As a professional sound mixer, I want to add one thing: we tend to be happy to share what we do with anyone asking. Sound is a great way to get into the film industry.
I'm utterly in love with sound! I'm not a professional but I've been trying to get into sound effects for the past year or so and it is one of the most rewarding things. Also this channel needs an Oscar ASAP!! Amazing job!
This channel not only teach me sound mixing in a wonderful way it finally made me understand musical concepts all in 15 mins. You guys are from outer space
This is so important. On my second film we had a great sound guy and I learned so much what an art it is. Then sound design in post production adds so much to the film. It's one of the things that makes an indie feel higher budget.
i don't know if i am early but i am 18 years old boy trying to write his script i wanna thank you for all the videos you uploaded specially that one about writting plot twist thank you studiobinder
Sound, and sound crew, is unglamorous, but vital. Once driving to set in a remote location, my GPS failed me, and I got seriously lost. I had to call the producer to get directions. I hated to be late, but you know what? Without the sound crew, absolutely nothing gets shot. So there.
It is so important to learn about filmmaking, not just as an art form or a pop culture phenomenon, but also the science and technical aspects of it. It is just as fascinating, perplexing, and interesting to see the actual filmmaking process of it. The journey of making movies is as much about the story of how the film was made, with the story being told on screen.
Really enjoyed this video! I never realized how complex the process of recording sound for film was. The explanations of different sound terms, equipment, and roles were clear and easy to follow. It's amazing how much attention to detail goes into capturing high-quality audio. Thank you for sharing your expertise and making it accessible to everyone!
Okay, I have been avoiding watching this latest lesson because SOUND is very daunting for some filmmakers. But very important as it is said and known, Sound is 50% of a movie. I appreciate the bite-sized breakdowns of the Sound Lesson and as always I appreciate the STUDIOBINDER for their lessons. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Now if you don't mind, I will have to watch this lesson a few more time until Sound becomes second nature!!!
StudioBinder’s timing is scary I just came home from a meeting with the sound designer of my short movie, and we were talking about the best ways to record sound in order to make sound design easier
This is a great video for catching up everyone else on set with what is happening in the audio department. My only critique is with calling 48k "good" vs 96k being great at 192k being Superb. 48k is going to be absoultely great audio for just about any scenario, it wasn't arrived at by accident but was a very deliberate choice. The higher sample rates come in handy in situations of sound design/manipulation but if you're not messing with that there will be zero benefit to you to record at the higher rates. All you'll get is a more full hard drive at the end of your day. Same goes for bit-depth, 16bit is still considered "CD Quality" sound, although most people do work at higher bit-rate now you wont be "losing" anything by recording at "only" 16 bit.
Exactly. Most gear, even consumer gear, will record at 24 bit, 48k. Dialog is not super demanding. 32 bit float is rapidly becoming standard, though, on even consumer gear.
Be aware that 16 bit is only good enough if you record with perfect dynamics, which is never the case. 24 bit or 32 bit float audio is the equivalent of shooting in RAW.
Great video!! Just what I needed. There's a lot of confusion on this subject and everybody who works in sound for film thinks they know every damn thing (and often they don't). This clears a lot of that confusion, so thank you guys!
Your channel is a film school all by itself! Please keep making this type of videos. Please do a video on J2K conversions and Theatrical video formats too if possible with detailed explanation. Like how many sound channels does it support, what will be size of it like this. Thank you.
Exactly!! That is what I always say: Sound is the most important part of video :) I always add that I might be biased coming from a sound background :)
This is a very good and easy to follow explanation for someone like myself who has gotten recently into the audiophile scene and have gotten very confused with terms such as Sample Rate, Bit Depth or any of the technical audio stuff as I have learning disabilities and a low I.Q., but I found it very easy to understand, thank you Studio Binder for this.
The day i will win the Oscars, i will make a shout out for you guys. You're really gearing up for my project, though i haven't yet found the producer or an agent to bring it to life, still in search. Wish me lucky.❤ much from Zambia, Africa.❤🇿🇲
I used to go to schools on 'career day' and as part of it, I taught about the element of sound. I played a scene from Lord of the Rings as is then asked, 'Do you know this movie and did it do well?' Their answers were as one would expect. I then asked, what if the director treated the sound without the attention to detail that the rest of the film got? Then I played the same scene but I had replaced the music with a piece that didn't make sense, SFX that were distracting, and I even added the helicopter sound back into the wide, over-head shot. They laughed and everyone got the point; sound matters. Good times.
As a sound recordist, I am vitally interested in this. It's a good distillation of the pricess, probably too heavy on big budget productions. Someone doing local indie productions will often be a one-man band, and operate out of a sound bag. Another thing to mention os even a beginner recordist might have $5,000 and up equipment he's had to purchase to even get started in the business.
I know this is a long shot but if y’all ever do anything about choreography, can y’all do a segment discussing Terry Notary? He has done lots for the film industry as a stunt man and teaching others. He is the one who has taught people how to play apes, and he has played apes.
He does voice over and uses a sound isolation booth and a very expensive large condenser microphone is my bet. Search on voice-over recording for more info. (You can do voice-over on the cheap by using a shotgun mic and putting a towel over your head. Also use a pop filter. We did that on a student film, lol.)
Single system is not about the sound being recorded "directly onto the camera", but sound recorded simultaneously with picture onto the same medium. You point that dual system is better because a microphone can be placed close to a source is misleading: you can feed sound from an external microphone into the camera and record it along with the picture, and it will constitute a single system.
If you are mentioning sampling rate and bit depth, you should at least hint how to choose a fitting one. In particular, sampling rate should be at least twice as high as the highest frequency you want to reproduce, meaning it should be 40 kHz or more. You may want to use higher sampling rate to either capture wider frequency range for dogs and dolphins to enjoy your movie as well, or to employ a less steep low-pass filter, which means fewer aliasing. As for bit depth, in case of linear pulse-code modulation one bit is equal to 6 dB of S/N ratio, so 8 bits is enough for FM radio quality, 12 bits is equal to good vinyl, 16 bits is close to human pain threshold. Philips originally wanted to use 14 bits for CD. Using more than 16 bits is overkill, but storage is cheap nowadays. Oh, and please use correct units, not "khz", but "kHz", meaning "thousand of Hz".
It seems like a boom operator must also be physically fit. Maintaining the boom pole's level at all times must be a pain in the neck. Man, sound recording is an actual math.
There are ways around it. Most important, never, ever buy an aluminum boompole. Carbon fiber is the best. Do. Not. Skimp. On. This!!! Second, you don't often have to hold the pole over both shoulders. Also, the make holders for boompoles that attach to a C stand. This works well for sitdown interviews.
You say that the shotgun mic mainly pics up sound from where it is pointed. True, but then you show the pickup pattern, which clearly shows that a shotgun mic also picks up a good deal of sound from the back, which means that one should be careful not to produce noise directly behind the mic. Also, you mentioned decibels, but did not explain what is it. Seriously, so many technical issues with this video - either explain the technicalities thoroughly or don't mention them at all. For example, in case of the pickup pattern, you did not have to mention decibels, the pretty picture is enough to reflect the directionality pattern.
Soundrecordist here: yes, that's one of the problems you have to deal with. There are a number of ways to avoid rustling of clothes. I can give only a few examples, because every film is different - so the challenges vary with costumes. One way is to tape the lavalier directly to the actors chest, where there is a little dent in the sternum (always ask for consent first!) - so there is a gap between the mic an the clothing. Another way is to tape a little bit of fur (or other concealers designed for this, there are a number of companies specialized for sound-equipment) on top of the mic and tape down the surrounding clothing to minimize movement of fabric. It's an artform to hide the mics and still record as cleary as possible. Thats why it's so important to have a good working relationship with the costume department and do some testing before shooting. There is much more to this, but to give you an idea.
LOL. Heck yes, and that why I have grey hair. And less of it. There are techniques to use to generally eliminate clothing rustle. Curtis Judd is a sound TH-camr who has several videos on placing a lav mic.
Hello Studiobinder friend，I'm a youtuber from China, your video about filmmaking is so great,really appreciate your work. I'm wondering if I can use some of your material in my video? maybe some short clips, I 'll translate into Chinese, not your whole video, just some clips and of course I'll tell the story in my own words, and also, I'll put the links of the video I referenced, including your channel link. At the end of my video, I'll share your channel to my followers, let them know if they really interested in filmmaking, they can check on your channel. Forgive my shabby English, really looking forward to your reply! Thanks!🙏🙏🙏
Of course! We obviously borrow and credit a lot of different sources in our videos so just make sure you credit those clips as well. You'll find our credits in the description and if you need help, let us know!
2:14 - the unit abbreviation is "Hz", not "hz", and "k" is not a unit but a one thousand multiplier - 20k means 20,000, but 20,000 of what? You should have written "kHz", not just "k".
@@StudioBindercompare to the first 13. Ive got a list these are so good! Also, your Shotlist playlist has "the ultimate" videos in it. My ADHD feathers are ruffled. 😊
Im surprised that in low budget stuff people dont just decide to give everyone a lav and say screw it as far as hiding them. It'd be an easy way to get way better sound on a tight budget, and I think the audience would eventually forget they were there (the ones who noticed them in the first place}. Id rather watch a film where every actor had a lav than one that sounded crappy.
Not true. A shotgun or pencil mic ALWAYS sounds better. It's physics. Bigger does mean better. In mic sizes, too. As mentioned, clothing rustle will ruin a shot. Shotgun or small condenser mics (for indoor work) are the gold standard, and don't make that kind of noise. Lavs are omni directional, and can Pic up extraneous sound. Shotguns are much more directional. I do almost always use both lavs and a boom. I like giving the editor a choice of sound. You can also do like the did in the old days, and hide a mic in a plant ot vaise.
This is a great reminder of how filmmaking is a marriage between art, science, and technology.
Well said
💯
Beautifully put!
Couldn’t agree more.
Does that mean they doing threesome?
Or poligamy?

Great work. Sound is usually the least thought of, but most noticeable element of production.
Well said! And 100% true.
Sound, and sound crew, is unglamorous, but vital.
Once driving to set in a remote location, my GPS failed me, and I got seriously lost. I had to call the producer to get directions.

As a MSTie I can fully appreciate that Birddemic clip at the end! 😂
I’ve always enjoyed bad movies because they teach you what NOT to do 🤣
I watched one of those Shark Tornado rip-off films, and the sound was not good. Bad sound immediately takes you out of a film.
All due respect to the Birdemic filmmakers but yeah there is just as much to learn from "bad movies" as there is from "good movies."
Awesome. Can we get that flowchart as a download describing various roles in filmmaking?
Thank youuuuuuu STUDIOBINDER 💕

BTW what mic set up and settings is the narrator using to get such crisp sound？
Let us ask our engineer. We record in a professional studio so we'll get back to you.
He does voice over and uses a sound isolation booth and a very expensive large condenser microphone is my bet.

As mentioned, clothing rustle will ruin a shot. Shotgun or small condenser mics (for indoor work) are the gold standard, and don't make that kind of noise. Lavs are omni directional, and can Pic up extraneous sound. Shotguns are much more directional.
I do almost always use both lavs and a boom. I like giving the editor a choice of sound. You can also do like the did in the old days, and hide a mic in a plant ot vaise.
@@StudioBinderCurtis Judd and others have whole episodes on placing lavs.
Sorry, but the picture at 3:04 with Good, Great, Superb is nonsense.
We appreciate the feedback but could you elaborate?
