Sounded really good! Nice moody/thought provoking theme to it as well.

Was this done with the Scully?



Cheers! :)
 
I just want to know how you did that opening video shot, zooming up and away like that...? :)

Thanks ... This is actually an older mix recorded on a Teac 80-8, mixed with a Model 5 to a Tascam 22-2. Just Mellotron, bass, and clavichord.
 
Pretty steady hand on the joystick then!

It looked like a solid/steady camera zoom...no visible shake or shift that I could see.
There some sway to the image at the start, but once it start going up, it's damn steady.

Were you raising the drone away from the shot...or was the drone up high and you zoomed its camera...?
 
Its my understanding that lonewhitefly only provided the music for the video so your questions, Miro, might be better asked of the film producer.

I didn't see that he said that one way or the other.
Besides...the producer isn't here for me to ask him directly. :)
 
I asked him, and the drone has no zoom, so it's pretty steady!
 
That's one of the demo mixes that appeared on 'Mystery of Revival', isn't it?

Thanks for the info...and tell him I said nice work with the camera and the drone.

What did you use for the opening strings stuff?
They have a very rich, thick texture.

Yes that's right, thanks for noticing. I gave Chris (the drone filmer) a disc with a few old alternate mixes, and he picked that one.

I would guess it's the M300 low strings from the Mike Pinder mellotron sample set.

It was from the Mike Pinder set, but I'm certain it was two different Chamberlins. If I'm remembering right, it was the cellos, and the other must have been 3 violins. I thought I would never forget this stuff, but looks like I'm starting to!
 
LOVELY 'Tron sounds.
I've watched all the docos about the things that I can find.
Interesting that the recording of samples was done so much cleaner in the US with the Cham.s and the grittier dirtier tones were done in the UK. The clean tones are lovely but the grit is the sound that nostalgia or exposure make me crave.

Yeh there was always so much grit everywhere else in my setup that I opted for the Chamberlin sounds 90% of the time! They sounded more beautiful and realistic to me.
