I shot a little parody of an italian TV ad and I'm now editing the thing.
I just hate sound. I just can't begin to understand how it should be done. I would kill to have the opportunity to sit next to someone who knows what he's doing while editing his short.
What I learned was that I should d my best to record the cleanest dialogue possible on set. Does that mean you don't need to record sound when there is no dialogue ?
In the ad I shot, there is not a single line of dialogue. But that obviously doesn't mean there is no sound. There are a lot of little things, couch squeezing, table rattling, clothes rubbing, finger touching and what not. I'm I supposed to throw in the separately captured sound for each sound effect each time ? Or I'm a supposed to throw in the whole recording of that shot ?
Also, slating... Shit that thing is mandatory and absolutely not an option. I'm sick of having to listen to each track to find the one that corresponds to a certain take.
Obviously, I'm still learning but some days, I just wanna quit. I'm telling you, if I'm off the game, it would be because of sound (or indoor lighting, rage topic coming soon).
