A few years back, Brent Heber, Australian Audio Post guy and Pro Tools expert/advocate, put together a short 20 minute video discussing the common mistakes made by fresh filmmakers with regards to sound. He starts by touching on the basics like choosing locations and microphones, before moving on to considerations for sync, timecode, and workflow. People new to filmmaking often don’t understand the workflow or the knock on effects of their choices along the way. This video is a neat package that might be useful for filmmakers or students, and hits on all the common issues in a concise manner.
