This was the first time I'd listened to a lot the production audio, and I was nervous about a couple of scenes.
The ambient sound on location in Georgetown was particularly difficult. Our biggest day there was on a nice, sunny Saturday, and the area around the shoot (on the public street) was crowded with people. And motorcycles, and trucks. And freight trains.
And a crazy political performance artist with a portable sound system, who thought it'd be nice to be on film.
Oh yeah, and the Cessna jets, coming and going every ten minutes at 100 ft. overhead, from the nearby airport .
Did I mention that cast and crew had been on set since 5 am?
Anyway, with all that going on, audio from only one shot from that day was seriously affected, and that was a long master shot, which we covered heavily with a variety of nice, close shots.
Beyond that, we have 100% lovely, usable audio. All taken with a portable recorder and shotgun mike on a boom pole.
Thank you David Thomas!!
Also last week
I got together with a bunch of the actors to record clean versions of the three songs from the bonfire scene. The session was fun and went very well.Singers included Sarah, Ahren, Riley, Kenna, Amanda, Alyssa, and Mel.
It was really great to see everyone again; I missed them.
In other news
2nd AD Kat Brede stopped by the other day to borrow my apple box for a different shoot.I'm glad that the old box is getting a chance to go out in the field again.
Though it does make an awesome coffee table.
