This scene was ADR with inexpensive audio gear. You can be the judge on this.

Re: ADR sessions
Dave, when ADR miking do you continue to use the shotgun or whatever mic used in production from the same angle, distance etc.. or do you take license to be creative and use big diaphram mics, differnt proximitiese, etc...?
I swear much film dialogue is big daphram mics, i.e., U-87s, etc... they are so deep & rich, not tubey sounding, any ideas?

Re: ADR sessions
I've done ADR using a Mac G5 running MOTU's Digital Performer 4 software. They include a tool called "Polar" which is meant to aid in doing looped layers of live recordings... but which worked BEAUTIFULLY for ADR.
I use the same shotgun in most cases, and attempt to get the room tone to match what was in the original.
Failing that, I would use a large diaphragm (I use a KSM-27) for soft passages, and a dynamic for shouting/loud stuff, and attempt to get it as "clean" as possible and add wild sound room tone from the original shoot behind it. (You did remember to record some room tone, didn't you?
)

Yes, much film dialogue is big diaphragm (sp?). If you observe the clips of ADR sessions on the Extended editions of any of the LOTR movies, you can see that they do indeed use large diaphgagm mics. They may have other mics in various positions around the room, but I haven't observed them.

Re: ADR sessions
I always use the same mic that was used on production. I HATE it when people use large diaphragm mics for ADR. It is so obvious at times, it takes you right out of the movie. LOTR and the star wars movies are notorious for this. Even my wife, who knows nothing about sound notices when the ADR is recorded like that. I don't understand why people do it, and I never will. I even go so far as to use a wireless system if one was used on production, especially if I'm just replacing a few words.
