During the Shoot
|
| Sound Timecode |
| |
Make sure that all production sound is
recorded with Non-Drop Frame (NDF) timecode on the DAT or Nagra 1/4" tapes.
Without timecode, your audio conforming will take a painfully
long time. If you've already shot your film without timecode on your
sound rolls,
you can still have them transferred to new sound rolls with
timecode. This does cost extra money, however. Then, use these new
sound rolls
for your telecine and your final mix. |

1/4" Nagra tape vs. DAT tape: Most telecine operators will recommend
that you use 1/4" Nagra tape for your principle sound tapes, and
use DAT for your backup tapes. In general, DAT is harder to work with
during telecine. If you request 1/4" Nagra for your principle tapes,
most production sound mixers will be glad to oblige. |
| Picture Slates |
| |
It is a good idea to make sure that each and every take is being visually
slated with a unique scene and take number to avoid duplicate slating.
Duplicate slating can cause confusion not only for the negative cutter,
but for yourself as well. A gentle reminder to the person assigned to
the clapper usually assures this. |
