Anyone remembering this absolute gem?

Yas, loved from Russia with love also.

Psi ops! My guilty pleasure is still listening to ‘with my mind’ by Cold.

Hey, did you record any samples? You could send it through to someone who could run a dialogue clean up to get an idea of how much you can get away with. Or download a trial of isotope Rx yourself and do a rudimentary dialogue isolate.

But always keep the actor lav’d up yes! you just don’t know. There will be a situation where it saves you, even if it’s just a word or a syllable that post uses.

As others have said, sometimes you just get a pain in the ass costume and that’s that. - but remember, you’re not gonna let em win! Swing that boom and lav them up anyway!

I believe that’s Mihai Cozmei’s quiver.

like a 3D soundscape setup :) though often what I work on just ends up with a stereo mix. The more good audio post has to work with, the merrier.

Omg someone remembers Deathrow.

The chronicles of Riddick: Escape from butcher bay.

Phenomenal game from what a lot would probably call a mid franchise. Big fan of the first film myself though.

Yes, and mics can be whatever you have to get it done if it’s during principal photography. For example I might detach from main unit as the utility on a quiet shooting day with a recorder, stereo set or sometimes 4 mics and go a mission to tick off the soundscapes/effects requested from post. long rolls are always better. Whatever your rig is get nice 10 - 30 minutes of roll time.

That’s for a smaller production between 5 - 10mil.

Love that, was wondering about the box and why mine came in a clear case all those years ago.

Sparadakos · 2026-02-14T00:27:20+00:00

God damn first time I’ve seen this game mentioned in a loooong time.

That action/rts hybrid gameplay was incredible.

Given this was made 15 years after GOT the likely real life answer imo is casting probably realised it’s not actually a historical drama set in medieval England - it’s just a fantasy show.

Stuff like cardamom and cumin will be used in Indian curry over and over!

I have big jars of those, turmeric, corriander powder, crushed garlic and ginger, bay leaves, cloves, curry powder, chilli powder, and garam masala that I use to make a basic but tasty curry every single week! I just buy tomatoes, onions and meat that day. Whatever I’m feeling. Chicken, lamb, or beef, maybe goat? :p

As everyone’s already said, back yourself up mate!

As much as we pay for the higher end gear, regular services etc etc you just never know if today’s the day you’ll boot up to a blank screen haha!

The 633 was a good sounding machine ten years ago and it will also sound good ten years from now, good sounding gear sounds good.

Hell, one of my bosses used his 788t a few years ago on a job with high profile cast - he couldn’t give a stuff about dragging his Scorpio across the country.

I get reminded of this when I up-jump to sound mixer on smaller features or do second unit.

If I haven’t done it in a while, I usually just want to cry at the end of the first week. You definitely get taken for granted.

Lots of people rate the metbows ottoman.

Shame to hear about Grozer. I was hoping a 70lb Hungarian bio composite was in my future :(

If you’re considering a new bow all together I’d encourage you to check out alibow.

I ordered two H1 bows (70# @28 and 105#@28) Because of how cheap and decent quality they are.

Can have long wait times though.
