raquetball court scene.

[jonwolf]

I'm working on a feature and it involves a scene inside a raquetball court. The scene has alot of dialogue and I know that the acoustics of the room will create an echo. I was wondering if there was a way around that without doing ADR?

A super unidirectional mic (shotgun mic) or clip on's would probably be your best bet. Also get the mic as close to the subject as possible.

..remember that some echo will still be ok.-it's probably best not to remove it all, unless you like spending time in post playing with acoustics. you want to make the audio sound as realistic for the environment. ie: if they are in a cave /empty collosium..its ok to have a little to alot of echo .. it really sells the set.

plus if they are playing at all you want the out of breath feel to some of the dialog unless they snuck in there for a little fling
