I know I was kidding, though most pros do have some cheat sheet someplace...

We had a whole binder full of the stuff we would always forget and then spend time looking up. One day we said we...

It's a rate used when you are shooting film but posting in video in the US. It compensates for the speed drop when you do a 3:2 pull down. If you don't do this you have to run the DAW in pulldown...

Out of curiosity where are there guidlines for the names? I've heard the "super" VS "Hyper" discussion before and basically came to the conclusion that the real difference is what the manufacturer...

The easiest way as mentioned is SpeakerPhone, it will do the speaker simulation and noise and distortion, pretty much a one stop solution. Otherwise I would give iZotope Vinyl a shot for "degrading"...

Then I would go for a camouflage pattern. And send pictures if you do!

Big budget films sync off the clapper, by hand. At least if they are shooting on film they do. With things like the RED coming in TC will probably work it's way in.
It's a lot of work. Most low...

The quality of the demo gives one pause about the quality of the device. The other mic they sell, actually as far as I can tell it's the only one they actually sell now (this one didn't show up at...

The short answer is no. There is software that a person who knows what they are doing can use to help them clean up the tracks, but it's the skilled person who is key not so much the software. ...

The headphone cables are not normal cables, they use a conductor ribbon wrapped around a thread. So what you have to solder is tiny and fragile, a real PITA.

Well when going remote you might want to limit yourself to people who speak the same language... Actually you probably want them to be in the same country/ area so that you have some common cultural...

The real answer is you will get better sound with the better operator.

Untill you get down to real junk equipment all the stuff out there can give you exceptional sound IF it's in the right hands....

I would agree that you don't need to limit yourself to your local area. I have worked on a number of films and a few hundred ads where I have never met the director in person. It's a bit more...

I'll second the 48/24.

Syncing short takes should not be an issue, even long takes with some luck might stay in sync.

If you use something like a MixPre as your front end, you can set up the...

I've done a number of commentary tracks and Gary is on the money. You might also be able to cut out a "hole" in the spectrum for the narration. People will not be listening to the cometary if what...

Deaf filmmakers doing their own sound...

I'm trying to think of an appropriate analogy. Maybe a vegetarian chef who puts meat dishes on the menu but never tastes them?

It's a bit well weird. ...

There is no dialog in that scene so there isn't going to be any "room tone", at least by american usage of the term.

Room Tone is the sound that production records when it's "silent". It sounds...

Not really, if you have seen many of "his" posts, but aside from that "he" is also the neuter term in english as much as there is one so no real assumption is being made. Though I would be quite...

I don't know if there is a decent sound for film curriculum anyplace. I'm sure there is one somewhere but I have never heard of it. I taught sound for film, but there was so little time allowed and...

Again Mr. pony you are listening to (I was going to say something rude), folks who are less than informed. Or your tolling for fun. I am not sure anymore which.

But for others anyway, room tone...

Actually if your not listening to 5.1 or SDDS, you are almost certainly listening to an optical track.

In 57 it was probably a mono optical and that was pre Dolby and such so yes small bandwidth...

You are probably going to have to do some testing on your own. Peoples sense of "noise" differs. Most of the cheap mixers of the past were quite noisy, but then so were the media that you were...

Again with the "told". If you take one thing away from all your threads it should be that there is not a single answer for all situations. A room like the one in the film is exactly the kind of...

They did build sets for the film at a studio but the court scene was filmed at the palace. But if you do mat work you don't need to either film in the palace or build the full set. You only need...

Using the set "reverb" only works if you do the whole scene in one take. You have long reverb "tails" and if you cut them it will be very obvious and sond choppy, it's also VERY hard to smooth out...

So this is a real location - from IMDB (and a few other places)
"Although the story takes place on France's western front, Stanley Kubrick chose to shoot the film in and around Munich, Germany. Most...
