Hi to all.
Tom a question about mixing for you if you have a mo..
I have been location mixing for about five years having boom opped for the guts of 14 years before. More and more I see a disconnect between a directors/productions understanding of what it takes (technically) to deliver a quality product... the fix it in post mantra is being taken to new extremes. Where as a proper tech rehearsal would eliminate most of the issues we get presented with.
More and more (on lower budget films) I find we get one take on one slate with no rehearsal, or a rehearsal that bears no resemblance to the actual take, making it near impossible to do a good mono mix, salvaged only by the iso's.
So I guess my question is.... when delivering a mono mix down and what ever number of iso's needed would you....
(A) prefer to hear an attempt at a mix given the high likelyhood of ad-libs being missed or ...
( fade everything up so that you have all the dialogue (scripted and unscripted) on the mono mix down so that dailies are more digestable and the iso's get remixed later
What do you think ??
