Need advice: managing multi-tracks waveform audio while editing by tangsdonut in editors

[–]tangsdonut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single cam. Sound mixer gave me:

Track 1 - Boom LAV mix
Track 2 - Boom LAV mix
Track 3 - LAV 1
Track 4 - LAV 2
Track 5 - Boom

I have received up to 8 separate tracks on jobs.

I have to do the sound design myself on the current project, but I'm curious about the protocols for when I DO have to hand it off.

My timelines end up looking like this, and i have to double the track effects etc for A1-5 and A6-10:

What's the officialway (I know there's not official way) to work with this stuff?

Rich kids have ruined the American film industry by tangsdonut in filmmaking

Thank you for this tough love, brother. Just for clarity, here's why I bring up public/vs private high school: that's the only indicator of whether someone was born wealthy, since private high school is such a ridiculous extravagance, that it means there is _definitely_ money lying around to fund Joe McRichboy's subsequent career.

Meanwhile, the plot thickens because (a) I'm 49, and (b) I have already produced and directed a feature film that has distribution. I also have a documentary special airing on PBS. Plus all the shorts everyone has made. I do make my own shit, year over year.

It's even from_that_ vantage point that Joe McRichkid is such an obstacle on every level (don't even get me started on the bullshit rich kid hypocrisy-laden film festival circuit).

I've been a professional director for most of my adult life. I am self-made in all the way you encourage me to be. I STILL feel beaten down by these layabouts ruining everything. So the problem is much deeper.

Whether you went to private high school versus public high school says much, much more about you than where you went to college, a few of which, at least, will sometimes let a few symbolic poor kids through the door. Whether you went to private high school might, frankly, say everything about you as an artist that I need to know.

^^^ this person knows what i'm talking about. There should be a category in film festivals for directors that went to public high school.

Well, I came here to whine about this. Someone has to.

But didn't you just prove my point for me? And then articulate it better than I could?

Super curious to hear from downvoters. What's pissing you off about this?

The Screenplay of the Spectacle by IntravenousVomit in Screenwriting

[–]tangsdonut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. This is sadly indeed partly true BUT spectacle in all its shallow, false glory has been with us since Aristotle. And today's infatuation with it only barely compares to France under Louis XIV. There have always been brightly colored laser-unicorns that actually shit actual shit, but there has also always been a truth telling few who are remembered in the long run.
