hey, so this was my first short film i made, didn't know anything about sound so i just put it down as an experience.

anyhoo, the BBC are interested in screening it somewhere, but first I am going to re-edit it with a new score and I wondered if there is any way to make the dialogue sound better??

I don't have all the details yet but if there is anyone who can help to rework the dialogue sound I'm sure we can come to some arrangement.

If you can do it or know someone who can, please reply, thanks!!

Hmm, sounds like you did a bit of restoration already and if you hand this over to anyone be ready to turn over the original tracks along with all the ambience on either side of it because it's already pretty cut up abruptly on the ins and outs.

I also have some suggestions for the sound design and music if you care to hear it.

i don't know how much time i will have to work on it yet but i have music selected. all i have is the audacity free program but i'm pretty lost even with that.

i'll be editing from scratch so i will have the recorded dialogue and separate ambience tracks

they are both in different cities now, prob wouldn't be feasible, i don't know how long i have to get it done yet. i mean they want to show it the the way it is but i want to make it better, there could be 'good to know' people will be watching it.

It's always so much better to get things right at the recording stage. No matter what is done in post production, poor audio will never sound as good as properly recorded sound at the source. The hollowness in some of the dialogue could be improved quite a bit, better level matching would not be hard to acheive either, but the digital clipping (asuming it is in the original recording and not something that has happened later) is almost impossible to remove. It can be disguised to some extent using some of the tools I have at my disposal, but it will never sound as good as if it wasn't there in the first place.

THANKS, It was my first short and lessons have been learned , sort of. I just did the best I could just now, since I want to move on to something else, it was just to try make it better for a screening since you never know who will be watching it.
