Sound Recordist Panics, True Art in Indie Film Making,

[David Lezynski]

Cracked me up... a scatalogical element requires a warning. From a new twisted director.

That's funny. Might be a little true.

 

[Jim Feeley]

Ha! The only fake part is that when panicking, you can't make a phonecall to this forum... 😉

[Olle Sjostrom]

Funny! I was always amazed with how much you could do in the time between "quiet on set" and "aaand action". Lots of last second rerigs and "hope no one sees this". And I guess that's in every department..

[Jay Rose]

Ah... those precious minutes between 'roll' and 'action' are where I often gather samples for my roomtone generator.

haha, I liked when she said "You told me you're only paying the sound guy!"

Yup, that is often true. 

 

What is that extension thing he has on the side of the Tascam DR60Dmk2? I don't recognise that control panel?? How is it being used together?

Edit: Ah never mind....  later on I get my own question answered, Tascam DP-004: 

 

I don't understand at all however why it would be used!! 

Unless it is purely a movie prop... which I reckon is what it is. 

 

I hate technical inaccuracies in films I watch :-/ 😞

Always great when you're on the last take of the day, and in the middle of a great scene, the battery warning indicator starts flashing. A great sound person will be able to pull a solution out of their ass and keep going. (As in this film.)

Sometimes literally so! haha

[Johan Churchill]

What a great piece! I've definitely been saved by a similar situation where the director decided to take 5 minutes between roll and action to make changes when I wasn't ready.😬
