AICN: Venable’s J&SBSB Score Report (& More!)

July 23rd @ 7:43 pm | No Comments » | Scooped by Tom Perry & Tyler Stansbury

  • Some new pics have been added to composer James Venable’s website, venablemusic.com which contain shots of the orchestra recording the score to Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and lots more.

Mysterio’s also got a ton of pics of his own, along with a report on the session itself which appears over at AICN. There’s also some text about the ADR (automated dialogue replacement) session, where some of the film’s actors are re-recording some dialogue for the flick. Here’s a small snippet:

For Mewes, ADR seems to come naturally to him. Actors are basically given the choice of headphones with or without reference production sound so they can mimic their lines, followed by 3 “beeps” which help to cue the actor as to when they should begin saying their lines at a particular cue. With Mewes, the man needs no headphones, or reference. He just follows the scene on screen in front of him, followed by the “beeps” and nails it like a pro. Throughout production the guy’s been on the ball, never seeming to miss a beat, and today’s no different. I think the fact that Mewes essentially carries this film will be quite a surprise to some. He’s done some surprisingly good work here, and after putting the character of “Jay” to rest, desires to continue his pursuit of his acting career into different areas, outside of just playing “Jay”.

Also, seeing as Jim Venable is doing the musical score for J&SBSB, you might also be interested to know that he’s also doing the music for “Samurai Jack”, the new cartoon from the same guy who does Powerpuff Girls & Dexter’s Labrotory. The latest issues of Toyfare and Wizard have a “Samurai Jack” CD-ROM enclosed, which contains a Behind The Scenes featurette where youget to see and hear Jim Venable talk about the music he creates for the series. Nothing about J&SBSB there, though.
