During the Capstone presentations on friday, I interviewed Justin Williams about his project. He did all of the foley work on a scene from the Hurt Locker. It was pretty incredible. He deleted all of the audio and then started from scratch and it sounded really good. Here are the answers to the interview questions that I talked to him about.
What has this week been like for you?
It has been super busy and I haven't spent as much time in a lab my entire school career combined than I have this week. I was editing this morning and got the final tweaks done about 3 hours before the presentations began.
If you could change anything in how you did your capstone, what would it be?
I would have taken the goals that I set for myself at the beginning of the semester and actually apply them to the project. I found myself being a procrastinator especially towards the end of the project. If I had followed my timeline I would have been done about a week early and would of had some buffer time to tweak things.
How close is the final outcome to what you originally thought it would be?
It was pretty close yet pretty far off at the same time. I was really proud with how everything turned out, but I originally wanted to do the entire scene which was 13 minutes. When I started to realize how much work was going into the project I had to scale things back quite a bit.
If you had one more month to work on the project what would you do?
I would continue to do complete the rest of the scene. I was happy with how this turned out I just wish I could have gotten more done
What advice do you have for me about working on my capstone?
Make sure that you follow a timeline and set goals. Also don't ignore the goals that you set. You will find yourself in a bind real quick if you don't do this and most likely won't get as much done as you anticipated.
