I wasn't there for the edit, but in the past I have used handclaps to create transients that can be matched with the correct frame when lining up audio and video in Sony's Vegas for YouTube broadcast, and it is pretty easy to do. Ultimately, this allowed the editor, who was also the DOP (director of photography), to line up the start of the audio with his visuals. For synchronisation purposes, we were using a simple non-digital wooden clapper to create an audio spike. Kit RequirementsĪ Canon DSLR, fitted with a selection of prime lenses, was being used for filming, but there was no requirement for me to sync my audio. Then we had to vacate the hall, taking down the blackout curtains and decorations, and returning the upright piano that we'd borrowed for the live band. There was to be a break for dinner in the evening, and a final outdoor queue scene needed to be filmed before utter darkness fell upon us. My task was to capture ambient and incidental sound, which included the sound of dancers, chattering crowds, a motorbike and a live band, as well as all of the actresses' and actors' dialogue. Sam had hired an old village hall that looked the part, but filming had to be done in one day, chiefly because many of the extras were war re-enactors and the limited budget meant that hiring them for longer was not possible.Ĭonsequently the production schedule, which also included enough time for a period make-up and hair specialist to style the lead characters, was very tight indeed.
NEW ZOOM RECORDER 2014 FULL
The story of The Nearness Of You was set on Valentine's Day during World War II, and most of the scenes featured a dance hall full of extras in period clothes and service uniforms. I was recently approached by aspiring director Sam Heydon to record the sound for a short film he had written. Even with the simplest of setups, audio recording for film is no easy task - especially when the whole picture has to be shot in a day.
