Three Beeps System
"We use the three beeps system here at Savalas...", Iain's opening gambit to the start of each ADR session with an actor begins with a brief explanation of what they will hear in their 'cans'. Three beeps and then they begin talking, hopefully in sync with the picture on the screen.
Yesterday we had 3 of our cast in to re-do and in some cases re-invent some of their lines. We started with Sanjeev Kohli, a very well known Scottish actor and ADR veteran judging by the way things went.
As with all the cast we got some real gems but they didn't happen where I was expecting them.
Colin Harris was next up, followed by Camilla Rutherford. In both cases the covering of the original lines was a technical pursuit, trying to recreate the performance from the shoot and while interesting wasn't nearly as fun as discovering the stuff that we could add to enhance the shape of the film. This largely came in the form of laughs, breaths, sighs, coughs, audible shrugs and other minutae. This stuff was great fun to do and it was a real pleasure to be afforded the opportunity to do this level of detailed work.
Many thanks to all involved:
Cast:
Colin Harris, Sanjeev Kohli and Camilla Rutherford.
Technical:
Recordist: Iain Anderson; Sound Designer: Douglas MacDougall; Voice Coach: Ros Stein
The last person I would like to thank is Joe, the night security guard at Film City Glasgow, who very kindly allowed us to interrupt his rounds to come and do a line that I hadn't put in the script. The line covers a security guard at the end of the film - a nice authentic touch we thought, and a great voice.
NB There will be a few crap photos to follow, I promise.
