I've been playing around with some ideas for the first scene soundtrack and the first set of credits. Here's what I've got right now. Let me know what you think!

Audio and Music Score
As with any film, sound is essential. At this point we're planning on using a Zoom H4N for onsite audio recording, and a Zoom HD16CD for mixing, and score. Mics are a weak spot currently. I'm not sure what mics we're going to use right now, other than the H4N internal stereo mics, which are very good, but there are only two of them. I've been working with a MIDI keyboard to see what sorts of sounds I can get out of it that we can use. It's sounding very good right now on dramatics, building up suspense and such with the built in effects. Now I have to find some cheerful melodies... (I'm playing improv, and slow, dramatic parts are easier...)
I'm not sure if I'm going to keep this exclusively in Blender or not, the video, CG, and final mixdown will all be done in Blender, but I have Reaper, and for intensive audio work, that would really be the tool to use.
Once I get some good sound clips, I'll try to look into posting them here, but I've had a lot of trouble embedding audio clips, because I don't have a good place to store them on the web. I used to be able to use Google Docs, but that stopped working, and I still haven't figured out a good way to embed audio yet. I could post links so people could download MP3s, but I try to keep away from making people download something to see/hear it, and uploading only audio to YouTube is just clumsy. (But I may resort to that)
Ending on this note, the audio is just sounding beautiful right now, lows, highs, and mids, with melody, rhythm, and bass all coming together nicely in my test tracks. I want it to be almost perfect before I post it here though.
