You Know it's getting to you when....

So it has now been a few days of audio syncing, and I'm on the last straw.

Trying to sync audio together involves (at least with the equipment used on Roanoke) matching timecodes and lips, lining it up with the camera audio, muting the original (bad) audio and making sure every word spoken matches up with a mouth movement.

In doing so you give yourself a very respectable dialogue track but in return a week of being a bit mad.

This week rivals the week of logging all the clips, a week sat in front of the computer needing to concentrate constantly on mouths and not getting out much. Do not get me wrong however, when you hear the difference after a number of weeks editing the film in the bad guide dialogue it does sound refreshing, it also seems odd on some scenes (such as the London Dock and some scenes on the Golden Hinde) to be able to hear the chatter rather than the sound of traffic!

I did however meet up with someone yesterday and it was odd to see all their dialogue was the same as their mouth movements! How interesting!

Ok well I've had a five minute break,

Back I go!
