Dubbing for Casper, Ric really had fun but on the other hand Drew had a very hard time. Specially as the special effect systems is not well developed like the 21 century, Drew had to act alone in her and Casper scenes.
But the overall computer graphic effects specially the ghost was well made, expressive and more rendered than the original ghost.
In order to fix the problem Drew was facing, some measures was taken but still it was a hard time for her, but her acting skill really improved over the course of the film. In-fact she played the role more wonderfully than Christina ricci who the original actor.
Finishing the dubbing work, Ric was free until the last scene. So, he spend most of time finishing the script of and more importantly the songs of this film.

He also didn’t want to go recording studio in order to wait for his voice pitch adjustment after his growth sprout.
In this free time he wrote four songs, two original of his and two what was in the original movie and due to the time contains he took help from James Horner, the music composer of . They composed and record the song together and Ric learned proper composing and recording from him, in order to do it himself in the future.
Even during the composing of the music, James praised Ric’s singing skills as well as his writing of the song.
All the song and soundtrack of the film was record in Feather Entertainment’s new established firm which is a music publishing company as well as a record label.

It was mainly establish to record sound-tracks of films and games produced by FE’s film studio and game studio. Other than that to create a platform for indie musicians or singers unlike the mainstream record labels or music publishing company.
After recording the songs, Ric and James waited for the final product to be finished and when it was finished, Ric asked James to decided which two will go to the film.

“Great work you two and 10 minutes break before the final scene.” he announced.
Before the final scene, their was the conversation scene of Kate’s parents. But to keep the constancy of Ric and Drew’s scene, that shot was taken first before the dance scene.
“All right times up back to position.” ordered Robert.
The scene basically about when they dancing for sometimes, clock hit 10’clock, resulting Casper to stop dancing gave Kate a one last look and kiss her, during that moment Casper turns ghost and everyone flees, but the movie ends with ghost uncle trio to play instruments while Kate and her dances.
During the break Ric sat down and mentally preparing himself. Because the next scene is the kiss scene.
