the Hell that is known as Sound Sync....
Oh.... my.... God....
The one thing that I have not had to deal with ever is sound sync on a film. It might be because I have always synced directly into the camera and had a back up, but this time, I decided to do sound separately, just like the pros tend to do it....
Let me tell you... syncing sound is the work of the devil. I'm about 240 shots in with another 50 or so more to go.... and my mind is going to mush and the ears feel like running away and hiding for a month. It's not because of the actors... their performance is the ones that are making this entire ordeal somewhat enjoyable...
It is watching their lips frame by frame trying to sync the sound together so that it doesn't look like a badly dubbed Asian action film.
I figure that in about three hours I'll be done and I'll be able to assemble a rough cut in a day or so. Wish me luck!
Below is a screen cap of my computer staring at Final Cut Pro HD wondering what I did to make it suffer with me syncing sound.
