SUMMARY
Role
Sound Designer
Intention (SMART Goal)
By October 21st as part of team 6’6″, as sound designer, I will show evidence of using a microphone array to record ADR that blends naturally with the actors movements.
PRE-PRODUCTION – INQUIRY
Leader(s) in the Field / Exemplary Work(s)
Christopher Boyes is one of the (if not THE) most successful and famous sound designers today. His work includes some pretty impressive titles, such as Avatar, several Avengers movies, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. What makes his work stand out to me is the fantastic ADR sound design and usage in these movies. More specifically in a film like the Fellowship Of The Ring, where they often filmed in locations and used shots that would have made on-site recording difficult, ADR was critically important to delivering the necessary audio. The creativity born out of the necessity to use ADR produced a wholly convincing and pitch-accurate vocal performance that blended seamlessly with the lips of the actors. It is this kind of smoothness and technical audio skill that I wish to replicate with our current film.
