Never Have to Say Goodbye

'Never Have to Say Goodbye' is a small tribute to my late grandmother, who has been in the other world since February 19, 2008. I was listening to a song, the song used as the background music, when all these flashbacks of her began to flood my mind. My fingers began to type, and thus 'Never Have to Say Goodbye' was born.

Woken in the middle of the night by her father, a girl doesn't need to be told that her grandmother passed on from the world of the living. Follow her through the funeral and memories as she comes to terms with her grandmother's death.

My Comment: The cast did an INCREDIBLE job! They deserve an around of applause! I only hope that my mixing did them some justice. Also, this is my first ever released production and actual mixing job. Critiques are appreciated! I already know of two areas that could be better. The footsteps are missing for when the Daughter returns to her Father and Mother, and sometimes the lines seem to repeat themselves. I was trying to make it seem that the Grandma was re-assuring her granddaughter that she didn't need to say goodbye, but I think I may have overdid it.

[Mochan]

Woooooooow. Oh goodness. This...really tugged at the tears. I thought it was really well mixed and everyone did SUCH an amazing job! The only complaint I had was that there were no footsteps for the 'return' of the daughter, ya know? Like all of a sudden she was just....there, returned, heh. But that was my only complaint. Very well done everyone!

...omg, my mic quality is HORRIBLE. I'm so sorry. x_x I need a new mic. *sigh*

[Jefferz]

This was nice and touching. Mixing was great, props on your first job. The song in the background was a little loud and I had a slightly hard time understanding RStudios over the music, but that was all. The scripting was well done and I really enjoyed it. I'm sure your grandma is proud.

[Russ]

Mixed so quickly and well! This was so touching. Kudos all around!

[Dinkar]

I already told you what I think of this, but I'll say it again. This made me cry, like, hardcore. >___>

Father/Russ: You make a VERY good father. My only complaint is that the "What, you knew?" line sounded a wee bit awkward, but nothing too major.

Daughter/CidRunsFunny: Give me your voice and your talent. That is all. No, seriously. You have some real talent! Your crying literally made me want to cry with you.

Priest/RStudios: Not much to critique on, but from what I heard, you made a very nice priest.

Young Daughter/LittleStar: Dear god, girl. I knew it'd be cute, but I didn't know it'd be THAT cute. The emotion was spot on, too, so well done.

Grandma/Mippa: ---Okay, totally didn't know you could pull this type of voice off. I really don't know what could have been done better.

Mother/Mochan: The acting was superb, but I do agree with you that the first thing I noticed was your mic quality. It seemed a little weird. Nice mother, though!

Mixing: The footsteps, when the Daughter started running, were a little loud, etc. I didn't think the song was too loud, but that might just be me.

Final Thoughts: KOMFGAWKLJFIOSD; That is all.

Thanks for all the nice comments! I'll be sure to pay more attention to background music in the future.

@Mochan: Yeah, I realized I forgot those footsteps XD -buys you a new mic- Woo~
