How to Record Engine Sounds for Hollywood Action Films 

"Always bring 3-4 sound guys in case you go through a few of them when you're recording" 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for saying that everything needs to be slated. I was on a student film where they got annoyed that I wanted to do that. (I stood my ground and got what I wanted, but always great to be able to refer to a true professional how it should be done). Ps. do you have any tips on how to record heavy breathers? It's a lot of work to sit through editing trying to edit out all that panting manually.

Loved this! Thanks for the tips! I’ll likely be seen today holding my boom with a ride blimp out my window… seems safe.

I love the detail to attention in film sound recording. It shows just how much effort is needed to get that fantastic movie theatre sound. Many thanks. I can’t wait to get out with a recorder and try those ideas out now for myself!

Alex! This was a really fun video to watch. That all looks like so much fun, especially the rock-backstop, dust-inhaling, hat-burning, ruin-your-gear stuff... SO fun! Kidding aside, I wish I were a bit younger when I started getting into videography! Being able to do this for a living would be a dream job for sure! Thanks for all your sharing of your insights. Avid watcher of your videos. Thank Potato Head! 😉😆

Funny, that guy didn't look like he lived in the Desert. 😂

How often is your vehicle related sound ruined by your screams of terror? Or do you have a notch filter for that?

lol I have been on both... I am not the least bit envious. 😹😹😹

This was great! So many things I hadn’t considered when I’m out recording. Thanks for sharing this

Excellent ep. -- it's like deja vu all over again!

Great vid on 🎬🎙, love the BTS, look forward to being able to "hear" about the movie when the NDA lifts. (And good drone work in PJ's video 😜)

HalfLife 2 Buggy! +++ 😍😍😍

Hi Alex, great video. Was wondering if you can put together a video about mixing vocal/narration with background music.

I like this kind of content. On field or actual.

Wow that's and a great BTS. Thanks for sharing your experience! I have some ideas/questions for future episodes =) Could you please share your top 10 most used equipment? Do you have any tips for "beginner kit" for indy style SFX/solo recordist? The recorder is the easiest part to choose (sound devices 3/6/10ii) but the hardest are mics. What mics kit/set would you pick for an essential indy kit?

Fascinating, and very cool. Thanks!

A bit of an off topic, what is the right order to improve voice ? EQ first and compression second ? or compress first and then EQ ? Thanks alex great videos.

awesome sharing this detailed! love your channel

Great video !

How do you choose what mic capsule to use in the stereo pair? The most common stereo sets are cardioids but when do you consider to use the Omni capsules? I have an Audio Technica AT4053B Hypercardioid for indoor recording. Now I have an idea to buy used Audio-Technica AT4049b Omni ($400) and to order directly from AT (2x$250) matching cardioid capsules (by serial #). That way I can have 2 mics with 2x cardioids 1 omni and 1 hyper-cardioid capsules under 1500$ total cost. Could you advise on a stereo mics wind protection? Rycote BBG Windshield can be used only for ORTF but what to use with XY? XY Only possible with compact mics and Rycote Stereo Cyclone XY?

Please tell us what is the movie

What were you using as wind protection for the lav mics? Just the Rycote overcovers?

Subscribed! Awesome video.

I have a question alex, my office forescent lights make a very strong noise any idea how to remove that in psot ? Thank you

What mics were used for the stereo exhaust?

My takeaway is that the gopro mic is actually quite good for its size

Fast Cars Movie hmmm, so I Vin Diesel hard to work with??? :)

potato jet sent me here.

If it can't be fixed with gaff tape it can't be fixed😂😂😂
