- I linked to my final version and the Week 1 concept. I also loaded my original flow chart. Thank you for all the kind words you provided along the way.
Here is my post mortem on this challenge:
1. There's that old saying, "My eyes were bigger than my stomach". I intended to do three rounds of dates, but could only finish one. The scripting and generating the audio took a lot longer than I expected. I have the scripts for Zara and Dr. Dave so perhaps before the end of the year I can finish them off.
2. I have about 70 individual pieces of audio in this demo. I didn't do a good job of naming the audio clips before I loaded them, so if I ever had to pass this file off it would be hard for someone to untangle.
3. I really liked using the AI voices from Artlist, but I didn't see a place to download the caption files. I had to type in all the captions myself. I used the notes panel which helped, but it would have been easier to import them. I liked "Tony's" voice the most and loved the way he pronounced "Peter" and "Pinot Noir". I think these are the best AI voices I've used so far.
4. I used AI to help convert my hedge fund compliance questions and answers into the style of the 1970s Dating Game show. I was impressed that AI could capture the cringy nature of the answers.
5. I don't think the background audio control is working as planned. I have it set to reduce the volume of the music by 80% when the characters are speaking, but it doesn't feel like the music volume is reduced enough.
6. I didn't accomplish my objective of making this keyboard friendly. I started, and then lost steam on it.
7. I hate the song "Spanish Flea" and the color pink now.
8. I regret not working in a question about merkins in the workplace. I was saving that for Zara, the HR Director. :)- Hi Jodi. Regarding your fifth point, problem with the background audio control not working as planned... It may be - I say it may be - that if you want to “set to reduce music volume by 80% when characters are speaking”, you need to enter “20” in the audio control panel (i.e. you keep 20% of the volume, and therefore reduce by 80%), not 80. This may be your mistake. Burn this message if I'm wrong.
- I had it backwards. Thank you. I thought I was "reducing the background audio by 80%". Thank you for that tip.
- The first version I saw was already excellent, Jodi. Thanks for the subtitles: I had a feeling I was missing your doses of humor.
I can imagine the enormous amount of writing to complete just Kim's journey, but it's great. At least I'll have seen one of these shows in my life, otherwise I'd a thousand times rather shun this kind of game show! Oh la la!
