Overriding ilok for pro tools 10 mac12/14/2023 ![]() It was an interesting and enjoyable experience. RIP Soundelux (1982-2014), Todd-AO (1953-2014).ĭanetracks brought me to the US to be First Assistant on "The Raven". The industry will not be killed, it has been wounded but the people and talent live on. I wouldn't have changed it for the world and I'm looking forward to the next phase. It was sad to be taking it all apart but I was grateful to all that I'd met. The people that I'd met and worked with, the projects I'd been a part of, the places I'd been and experiences I'd had. As I pulled the speakers off their stands, the TV mount from the wall and the console and cabling away from the desk, I began to think about all that I'd experienced since first entering that room. Alan's room, a gorgeous sound design room was still largely intact but not for long. Scott's room had become storage after the music project had been abandoned. Mikael's room had become a VO suite that I was now removing the equipment from. I'd met with Bryan and he'd walked me round. It would take a further 8 months to eventually kill the company but slowly team after team left, we shifted remaining staff around the 7080 building, into and out of different facilities and the place wasn't the same.īy the time the company was officially closed last week it was a skeleton crew and we were migrating the remaining staff to the first floor of 7080 where I realized that nearly 11 years ago to the day I'd first walked into those rooms. ![]() Everyone has opinions on the hows and the whys but regardless, the death knell was sounding. Work had literally become family and David Y was there as a witness.īy that point we'd also started hemorrhaging creative talent from the company, supervisors and their crews were leaving due to changes in management etc. In early September, in amongst working on the final of Carrie (yes it was a long project) I was able to take a day off to get married to that wonderful and difficult lady Eddy had introduced me to way back when. It also gave me a chance to explore some other skills, learn more about virtualized computer systems, Perl scripting, brush up on incredibly rusty SQL and ASP programming. ![]() This essentially made me a full time employee of the company which was great for me and I hope good for them too. When I wasn't on the dub stage I'd go to the Soundelux Tower that I'd first been in 10 years previously and help with server maintenance amongst other things. Thanks also go to Howard Schapiro, our wonderful immigration attorney.ĭavid Young, took me on as engineering support for Soundelux Editorial. With letters of support from Gordon Lyon now of Gobbler and Chris Gahagan of Avid, I became an Alien of Extraordinary Ability (O1). Richard, David and Nancy once again came up trumps. In July my visa was up for renewal once again. That alongside he cut perhaps my favorite sports movie of all time, the awesome "Remember the Titans" and Carol's favorite "Volcano". August: Osage County, 2 Guns and Carrie made up the majority of my year.Ģ Guns with Joe Barnett and Tony Lamberti, was an incredibly enjoyable experience and gave me the chance to work with Michael Tronick, a wonderful picture editor and incredible character and one of the nicest people I've met in this industry. The majority of the year was taken up with a few projects in various forms. One example of the friendship and support that this great company has extended to me over the years. Marc Fishman, the dialog mixer on the show we were doing was wonderful and gave me a ride every day of that mix. That coupled with needing to drive 15 miles to Todd-AO Lantana each morning instead of Seward was very challenging. In the UK this wouldn't be such a problem but in the US when driving a stick-shift (manual transmission) it becomes more of an issue.
