Date: 2012-06-13 10:05 pm (UTC)Your sound effects worked well, adding to the disorientation John would have been feeling, as well as the other worldliness of what he was experiencing. And up until the last half hour or so that would have been enough for me to come back and leave a glowing comment about how much I enjoyed the podfic (because I did!). But then the last half hour happened and I had to stop myself from getting out of bed, turning the computer back on and leaving a hysterical comment about how brilliant you were.
You see, the pool scene is one of my favourite in canon, and a lot of that has to do with the way the actors played the words they were given (especially John and Moriarty). And then from John's (your!) first sentences with the bomb strapped to him and him parroting Moriarty I was yours. You OWNED it. The pauses, the intonations, the tremble in John's voice on certain words. I was transfixed, *dying* to see if you'd do as well with my favourite lines from Moriarty. And unshockingly you did:D The hint of an accent on Moriarty's first line coming into the pool room and then the slight shift and his growing madness.
AND THEN THE CREEPFEST OF JOHN CREEPING ALL OVER MORIARTY LIKE A CREEPER. Your voice and the layering and the effects (and the writing of course!).
I was and *am* in awe and I bow down to your mad skills.
THIS IS THE NICESTTTTT
Date: 2012-06-16 04:43 pm (UTC)I have to admit that the pool scene was pretty loathsome for me - the amount of VLC play/pauses followed by parroting, followed by checking against it, followed by frustration and the 'fuck it! close enough!' and ALL THE DAMN VOICE LAYERING UUUUUUURGHGHHHGHGH GOD KILL ME KILL ME I HATE MYSELF WHY DID I WANT TO DO IT LIKE THIS
yes.
quite loathsome. I think I would have rage-quit if jo had come back and said 'lunchee, I have a high pain threshold for podfic but I must tell you this was a horrible idea, it is not listenable, what were you thinking?', but luckily she thought it was a good job and so i happy danced and cried tears of joy that it was all going to be over soon and I would never have to look at it again. (This is probably not the reply you were expecting, but one podficcer to another, I thought I would share my behind the scenes frustration with you!)
HOWEVER, all this feedback about how nice(?) it was to listen to makes it so worthwhile. I'm just so pleased you thought I pulled this mess off :') Thank you so much for this, I wish I were half as eloquent and articulate as you!

Date: 2012-06-15 01:25 pm (UTC)As I side note I also really liked your talk at the end about how you went about recording this. As a fellow podficcer I'm always interested in how other people manage to do things so well and it was nice hearing what you struggled with and why you made certain choices.
Thank you for this!

Date: 2012-06-16 04:52 pm (UTC)Thank you! I'm going to be honest and say I am so lazy that actually I really did hope I could have gotten away with inserting all the show dialogue straight in, but alas luck was not on my side. Still, I'm pleased as punch it was an enjoyable listening experience for you ♥

Me too! I really wish other podficcers would join me in my freetalk bandwagon :( I am super nosy! I want to know things guys!!! But anyway, while I'm constantly bewildered by anyone's enjoyment of my blatherings, I'm very, very pleased you found it interesting! Thanks so much for all the lovely feedback, it brightened my day ♥

Date: 2012-06-21 04:05 am (UTC)This was brilliant and I really liked the sound effect for John's ability.
I was personally not a fan of the bit where you included the voices from the original series as it felt slightly disjointed. I would have much preferred your take and I'm sure it would have been great :)
I particularly loved the fact that your voice in this podfic mirrored those of the actors brilliantly from scene to scene. It's been a while since I've watched the first season but, as soon as I heard you say a line, I knew exactly which scene it was from. The pool scene and Moriarty were particularly well done. The ridiculously creepy John voices were also very good and I actually got goosebumps.
Thank you once again for a really great podfic :D

Date: 2012-06-21 02:06 pm (UTC)I'm sorry that clip was disjointed for you. The rationale behind the inclusion of the sound from the show was pretty much because after John's entire introspection about shoes and Carl Powers, the scene closes with the quote, "I mean, you missed almost everything of importance," which was great on paper, because it harkens back on ep 3 where you know Sherlock is making fun of John's deductions, but aurally? Not much sense. So, between a bad place and a bad place, I chose to go with the option that would make the most sense to hear.
I'm really pleased you thought I managed to mirror the episode well enough, and incredibly chuffed that it was able to remind you of each scene it referred too. There was definitely a lot of VLC playback side by side with Garageband during the making of this. And thank you for being creeped out during the pool scene! I'm really happy to hear it :D
