Saturday w/ Mike

Spent the whole afternoon doing voiceover work for my friend Mike Lim, who's currently doing his thesis. The project: a series of short stories (to be rendered in Flash animation) focusing on homo/transsexual protagonists, or as I called it, "Gaynimation TM." ("Queertoons?")

Joining me in this pro bono project were Mike's other friends, composed of former students and fellow teachers (like Stephanie and Len, both seen in the pic). Though the subject and tone of the stories were supposed to be serious, the talents involved were anything but (in a good way). Injecting a humorous atmosphere was easy w/ all the double meanings in the script (probably unintentional) . Also we made the best of the situation of having only one microphone and a cramped recording booth. (Geez, where are those tuition fees going?) And for some reason the we were making some of the secondary characters (depicted as a bunch of a-holes, frankly) sound wasted/stoned.

Got home a little 'round after six. Spent the rest of the evening (after dinner) posting comments on comic-themed blogs. Yup, I live a semi-nerdy lifestyle.
