audio for indies

I was doing some poking around about a new workflow idea and came across this gem of a blog post. To be honest, I haven’t read the whole thing because it was interesting but didn’t actually answer the minute question I was looking for. Having said that, I will come back to it. If you are at all interested in making your own movie, you should read it, bookmark it, commit it to memory, print it out and wallpaper your bathroom with it, whatever it takes.

The blog starts with some great quotes from A-list directors. I’ve encountered the Lucas quote summed up as “half of what you see is what you hear,” although I’ve also been told Lucas didn’t say that, he was quoting Scorsese or one of his film school chums. In any event, regardless of who said what, the quotes at the top and the whole premise of the blog post underline something Kat & I have been saying to anyone who would listen since we started this business: nothing telegraphs says “boring indie film” to an audience faster and more effectively than poor sound.

This blog post also inspired a pretty lively conversation over on the DUC, which is also worth reading/bookmarking/wallpapering/etc.
