• Los Campeones – Voice Recording Session

  So
  we have accomplished something quite amazingly ambitious this week. We
  have just recorded over one thousand lines of dialog for an entire
  feature movie in the space of two days. It was an incredibly tight
  schedule because we naively assumed that we could fit everything in
  and that it would be a breeze… Instead, there were times when we were
  almost pulling our hair out, stressed, disorganized, wondering if we
  were going to get through it all, and well, we did!
  
  Thank you to the entire team and cast for a magnificent effort. Thanks also to Jim Cherry (Prod. Coordinator), Phofo (Music Director) and Chris (Sound Engineer) for their patience and for putting up with my snoring flatulent dog in a small airless room for so many hours.
  
  We had a great cast too, and it was fun hearing the characters come to life. We present to you the main cast of Los Campeones de La Lucha Libre:
  
  

  Dragon Rojo Jr – Armando Valdes
  Mr Profesional – Richard Green
  Sorpresa – Ruth Livier
  Tsetse Fly – Candi Milo (The Flea/Mucha Lucha)
  Rayo X – Lux Interior (The Cramps)
  Dr Blanco – Matt Danner
  Dragon Rojo Sr – Eduardo Garcia (Look out for him in the next Coen Bros. movie!)
  Rey Extremo – Eric Bauza (Stimpy/Ren & Stimpy)
  

  
  And thank you also to the very entertaining gang who provided additional/crowd/monster voices: Keith Rainville(writer of Los Campeones), Rafael Navarro (Storyboard artist), Linda Gamboa, Loretta P., Tilly Duran, Wes Massey, Jim Cherry, Phofo and Dave Buscemi.

  
  

  
  

  From Thursday’s session: Phofo, Wes, Jim, Me and Jazzy, Lux, Eddie, Damienne
  

  
  The
  next two weeks are going to be intense as Eddie and I will be putting
  together the 70-minute animatic (storyboards + dialog tracks combined)
  in preparation for the Animation stage of production.
