Ok.. just kidding. Im wrapping up a production and I made some errors while shooting. I forgot to always have the talent pace themselves w/ the action and not make noises in their actions while talking. I also allowed the talent speak too low in some takes. I had issues of more than one actor try to talk at the same time.
Note to myself.. be a sound nazi. take the time to insist that action that makes banging clinking noises not happen while the talent is talking. #2 have the talent speak CLEAR. #3 make the talent pace themselves to avoid talking over one another.. If it is required get them to do it individually for the mic. #4 monitor the sound frequently after takes to insure quality. If sound is an afterthought... you know the story
If I'm going to attain high quality, I must have the thought of the audiophiles shaking their head in approval on my practices. Just as I want to monitor what Im shooting visually, I want to take the time to review the audio after a take to insure I get quality.. crappy sound = crappy movie.
Im still thinking Im doing OK for a 1 man crew w/ some spot help n boom op... but gotta learn and apply to next project. I will do ok after some minimal ADR on this project, but when I work smart, I will reap the rewards.
