I'd lose it completely if something interrupted me so many times.<br /><br />It's a great point you make about sound in the movies, I never notice it either, except maybe for "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Artist" last year. Other than that it sort of blends it, which is probably the most impressive thing about it - the people responsible for sound put so much effort, yet it almost seems effortless as you just take it in, without thinking too much about it.s.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13987831438787776712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-18178605638054158522012-04-17T11:35:16.122-04:002012-04-17T11:35:16.122-04:00@Ruth I knew you'd understand my pain!

I'm a bit anal about the scene and take being called, it makes it feel official and gives me time to get in position (another tech question - are you recording your sound into the camera or synching in post? I like knowing tidbits like that, haha) <br />You're almost there, and if airplanes are the worst of your problems then the film is going to be great!

I have been becoming more aware of the sound aspect of films lately, but I never knew it was this intense.

Great blog post Alex.<br /><br />I find myself thinking more and more about things like sound when I watch movies these days. I'm slowly becoming more conscious of the painstaking processes that go into making a movie look and sound as close to perfection as possible. It really is admirable.Tylerhttp://magnoliaforever.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
