Foley Session Scheduled

We're nearing the end of production with PARALLAX and are confident that it looks good. But how does it sound? Not too good. There was a lot of interference with the sound on location. Rather than spend the time cleaning it up, we opted to recreate the ambient and local sounds (foley) in studio.

I would have preferred to use the sound recorded live, but it just didn't work. There was a hum in the audio. The room had too much echo. Some sounds did not work well at all because the room was brand new: it hadn't "settled" yet.

Those were some of the challenges of the natural sound. We will overcome them with "unnatural" sounds, if I may say that. Synthetic sound.

This process will be a first for me, so I'm especially excited about it. I'm going to have to create a list of sounds and bring props to recreate the sounds. This should be fun.

Blessings,
Scott Hampton
