Last week in Tulsa we made very good progress. Along with recording a ton of foley Nathan and Dusty also laid down some of the last remaining ADR tracks for the film.

The leading bad guy – Hengest – is a large broad shouldered killer who towers over his enemies. The actual actor who played Hengest wound up playing the voice of another character so we needed someone new for Hengest. We scared up an off duty police officer – with previous experience acting and a very nice deep voice.

At first I was worried – Erik didn’t look much like Hengest… But the proof was in the pudding – as they say – and after spending 2 hrs in the booth when Erik walked back in the control room we were all shocked – he’d sold the lines so well we were surprised not to be seeing Hengest himself.

In the above picture Erik is holding a large wrench. In the confines of the booth the double sided ax preferred by Hengest wouldn’t have fit very well – but he needed something to wield so he could get the rhythm into his voice.

Nathan, a Pro Tools power user, teaches Dusty the ropes.
