Yeah, I'm 30 in a few months, and thinning out at the front. Considering a buzzcut all over, since my beard is getting quite majestic and I'll probably look pretty metal, even with my lack of height. I'll miss the quiff though :/ Edited December 17, 2013 by modey

I'm trying to fix very hissy/noisy dialogue in a feature, which one would think would have good production audio. It doesn't. I gave a substantial ADR list (whole scenes I feel need to be redone) and the producer wants me to try to cut some actors and lines out because it's gonna go over budget. So I will need to figure out what I can fix and what I can't in very minimal time. This will probably mean I will have to work during xmas vacation.

Isn't film work very haphazard as far as getting jobs goes, so when you're on you're on. Or do you work for a post production place that is working all the time?

I work in a post-production studio where there's usually always something to work on year round. I'm on salary and not free-lancing. We mostly work on docu series or docu features. With the amount of broadcasters available they are always hungry for new content to air whether it's good or not, so there's always some short doc series on whatever subject being produced by independent producers. Once or twice per year, we'll have a feature length film to work on which is a fun change of pace. Except when the audio is shit and I have to fix it with multiple people looking over my shoulder with their own personal interpretation of what's good and what's shit. That's when I usually just take over, tell everyone to let me deal with it and wait for the final product.

Cool jerb bra. ;-]

Yeah, but as they say: post-audio is where musicians go to die. ;) (another 1st world problem?)

I really miss making music as much as I used to, which is why I'm hanging out here these days. I missed the braindance! And the quality of the majority of music people are posting on here is nothing short of awesome. I'll sneak a few listens of some soundcloud accounts while I work to keep the endorphins flowing. :)

As a side note, last I heard Esem was also doing post-audio. Which is probably why we haven't had a release from him in so long. It's unfortunate, I'm a big fan of his work.

Where u at paranerd? I do location audio for film, mostly doc and corporate stuff. I'm based in NYC but I'm currently on a reality show in Michigan until March. Your workload sounds like an NYC house.

Cool, A/D! :) That's a fun part of doing location: the travel. I've done location a handful of times, but I'm more comfortable in front of a mixing console.

 

I'm in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. We do a lot work similar to a NYC post-house, yes. From what I'm told anyway. I haven't had the chance to visit other post-houses outside of Canada honestly. This is our website.

JESUS LADY I CAN HEAR THE SOUND LEAKING FROM YOUR KNOCK-OFF BEATS BY DRE FROM 30 FEET AWAY. DO YOU REALLY WANT TINNITUS THAT BAD? GET OFFA MY LAWN!

I don't have an answer for this question: What's more valuable? Knowledge or creativeness?

i can tell you that my creativity has waned significantly in the last few years. i've also learned a ton. and frankly, i kind of preferred being an ignorant artiste.

“You must not know too much or be too precise or scientific about birds and trees and flowers and watercraft; a certain free-margin , or even vagueness - ignorance, credulity - helps your enjoyment of these things.”

Yeah! It's usually more interesting to work on your own productions than others. I'm always game to edit and mix stuff in my free time if I'm into it.
