in the documentary they're filming, went to a place called Tarangini Studios. I went there with Rajeev. Everyone who had lines to say, said them in front of the camera and then had to wait for another session (literally hours!!) where they would re-record the audio and dub it into the recorded footage. Rajeev had to wait for that - for me, the only thing I had to do was to take a screen test. I really don't know why they wanted me to do that, since I'm not going to be doing much in the video at all.
Anyway it's my first time in a studio and the experience was fun! First of all they put this make-up on me and then I had to act out what they told me to do, in front of a camera. Now don't laugh when you hear this. The scenario was this - my girlfriend was supposed to have ditched me, and I was supposed to act out what I was going to say to her. And that's what I did. I have no idea how I looked doing that, but I'm sure my friends must have had a nice laugh! I also got to see actual video and audio editing being done, it was really interesting! I've read about AVID (non-linear editing software) and stuff on the IMDb, but this was the first time I actually saw it being used. It's great to see, they've got these two large computer screens set up side by side, and they operate them as one monitor, cutting video clips, rearranging them, stuff like that. The audio editing was also nice to see, how they manipulated the sound to match it with the prerecorded footage of the person speaking.After I came back home, I watched Mercury Rising on HBO. Very nice thriller. Tomorrow I'll be going to TIME class after a bit of a gap, and I'll also be writing the Mock CAT. And oh yes, thanks Kiran for signing my Guestbook.
Dark Fate 2 is a singleplayer level for Doom II, replacing MAP01. It's a small-sized hellish level — and there's a walkthrough video as well.
