i’ll probably change my mind in the morning
after much soul-searching, i’ve come to a momentous decision: i’m going to donate by body to not to science, but to foley.
we were yakin’ tonight about plans for an upcoming foley session – the timeless “buy a truckfull of meat & produce, haul it in, mic it up, murder it to death, and tell the CFO with a straight face that it’s all work-related”. yes, that chesnut. :) anyway, the talk soon turned to procuring animal bits not to be found at the local market. a trip to the abattoir perhaps? being mentally unhinged enough to drag warm deer from the side of the highway? posing as med students to get access to fresh…uh…
this *was* all “hypothetically speaking”. hypothetically.
it was then that the ultimate act of sound desginer collaboration occurred to me. to hell with being an organ donor…let my audio peers at ID take a run at my mortal coil with a couple of sledgehammers and a sawzall. now that’s a production podcast! and then when my loved ones want to pay their respects, they can just hop in-game, wack a mutant in the head with a blunt instrument, and voilà! we love you daddy!
after all, i always nodded in agreement when bill hicks said, “put ‘em in the movies!”
