sinewave Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Hi, while I was watching this beautiful documentary, one thing got my attention and distracted me in following the story. Skip to 21:43 to see what I am talking about. What do you think, how did he/she (sound mixer) get such good signal to noise ratio on that particular occasion? In my limited experience, I will expect unusable or, at best, poor sound in that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco Lopez Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 There's so many factors, from mics used, to noise reduction done later on during post production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomboom Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Can't freeze and have enough def to see if it could be an electric scooter... With "gas scooter" sound track added after . Or something like (as said ) iZotope RX could have been used too... Or two mics eq'ed and re-mixed... Or ... Or... Or... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winter Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Very good placed lav + very good noise reduction in post IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Orusa Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sounds like a lav mic to me. You can see it pulling on the shirt and creating a fold in the fabric. Also, notice that you don't hear the scooter/motorcycle as much until it gets in front of her. What really helped this situation is that she obviously speaks loud and clear. This helps greatly in overcoming other sounds and noises. Mark O. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnpaul215 Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 That scooter is probably between 50cc and 150cc, and has the stock exhaust. The rider also isn't accelerating past her. With a lav, that's not too surprising. A shotgun in that stone trench would probably be a more tricky operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janetsound Posted October 7, 2013 Report Share Posted October 7, 2013 If the shot requires the talent to be yelling, like if he had dialogue amongst a bunch of motorcycles, you can use a sonotrim lav (more noise canceling than a sanken cos 11), and turn down the transmitter very low. The talent has to yell, but they would normally in an environment like that. You'll be able to pick up their voice and the motorcycle revving will be below it.
