Our first task was to figure out how Avid had designed their new 5.1 functionality, and what effects that might have on the editors.

We mounted a projector, installed speakers, rigged up a screen, tuned the room to match the theater upstairs, bought two Artist Mix consoles and an Argosy console to hold everything, and started making the most complex temp soundtrack ever contained within 16 mono tracks. We started digging in to exactly how MC handles 5.1 sequences, what pitfalls there might be between systems that had a 5.1 speaker setup and ones that had only stereo, and after that was all figured out we started building a 5.1 edit suite at Bad Robot. When Media Composer v6 came out and we saw that we could do a surround sound mix inside MC for the first time, Ben decided to go ahead with this experiment. Abrams had mentioned to his Post Supervisor, Ben Rosenblatt, that he wished he could have better sound while editing, and a 'temp dub as you go.' He wanted to be able to screen the rough cut with no notice, allowing him to edit right up until it was time to show it, instead of having to lock a version of the cut a week in advance in order to do a temp sound edit and mix in ProTools. The other one has more stamina but typically gets less enticing rewards and the rarer items are even rarer than the other digger, but he does provide some items that the other one doesn't.On Star Trek Into Darkness, we wanted to try something new for our sound workflow, and that was to keep a running 5.1 mix in the editors' reels throughout the entire editorial process. The one closest to the Day Care Center will find better rewards but lacks stamina so will typically only get a couple of hits before stopping. When you agree, they will save your game and then keep digging until they hit nothing, giving you the results afterward.īoth of the duo will do this, but they each have a specialty. This is in exchange for 500 Watts, the currency accrued in the Wild Area. These two characters will excavate the nearby cliffside in order to get you items.

The Digging Duo are a pair located in Bridge Field in the Wild Area near the Day Care Center. Black: Victini & ReshiramWhite: Victini & Zekrom.
