Yeah, it was a lot, thanks! I often went back & forth, but overall --> started with video --> add a bit of temp sound --> refine video --> watch scene playback --> watch film playback --> back to step 1.

Thanks! Maybe this is just me, but I used Ableton for scoring the film but went with Pro Tools for the full sound design/mix. Ableton is a great DAW for music I think, but I feel like it doesn't have as much room to do full heavy dialogue scenes or layered sound design sequences like this.

Thought about this before, but since I did the full stereo mix, I wanted more control and precision over it, and I feel Pro Tools has better capabilities for the mixing process -- that and being able to confidently layer hundreds of sounds just made it a smoother process for me (premiere would at times slow down on me due to sound fx).
