Musicngear: What DAW and plugins do you use once everything is recorded? I would say let’s throw in some neon light sounds, or some people coughing in the background to show this is a sick office The Audio Technica paired with the Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen is straightforward, easy to use, and gives great results. Rainn used a Shure SM7 very briefly on one of the episodes, and although it is a great mic, the particular sound quality of that mic wasn’t fully suited to this medium as it’s too muddy and is too much of a broadcast mic. The producer and co-director Thom Harp ran the sessions, he had to learn a lot of things on the fly, and he did an amazing job. I also want to mention that I had a lot of help with this side of things as I was not in all of the recording sessions, I mainly just designed them. Then, in post production all of this would be folded in with reverb, etc. So, I would ask them to record in a room that has lots of pillows in it, or a lot of carpet or I would get them to record in their closet, or to put up a blanket, all with the aim of trying to get as dead of a sound as possible. With regards to the recording environment, I asked everyone to record in what I would call a soft room. For example, TVshow Dramas are usually recorded on Boom or lavalier mics so the ear is used to hearing a thinner sound it is not used to hearing a big robust diaphragm condenser, it is more accustomed to hearing a thinner, mid-range sound. I am a huge proponent of using dynamic mics for this kind of stuff, as it is way more forgiving. We made sure that everyone was using the same mics so we got everyone to use an Audio Technica at2005 USB mic with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen(we initially just used the USB directly into the laptop, however, to reduce hiss we used it with a soundcard). To be completely honest, this part was very tricky. Doing it via Zoom allowed for this.įrom here, it would then be about how to go about making everyone sound like they were in the same room. As Dark Air with Terry Carnation is scripted and is a comedy - it is important for everyone to act as if they are responding to each other. So, first and foremost, the most important element is the energy between the actors. Musicngear: As everything was recorded remotely, how did you go about maintaining consistency between the voices, so that it wouldn’t sound like people were recording in separate rooms and environments? So, the process was, we would fire up Zoom, make sure everyone was recording, do a clap, and get each person to say the scene number, episode number, take number and their name, etc. The beauty of using this is that it records locally onto everyone's computer, it has a big red button for record and it is so straightforward and easy to use. So, there are some great web based interfaces and tools that are used for recording both sides of conversations (such as Squadcast, Riverside FM) however, we ended up not using these in this particular instance as they don’t record losslessly, and don't record the full bandwidth.Īmazingly, the simplest and most useful tool (especially for a non-technical person who has to record themselves) was Quicktime. It's an honest deserving score of only 6/10 from me.Eimear O Sullivan, Musicngear: Could you run us through the process of recording all of the actors remotely?Ĭhris Kelly: So, we used Zoom primarily to talk to each other with regards to the recording side of things I had to do a lot of troubleshooting in order to find the best and most straightforward way to do this remotely. Instead, I cringed at the cheesy 1 liners and poor attempt at humor - most executed at the wrong time. The 103 min length felt a little long, but the pacing good enough to keep you interested, although it was missing that constant extra thrill and suspense I expected. The writers needed to up this a few levels and not rely on Statham (who was great as always) to bring in the moviegoers into the theater. The story itself has been done so many times, making the shark prehistoric doesn't add anything to the imagination. The best parts were the cinematography, visuals and directing. Don't get me started on the moronic review from halil-92019: "Playing computer games makes kids smarter?" This film had it's moments, but it was nothing spectacular. All it takes is one click to see the only single review from the poster. 16 reviews, and half are all a fake high-rated single review of this film - makes me shake my head why the producers think their viewers are dumb and wont see thru the fakes.
