The film is an Iraq war documentary complete with machine guns and bombs. I mixed the VO dialog to peak in the -6dB and diagetic to -8dB... I set my target levels based on a comparison to Ken Burns projects (loud VO).
The mix was also done to enhance the impact of the explosions.... the music is kind-of loud too (obviously a result of the composer mixing the film
).
Back to Dbeta...
The director hasn't heard back from the house. These people are friends of the director and our project is backseat to clients. Until I can talk to the person doing the transfer, I won't know the specifics of the routing and monitoring.
As always you're comments are insightfull.... For the curious, I will update with resolved details later.
