Ahh sound, the bastard child of Indie movie making
I just watched a surreal trippy movie Tetsuo, The Iron Man and the sound design blew me away ! If I was blind and only allowed to listen to the movie, I would be impressed ! Sadly too many of us force sound to ride on the back of the bus. "Oh I will get a Rode NTG-2 and slap it on the cam" is the only sound many of us Indies think of in Pre-Production. My first efforts were not that well thought out.
I want to make sound my first priority when I write the script on my next project. I truly am jealous of musicians who get into filmmaking as I respect their skills. A sound designer / musician equally more.
My point is that film is a multifaceted art and I have limited myself as an artist by not thinking of every element of the experience in planning. I shall spend plenty of time in planning any project just going over the sounds, sound textures and music on all of my future efforts. I am hoping for better results. I will use a digital audio recorder and make funny noises like an 8yo or whatever as I plan ...
let's see what happens for me
What do you do in pre-planning w/ respect to sound ???
