The Editor's Blog

Last night I held a production meeting with fellow Executive Producer Patrick McCray finishing up around 11pm discussing various topics regarding ‘We will control all that you see and hear’.  One very very important aspect of producing audio dramas are the deadlines regarding production. During the conversation that took place we covered the casting of guest stars for the episode. Normally these are recorded outside the usual recording schedule that we set for our regular cast, so it’s all about communicating effectively with everyone involved to ensure that all are aware of their roles and target deadlines for the production.

Other items discussed included the show’s credits, concepts for artwork, the production of web content including interviews and episode ‘extras’.  We also discussed writing assignments and episode 7 (The season finale) and future projects.  I will be contacting David Raines once again to collaborate with him on developing our season 2 opener next year. 

I have another meeting scheduled for tommorrow morning with Sebastian Prooth to discuss these item with him. Unfortunately schedules do clash as we work in three different time zones around the globe, however we make time and are committed to making it all work out…

Stay tuned for another update soon.

Over the next few months of production for the upcoming episode ‘We will control all that you see and hear’, I intend to keep a blog include articles and interviews detailing every aspect of production and design for an episode of Star Trek: The Continuing Mission including pre and post production processes of dialogue editing, sound effects design and scoring.

Hopefully this will allow and inspire others to follow our lead in producing dramatic web based audio content for fans of sci-fi and drama.
