Nightscape ADR

I spent two days in January in the studio doing ADR work with Jason Edwards, sound designer on Nightscape. What is ADR I hear you ask? It stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacement. It's needed when the sound guy screws up. Just kidding! It's to get cleaner, better quality dialogue reads, to get an alternate line delivery, or to dub over OTS (Over The Shoulder) shots with different dialogue if the scene was altered drastically in editing. Basically, it makes the movie better and gives the director more options in the editing room.

It was kind like playing a video game or Operation because of the precision required for a good take. I also had to do things like breathe, sigh, sniff, scream and cry, matching it all to the film. It was fun resurrecting Kat's southern accent for a while, and was the first time I got to see the cut together scenes. It looks so good! Still needs color correction, SFX, titles, and the rest of the audio FX. Definitely does NOT look like an "indie" film. (Not that that's a bad thing.) I can't wait!
