  ADR ideas

  Posted by David Knight on February 22, 2011 at 10:37 am

  Hey, i am part of a student film that has just finished production and some of the footage has clipping. not a lot just here and there. I wanted to get some ADR done but being a student film we have next to nothing in terms of a budget. any ideas on what i can do?

  i was just thinking of renting a mic kit, getting plenty of foam and a static state drive to record and transfering the affected video files to a laptop so the actor can sync it up.

  thanks

  Put the real audio into mp3 format, have the actor listen to it on an ipod set to loop, re-record the actor as he repeats the lines. Might help to add some beeps to count them clip down.

  Soundtrack pro has a multitake setup that was built for this sort of looping.

  Best,

  This isn’t really an Final Cut related answer, but you should also be recording his dialogue on the exact same microphone that you recorded lines with on set. Different mics will capture different qualities of people’s voices. This will make it much, much easier to convincingly incorporate into the rest of the audio.
