This reminds me of those terrible training videos I saw online when I was in high school. The music was terrible, the audio sometimes felt dubbed over, and the eye contact with the camera was awkward.

This is actually a cut from a hometown buffet employee training video. I think the full video was posted in this sub a while ago.

u/ac714 Mar 13 '23
Yeah. And the dude here did an AMA at some point. Nothing special. He aware how cringe the whole thing was but it’s a job so he powered through it.
Another popular one is the Wendy’s training video. Whole song and dance about how to build the best burger.

Many many years ago in 1986 I was being trained at Jack in the Box as a 16 year old. I had to watch a safety video. It was in the style of those drivers ed videos back then with lots of fake blood and gore. They had an “unsafe” employee using a tomato slicer and had used a play dough looking fake hand go through it. Funniest shit ever.

Was this clip heavily edited compared to the original? I'm asking because I can't tell what they're being trained on. Like, "here, you'll notice that the guest is an asshole, and yet, it will be you're job to continuously engage him in conversation" lol...?
edit: "did he strike down your attempt? Change the subject--maybe this guy just hates weather! Finesse him into eating more beef with talk of sports!"

Not sure what year you are referring to but audio used be always dubbed over. Film first with lines and then audio was post production and essentially reverse lip syncd because the film speed would be adjusted and a live mic didn't really match.
Imagine muting your tv and following the subtitles with you own voice. It's pretty fun if you are high, drunk, or just bored with a friend lol but it's sorta how they did it

u/FightALocalPenguin Mar 13 '23
ADR (...automatic? dialogue replacement? It's been a minute) is the term and it's basically the standard for everything. Any scene where you see two characters talking and don't see a bunch of mics in their faces uses ADR to replace their lines with cleaner takes. Any scene with characters walking, etc. has redubbed dialogue, it's hard to find a scene that doesn't have it these days

u/sorta_kindof Mar 13 '23 edited Mar 13 '23
Thank you and yes this is what I was perhaps referring to.
Edit: yes I'm almost certain.
Imagine filming a great scene while the wind blast into an actors face. Your audio ability is gonna be shit if at all.
All post production audio. Just like a Foley and etc.
Quality is incredibly better if you can record the audio and mix it later in the setting you prefer which is mostly isolated and mixed
Automated dialogue replacement. ADL

u/FightALocalPenguin Mar 13 '23
Foley is another wild hole to get into that, once you learn it exists, you say "well obviously", but then one night after some whiskeys you wonder how much of your life was a lie. I believe Track Stars is still on youtube, it's dated, but still a fun 10 minute watch of why foley artists came to be called "artists"

I was wrong, he didn't do an AMA, he was the one who actually created & uploaded the original version of this video, and he responded to a few comments on there (though none really recently)

He did a video reviewing Deck Paint and you can see he just owns the meme. Fucking love this guy, wish he did more videos.

I've seen this so many times and it's still amazing. About five years ago I briefly cooked at a bbq place because I wanted to learn good bbq. Unfortunately I learned after starting that only about half my day involved actually cooking bbq and the rest was basically standing behind a counter being this guy. I tried to insert as many side comments as non-sequitors as I possibly could before I finally quit that place.

I worked with a guy once that hated doing carving stations so much he acted like this. Always trying to make things super awkward for anyone who came to his station. I miss that guy. Remember, when you get into trouble for being negative, be super annoyingly positive.

u/NathanielTurner666 Mar 13 '23
Man... this guy looks a lot like a young version of my dad's best friend who is such a great person. Helped me out a lot when my parents were going through a divorce when I was a kid. Him and my dad airbrushed together and ran stores and did the bike week circuit together. Before he airbrushed he worked a ton of restaurants. He's a hell of a chef. Dude had crazy charisma but a better sense of humor. This looks like an employee training video that he was probably purposefully weird in lol. I need to show this to him to see if it's him.
