Very cool Making of! The mixing is somewhat off though, the bg music should be a lot more subtle, it's getting in the way of what people are saying making it hard to understand sometimes.
The music is more important than the text here. Other than the times when I'm narrating, the dialog is incidental, and therefore, plainly musical.
It's funny that my first impression of SMI:SE was disliking the lookout theme, because the melody was transposed down an octave from the original. A second later, of course, I took it back: there is dialog in the SE! So yeah, that shows your feedback is very helpful since I'm still learning.
Haha, making this video was probably harder. Still, the hard part about the sound recording was the lack of time. Your mind can create a lot of sound in just seconds, but then you need to come up with real needs: i.e. two pages of sheet music for a marimba, a percussionist, a sound booth, time to record, getting rid of unwanted sounds, putting everything together in a track, adding fx, and ensuring proper balance in the mix.
The video has more meanings though, but I won't give those away yet :)
que bien mi hijito!!!!!

But here, I don't think I'd change it :)

Your observation is very appropriate though! If this was a real documentary video, I'd definitely change the balance.
But this is the musicians medium this time, since I got to be my own
commissioner :D
Musicians are just like the sith, but waiting for Opera to come back to its glory... and we'll get there, bwahahahhaha!!!

@dd86rd haha, right, I get it. I haven't noticed that from SMI:SE that's very interesting indeed.
Keep up the good work, it's really cool that you are getting all this people involved in MI music.
