tonetripper Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 So I just started watching "The Wire". First off amazingly realistic feeling show. The characters are intense. The camera work is very interesting and documentary like, in fashion, but merged with some nicely orchestrated dolly moves. The thing I am most excited about is the audio given some of the framing. I checked out IMDB and found out that it's Bruce Litecky. Wondering how much of the show was boom if any and what kind of wires were used on the show (ie Tx Rx/mics), and what kind of mixer/recorder set up was used. Haven't really checked out American Horror Show but I've read about the sound mixer in Sound and picture. On "The Wire" I heard a few points of ADR but if there was any more it was tough to spot. Hats off Mr Litecky. Thanks for amazing work! I'm a fan. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McL Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 See this about sound editing "The Wire" http://www.reddit.com/r/TheWire/comments/1qn6ff/i_was_a_sound_editor_on_the_wire_every_episode/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriskellett Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 House of Cards mixer Lorenzo Millan was Bruce's boom operator during those years, he took over for me on the last year of Homicide, Life on the streets and stayed with him for a while. I am sure that if you reached out to either of them they would get back to you with the specifics on the gear. They did a lot of great work on that show, that is for sure.

tonetripper Posted January 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 That's an amazing read Jan! Thanks! Fascinating all the folding of simulated location sounds built in after the fact. Some very real moments there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonetripper Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thanks Chris! House of Cards is also a fantastic sounding show. I'm sure Bruce's ways may have rubbed off on him to some degree. i may do get in contact with both of them as I'm impressed with both shows and am always challenging my own ways of negotiating audio in my own universe. I love this forum for the communication. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
