Author Topic: Mike Blakesly requested a sound trailer, I delivered Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-06-2015 07:51 PM                        So 5 days ago back in this thread, fellow forum member Mike Blakesley demanded: quote: Mike Blakesley Somebody on here (I'm talking to you, Joe Redifer) should produce a cool musical "stereo surround sound" trailer (non-branded). To which I replied: quote: Joe Redifer Careful what you wish for! I have some free time next week I think. Well I did have a couple of hours free so I made a trailer to grant Mike Blakesley his wish. Well, except that it’s not “non-branded” at all. In fact it caters to his own specific theater. It’s in DCP only. You can download it here: http://www.joeredifer.com/WelcomeToTheRoxy.zip - 637 MB It’s in Scope (the format of champions) and also 5.1 surround. Mike will surely play this before every show at The Roxy.  |  IP: Logged Michael Kurtzke Film Handler Posts: 45 From: Ashburn, VA, USA Registered: Feb 2013 posted 04-06-2015 11:24 PM                     Joe, That was wonderful! Excellent use of the Surrounds!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-07-2015 12:24 PM                        Downloading as I type... having seen some of Joe's animations, I just hope there isn't too much blood and gore!  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 04-07-2015 02:33 PM                     I can't wait to watch it. I downloaded it and tried, but it just plays as green screen.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-07-2015 10:56 PM                     What's the best method to use for playing back a DCP on a computer system? I heard VLC Media Player can play a DCP, but haven't tried that.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-08-2015 01:51 AM                        quote: Excellent use of the Surrounds! Thanks! quote: Bobby Henderson I heard VLC Media Player can play a DCP, but haven't tried that. It just gives you a black screen at the wrong aspect ratio. It can play the audio though (in stereo). The sound is not placed correctly though. Left, center and left surround come out of the left speaker. Right and Subwoofer come from the right speaker. Right surround is missing. It doesn't seem to be able to play the black screen and the audio at the same time.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 04-08-2015 12:47 PM                     Thanks for the warning. I thought about installing VLC but won't bother. I hadn't messed with VLC since seeing if it would play ripped data from DTS music CDs correctly (it didn't; just stereo when it would play something other than white noise). There's other software-based DCP players, but they typically cost a bunch of money. I think easyDCP is free, but will only let you play 15 seconds of any DCP at a time. I'm not aware of any plugins that will let someone import the assets from a DCP into Premiere Pro, Audition or After Effects. That leads to the obvious question: Joe, can you generate an .MP4 or .MOV so those of us without DCP players can check out the Roxy trailer?  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2015 01:59 PM                        Our internet crashed for a while yesterday while I was downloading the trailer but I managed to get a complete download this morning, so I will check it out later today (hopefully). Things are a little ca-ray-zee around here at the moment.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-08-2015 03:27 PM                        quote: Bobby Henderson Joe, can you generate an .MP4 or .MOV so those of us without DCP players can check out the Roxy trailer? Sure but not until Mike watches it legit in his theater. quote: Mike Blakesley Things are a little ca-ray-zee around here at the moment.

Ah, you must have downloaded the censored version.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-08-2015 11:46 PM                        OK, now that's damn funny. I'm .... honored?  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-09-2015 12:23 AM                        It's also a good sound test to make sure each of your channels are 1) present and 2) sound good since I did not change level or EQ as the voice travels. Anyway here is the Quicktime version (H.264). It is also 5.1 channel linear PCM. Bobby if you have PS3 Media Server on your computer you should be able to stream it to your PS3 in full 5.1. It will not play directly on a PS3 because the PS3 won't know what to do with it. http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/roxysmall.zip - 26MB  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 04-09-2015 01:01 AM                     So Mike, since most everyone in your town probably knows who you are, are you going to run this? If you do, you should videotape the audience reaction from the back row.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-09-2015 01:37 AM                        Hmm, I will have to think about that one! (Although videotaping the reaction is a fun idea)  |  IP: Logged
