Eric, the thread was started by me. Â I posted it seeking an LA based sound consultant for help on a short film that I am producing. Â I was going to have someone to break down the script with me and go over potential problems and observe on set. Part mentor/teacher and consultant. Â Since it was a 1 to 1.5 day shoot, I was seeking to barter services for anyone interested. I am far from a student and own a lot of production equipment. Â The remaining cast and crew are all volunteering. Â I was asking for a mixer's advice since my experience is limited. If I offended anyone by asking for bartered help, I apologize. Â I have done several projects working for free bringing my 442, schoeps, and lectros because it was a good cause and I had the ability to. Â I plan to have our on website our filmmaking techniques and equipment used especially the sound gathering techniques employed. Â 50% is shot in a bathroom and I have 1/2 day. Â I do not have the budget for proper ADR. Â Wild tracks/tight shots/tiles on roof (thanks Sergio)/sound blanket the hell out of it and really pray for the best. Â
It escalated as Jeff mentioned and I asked Jeff to remove the topic since I was not able to. Â I just got off the phone with the poster and we are all cool. Â Just a misunderstanding. Â Happens all the time, and the other poster is a standup guy.
