soundtrane Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just saw the film. Would be great if we can get to know their experiences 'on set'. -vin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhforAndAfter Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 I watched the film the other day. Interesting movie! I'm curious how they captured most of the location sound. My first guess was that they left a recorder running on each actor all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam hamer Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 So, jerry and I only did the stuff not shot in the parks. I believe the actors were wired with cheapish voice recorders. I spoke about how I would have done things had I been involved from the start, which would have basically involved them creating sync points, but that's probably a moot point since I suspect most of the park dialogue was ADR'd. I actually can't believe anyone has made it all the way through the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Wielage Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Oh, this is the film about the guy at Disneyland, and everybody is surprised that Disney let the film get released (as much as a tiny indie can get released) without any legal hassle. Weird idea. Keeping non-timecoded audio recorders constantly synced would be a real mess, especially given that they apparently shot the thing on Canon 5D's or 7D's (to maintain their guerrilla-style production and not attract attention). It's an ostentatious idea, but it sounds like once you get past that, there ain't much there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 marc: " shot the thing on Canon 5D's or 7D's " and there are many smaller, cheaper, more innocuous looking cameras that shoot in glorious HD... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam hamer Posted July 13, 2014 Report Share Posted July 13, 2014 Exactly. I believe the plan was the film would get burrows and great a huge buzz without it ever being seen. What actually happened was it was seen (sadly) and there was no buzz. The reall hero there was the ad who scheduled that mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhforAndAfter Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 From Wikipedia: "Actors and crew used their iPhones to communicate and store information such as the script—that way, they looked like guests casually using their phones. The phones were also used to record sound, in addition to digital recorders taped to each actor's body that were left running all day... The post-production tasks were as challenging as the production itself. Sound editors had to listen to the entire uncut tracks from the recorders taped to the actors' bodies in order to find the dialogue."

PhforAndAfter Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 I thought the movie was amateurish-looking at times, but it was weird and interesting enough to pull me through, and I actually enjoyed the weirdo ending. Worth a 'free' watch on Netflix for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
