Tom, your attention to detail is pathological. Please never become a serial killer; or if you are one please stop being a serial killer. Oh, that explains the red shirt!
I love how, no matter how many times Tom does the 'speak softly to closeup mic' thing, Matt always flinches away at the last second. :p Also, that cut to the phone camera was beautifully done. :p
Matt does audio for a living. When somebody gets close to the mic he instinctively goes "oh no, that's too close" and moves it to a safe (but still close) distance.
Can I tell you a horror story? I'm an interpreter. Sometimes, people will start their conference speeches way too far from the mic or (horror!) with the mic off. They then compensate for that by suddenly getting very close and shouting. Often, we have turned out volumes up so we can try to hear. Going from whispering to very amplified shouting right into a mic is not nice. This is why we love sound engineers.
I thought that the title, "Matt doesn't film everything," meant that they sometimes do episodes without the camera on, for no reason. Hahaha! This makes a lot more sense😂
Wait, let me get this straight. In this video where you are talking about fixing errors in videos but retaining consistency, the camera actually died and you had to fix the error to retain consistency, that sounds way too coincidental for my liking.
OK, you've filmed here several times, and I've never asked before, but I just can't let it go any longer... Why does this enchanted forest set exist? What is it's intended use? Because most enchanted forests don't have electrical boxes on the walls and *huge windows opening onto a busy city street*. I'm guessing it's some sort of RU-vid show that I'm just unfamiliar with, but can anyone tell me what the set was built for?
Yes, it's RU-vid space, but that doesn't answer the question of what the set is useful for, as, yes, it doesn't look like it's actually an enchanted forest. Was the idea for some meta show where the set is made to look like a set? What RU-vid thing was that set up for?
Charles Yarnold Is this Tom Scott really small, or just small in perspective? **tom approaches, revealed to actually be massive** SMALL IN PERSPECTIVE, SMALL IN PERSPECTIVE!
hello. ... the best way to help fix the audio is to always record what we refer to as "Nat sound" around 20 seconds before & after any dialog ... then you have the right sound to mix in with a studio mike using eq. so you drop out just the right bits and mix in that background
It is absolutely amazing how clean that edit is on the telescope video. And even how seamless that cut was to Tom's Phone, I thought for a second you guys hid a GoPro somewhere just for that cut to prove your point. It also helps that the traffic in the window behind you is so terrible, because that black car was STILL in the same place between the cuts.
Every time I see your guys's faces it puts a smile on my face. I just love your friendship and personalities. Also living that 40 hour work week. Brothers unite?
When I saw the title of this video, I immediately went "Oh, Tomek must have done some of them as well!" It was meant as a joke, Tomek is the one of the only camera operators in RU-vid I know of. When Tom mentioned Tomek, it was a bit weird, tbh.
"Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) is the process of re-recording dialogue by the original actor after the filming process to improve audio quality or reflect dialogue changes (also known as "looping" or a "looping session")."
That was such a beautiful moment for the camera to die to give you a chance to do that. And so well done that i just assumed while matt had been talking you'd pulled out a camera to demonstrate this and i'd missed it.
You guys NEED to make a podcast. Seriously when I need to rest my eyes after working on the computer for a long time, I just throw on a random park bench video and listen to it with my eyes closed. The fact I do this is good enough proof this is quality entertainment haha
Coming back to this video five years too late to realise that I was quite literally in the building next door at the time while in my research days! Well. Glad to see CUBRIC got a well-deserved visit!
Officially ADR is Automated Dialog Replacement; yet in my experience most small film crators say Additional Dialog Recording. Also beautiful demonstration at 9:34!
6:40 Editing fun fact: It actually is Automated Dialogue Replacement - it's "automated" because you don't have to keep playing back a film reel of the footage where you're replacing the audio, like was done before computers. So it's automated, but not in the part of the process that's actually important.
Automated Dialogue Replacement, or, alternatively, Additional Dialogue Recording. I forget which is used in the UK vs the US and wherever, but it's a regional thing.
I know absolutely nothing about cameras, stabilization,ADR etc, but I still watch all of Matt and Tom's videos about that stuff. The one big reason I freaking love Tom is because I'm studying linguistics and he's a linguist. Plus Matt's sentence structure is absolutely fascinating for a person studying linguistics. #RelatableContent
By the title of the video, I thought it meant "Matt often forgets to press record, and some important bits of the video get completely lost, because Matt doesn't record everything"
I watched The Room from a bootlegged copy where the audio and video were about a second or so out of sync and honestly I think it was a better experience
Never noticed anything off with the telescope video. I'm happy Tom went to such extreme lengths of embarrassment to make it sound right, there is nothing worse than bad ADR.
As someone who records voice audio for fun... yep, matching audio is an absolute pain. Even if you're rerecording in the same place with the same equipment! It usually takes me multiple takes until I can match my voice reasonably well enough.
+Fiyaaah Correct me if I'm wrong but if they zoomed in the video using some fancy video editing software, it would make the overall quality not as great as the current output
what you do is get a "Clean" recording of the background in each location, and then you can filter it out, or add it in as you wish. doing so could have given you Arecibo hum over London audio.
Talking about audio/video edits, I use to watch Diggnation on Revision3 where they were on stage talking about something or other and said for the meat eaters to cheer and than the vegetarians to cheer. Thing is the video/audio guy was a vegetarian so they switched it so they cheered on the vegetarians part. He did add in subs saying "the magic of editing" or the like.
The A stood (note past-tense) for Automated because in the bad old days of film negatives and multitrack tape recorders the playback of the projected video loop (hence "looping") was automatically (and optically) synced to the audio track(s). It was looped to allow rapid re-takes without waiting for a projectionist to rewind the footage. However, since the advent of modern digital systems, the need for film interlocks has long gone. I suspect you would be hard pushed to find anyone but an industry veteran who regularly assumes anything other than "Additional" for the A in ADR. Given the act of continuously re-recording still happens, the nickname of looping is also still very much in use. And of course, should not be confused with Dubbing, where it is recorded over the top of final "Production Audio Mix" rather than one single channel from the original discrete tracks or stems.
I think it's amazing that you took the opportunity of the camera dying to show an example of a sneaky cut, right as you were talking about it. (Or you just said that the camera died to demonstrate it, there's no way for me to know for sure.)
filmed months ago? oh wow I'd love a video about how many videos you have on file/in production at once. I've always wondered how much youtubers backlog in order to maintain regular content incase of trips away/holidays/illness.
I suppose if Cubric invited you and had a good AV team, it makes sense they would do the video. I thought you always took your own gear so you could take out what you took in and keep it. However, as the results were outstanding, good on you.
