Dave Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 I enjoyed this "short" :-)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NltCxxyqFUU Waiting for the next installment. I think this has the potential to become a dark, heavy, action drama with car chase scenes and international intrigue... Episode One: These 2 poolside heavies plant Audio Ltd. wireless mics into Zaxcom headquarters in order to unlock the secret code ..... on second thought, maybe a comedy series would be the way to go....ha ha! The MixPre 6 sounds good to my ear. Anyone know which wireless models, lavs and camera were used? Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted April 21, 2018 Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Well, this "short" took 10 minutes to do what could have been cute, but it was about 8 minutes too long. Audio, Ltd. wireless are really good digital wireless but having Kish be so patient explaining these things to someone who appears to be basically clueless doesn't really seem to help promote the gear.

Dave Posted April 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2018 Hey Jeff, Hope all is well. I think the guys are just having a bit of tongue-in-cheek fun and levity, unwinding after a long mind numbing trade show stint. Gabriel is by no means clueless - nice guy and he knows his stuff. I think he's just having a laugh with improv and playing devil's advocate for light entertainment. He seems to be drawing on the Nigel Tufnel (Spinal Tap) school of spontaneous acting :-) Hey, I'm Canadian and that's the kind of humour we love up here.... SCTV, Kid's In The Hall, Jim Carey, Tom Green, etc. ... our philosophy is if 2 minutes of improv banter is good, then 8 minutes is even better. :-))) Have a great day Jeff!

Jeff Wexler Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hey, Dave, I really did not mean the guy was really clueless, I just meant he looked and sounded like someone playing a character who is clueless. Also, I love the style of humor, it just didn't seem to work that well in this video.It's often the case that improvs like this produce real gems of humor, but sometimes not so much.... always a risk and maybe I should not be so critical of the effort.

Dave Posted April 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Howdy Jeff, Sorry, I'm with you now :-))) Speaking of comedy - I'll bet you'd have a ton of cool stories to share about working with comedic actors. Do you have any favourite memories recording their voices? Are there any timing and delivery techniques that you have found the really good comedic actors have in common? When you work on those type of films (comedy), is there a different on-set vibe that develops? Thanks kindly Jeff. By the way, really found your interviews with Matt Price very informative and inspiring.... thanks very much for sharing your knowledge. Cheers, Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomBoisseau Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 I kind of liked it. It was a little like listening to Ben Stein! Boring, but slightly humorous. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VASI Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 A blend of British and North American humor! I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cineli Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 "Lavallier" microphone: the name comes from Louise Françoise de La Baume Le Blanc, duchess de La Vallière (and mistress "paramour" of king Louis XIV). La "lavallière" is a very nice kind of...tie ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_tatooles Posted April 24, 2018 Report Share Posted April 24, 2018 Recorded with the built-in microphone on an iPhone, subject to microphone distance about 25 feet. That's why you hear some traffic noise. But a pass through RX 6 helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Blankenship Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 A little protracted, maybe, but actually well played and gets its points across. ...loved the closing line. At first, I quoted it but changed my mind -- no spoilers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La "lavallière" is a very nice kind of...tie ! The term lavaliere (lavalier), the name for a jeweled pendant necklace, comes from her name (or after Ève Lavallière). In its original French, a lavallière designates a floppy neck tie tied to form a bow at the front of the neck (reminiscent of a pussy bow). It was a popular fashion in the 19th century.
