Sound Designers

It all came from that the sound would have to carry a lot of the scenes when not to much happened. I paned a lot of the dialog in the hectic scenes. It might not seem like a big deal but for those who knows it is. Usually we mix foley and dialog up the center cone.

When you pan dialog, now the air drone that the dialog is married to paned to the left which would leave a hole in the center so then I had to sneak in another fill in the center. I also needed to fill in with bg’s to fill in all sides otherwise the right side would seem empty. Then the foley needed to follow as well. Which mean I needed to shoot more foley other wise there would be nothing in the center or where ever the other character were on screen. I also did not really let anything sit still in the mix. I swiped EQ’s, rode the fader volume up even with simple bg’s to get a more dynamic and changing mix.
