Hollywood Again – Browntourage
Last week I got back from my trip to Los Angeles and it’s been really busy since.

WHY DOES MY VOICE SEEM WEIRD?
For starters, you may notice that some of the audio sounds sort of weird – like cheap dubbing in the videos. The reason of that is because I ended up doing ADR – Automated Dialogue Replacement or Additional Dialogue Recording – for some segments.
The wind was crazy up there and it totally drowned out my voice from the mic, even though I had the wind resistant padding on it.
I figured after seeing the tour of ToddAO and Warner Bros. post production studios I wanted to give ADR a try. I’ll tell you that without ProTools it’s messy business.
If it’s not automated and you’ll have a bit of difficulty getting into the same mood and emotion to sync the audio and video together.
A pain in the butt really.

MY PLAN TO A SUCCESSFUL STUDIO PRODUCER
My plan is to simply exhaust all routes until I get to where I want to go. The way I see it, its going to take a lot of hard work and sweat.
What better fuel for that than passion?
One of the routes I’m in the process of initiating is starting an internship. Basically take in and train focused and dedicated individuals on producing content with Leechon.
I was hoping to launch this initiative in October, but client demands, seminars, classes, and being married it taking its toll.
My objective is to launch this internship initiative before the end of the year, no execuses.

MashaAllah. Your energy in the video is contagious. I felt the same way this past weekend (official videographer at my youth group- FL Association of Young Muslims- brothers outdoor camp).
InshaAllah hope to see you start that internship real soon. May Allah grant you success bi’ithnillah.
COMMENTS ON THE VIDEO:
I liked how you streamlined together (in the beginning) the two different dialogue shots of yourself to make it seem like a continuous speech. Also, I was kind of surprised at how the audio wasn’t worse when you talked about the wind…I can imagine how hard the ADR must’ve been….
keep going, wassalaamu ‘alaikum

Please brother bilal if you can organize with the sheikhs to do an outstanding lecture about bid’ah and Sufism not to promote hatred and dividing but to show the mainstream Muslim internationally that this thing is truly dangerous
