Sound is a stage you cannot afford to neglect – it needs to be handled with care. Like the picture, it is your raw material when making a film.
Sound recording: equipment and professional know-how
The quality of the sound recording also determines how much time will be needed in audio post-production to process it. Even though we now have powerful tools to fix sound issues, problematic recordings will require a lot of post-production time and often deliver, at best, an average result.
On the other hand, good-quality sound gives the mix every chance to enhance your scenes and images.
