this is really cool bt u knw if they keep showing this on youtube watching the movie again will not have any real feeling anymore so as to future movies

@bronxvideos

actually i disagree, watching this and then watching the movie again makes you appriciate the sounds and music of that movie.

[roflcopters99]

It's also used to help the effects editors sync the edited sounds in later, because the production track (or "guide" track)..er...guides them as to where to put it.

Can I ask a rather stupid question. Given that they seem to be replacing every sound, what did they need Production Sound for?

[badseed136]

Mostly just to record dialogue. And they don´t replace all the dialogue like they said in the other video. That´s an overstatement.

[Renzokukon86]

it gives a better idea of the sounds that are occuring naturally while shooting on location. plus if anything is good enough they can just keep it and save time and money on replacing it. another example would be the dark knight. since heath ledger died before everything was complete he wasnt able to do ADR for his role. but they had the production audio and his lines were good enough they were able to keep them in the final cut.

[scorchedsound]

They might as well record it, just incase they get something truly amazing, they won't want to miss it. And I'm sure they can allow certain lines, not having them iso-booth quality. That's just an educated guess.

@reptongeek

It's no stupid question, In fact they did use the production sound, but only for synchronization.

So yes, in some films with a big budget, they literally replace EVERY sound.

but makes a proffesional sounds---

[rafanavega]

I think foley must be one of the most tiresome aspects of post-production. Imagine having to go through the whole moving adding nuances of sound and scratches and small things... I hope they pay you well enough!

[dariunas]

@rafanavega Kind of. But it's also interesting, employing various techniques, processes and effects to manipulate sound. And it's also artistic in it's treatment. It's also offset for any sound worker in that they'll usually be in on the more fun recording processes :D
