White Vault S4 - Ep 1. Dialogue is Sequenced
Episode 4-01 Update: As of 23:30 Pacific Time on 10/2/2020, the dialogue for Episode 1 is sequenced.
The above is a quick screenshot of a small section of the DAYS of work put in by our cast, by Marissa Ewing, by Kaitlin, our translators, and myself (Travis). It includes audio from four continents, seven countries, and nine time zones. The best takes of each performance were selected, all audio was cleaned and doctored to sound like they were recorded on similar microphones, the audience's Point of View (PoV) was selected for each scene, and actors have been panned (and volume levels adjusted) around that PoV for the entire episode.
We still have to tackle the rest of the sound design process, build ambiences, mix, and master the episode before it can be released, but we're hoping to make some significant progress this weekend towards the goal of an early Patreon-Only release. However, its nice to look back on how much work went into the episode to get it to this point... Especially given what's in store for the rest of the season and how much more complicated things are about to get behind the scenes...

Having witnessed your sound editing streams, dude the work you all put into making your podcasts is unreal and SO appreciated. Thank you!! Now to go freak out because WHITE VAULT WOO HOO!!!!
I am going to lookup some of the behind the scenes things y’all have posted with newfound respect. With the caveat that I’m learning as I go I’m producing an original story on the side with some friends, and I think I’ve sunk 10 hours in editing 3 hours of recordings down to 1, and layering sound effects and ambience for just the first 5 minutes over that. 10 👏 hours. Props to you all who do this all day every day lol.
Thanks Michael! We had another 22 or so hours of sound design prior to mixing, and we're happy to have it up ahead of schedule!
I literally could NOT be more excited!
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME
Wooooo!!!
Thabk you so much for all of your hard work and dedication to bring us god tier content. We all know it's a ton of work, but every episode proves it is worth it!
So excited!
You all are amazing! Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
In an age of audience tested, marketed, assembly line film and television, it's obvious when something is produced as a labor of love. Thanks for all of the hard work, and for keeping me on the edge my seat!
I appreciate this screenshot! A lot of work I know, but grateful you guys are putting it in!
4 continents, 7 countries, 9 time zones, things are about to get more complicated behind the scenes??? You are going inter planetary?
AHHHHHHHHHH IM SO FREAKING HYPED! Y’all do an amazing job with your audio mixing and I can’t wait to see where this season takes us!
