The mixing sessions that I had to attend for all the Episodes took place in this very room (below). It was especially important for me to attend these, as when we started the sessions, about 40% of the Animation and Compositing was still in retake (!!) We had to start mixing with unfinished material, basically the latest updated Leica. This of course can be very confusing for a professional mixing team. The Studio was under tremendous time pressure, we didn't have the luxury to go back to our tracking system to check each retake note, but since I was involved with checking and approving work from all departments, I remembered also the retakes on the particular scenes. This has speeded up things a lot.
Traditional Clean-Up:
..and this is how we used to do it a few years back. These blue folders in a studio in China represent an entire Feature film, and each drawing in each folder was checked by me, as well as each scene's line test. For following model sheets, Layer order in X-sheets, respecting volumes and perspective, line quality, overlapping actions, lipsynch and possible mistakes from animation such as sliding feet or Hook-Up problems, as this was the last stage we could adjust artwork before the scanning started for the paint and compositing department.
In those days the retakes were written directly on the top of the folders, and I used to have lots of paper cuts on my hands from rolling the drawings on the peg bar. Each folder could tell a story as they often were handed out to freelancers who did not work on the premises. Some had coffee spilled over them, some had corpses of cockroaches or mosquitoes flattened, some had massive foot prints on them, and some had mud spatters. The smell also varied from folder to folder. Good old days. 2005
