ADR

Yesterday I spent a brief amount of time watching the director and sound designer working on ADR'ing our film Home Away From Here. It was interesting to see the director fulfilling his role, directing the actor and helping him achieve the results we wanted for the film. The sound designer professionally utilised the equipment to record the audio he needed and ensured he had enough takes.

I believe it's more important to understand the amount of work each person puts in towards the production of a film. As an editor I understand the amount of work required to reach our goals, and at times throughout the stages of post-production one cannot help but think they are drowning under piles of work compared to other members of the crew, however after sitting back and watching the director/sound designer from a distance I fully understand the sheer amount of work they too undertake.
