We’ve completed our first production, which is an audiodrama: The colonists are joined by meta-conceptual artist R. Allen Emerson as part of his project to experience a lunar eclipse as viewed from the Moon, while Josh struggles with a new problem getting the colonies first crops started. This episode worked particularly well as an audiodrama, and we’re very excited to have been able to finish an entire episode! You can stream or download the FULL EPISODE (34 minutes) from our site here: http://lunatics.tv/z/s1e02a We are also offering the episode on Audio CD along with some extras, in an IndieGoGo Campaign: http://igg.me/at/lunatics/x/1057944
We’ve just posted the audio drama for the episode “Earth” in OGG and MP3 formats for downloading or streaming from the download page. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it!
As we’ve already mentioned in an earlier update, Lunatics! will start out with two soundtracks — one in “original language” and one in “English-only”. These tracks will be nearly identical most of the time, but they will handle the few cases of characters speaking other languages differently.
Our show doesn’t really have a single star. Instead we have an ensemble of several colonists, each of whom gets their own stories. But we also want to get them together as for ensemble moments, like this scene of the two main families having their first meal together on the Moon.
I’ve now mixed the audio for the pre-title teaser and Act I of “No Children in Space” for the animatic version. Although it sounded fine on my studio earphones, I found it didn’t sound so good on a TV. I realized I was mixing it too “hot” — meaning the dynamic range was too high. So I did a little research, and now I’m mixing a more reasonable version.
