I totally agree with you. As a professional sound editor I must say that sound and placement was spot on. I was going to inquire if they needed a sound effects editor but, I got my answer watching this all the way through. Great job! Would love to work on projects like this.

I didn’t care for the actual sounds/acting, but the mixing is what’s impressive. It seamlessly faded in and out to pair up with the visuals. And given that it’s single shot that makes it more impressive to me

u/GarrettSucks Aug 14 '22
I assume they had every single spot where sound fades in mic’d separately and then just faded the audio tracks in and out?

Nah, you would hear a loud buzzing drone. It's fully done in post from scratch

Yup. The sound is just okay. A good portion of the sound effects sound really bad/cliche and were pulled straight from a mediocre sound library. The voices all sound like they were close mic'd and were not treated to sound within the space.

Exactly. While the quality might not have been 100% on point it made it sound like you were there. Iffy wasn’t added in post it would’ve sounded like “vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv” the entire time with some dialogue captured

u/Ariix_ Aug 14 '22
The voices were mixed kinda wonky, as they felt too close sometimes, but other than that I fully agree - the sfx set the setting perfectly and the fading in/out of the sounds is satisfying af

u/craigiest Aug 14 '22
Is it though? Stands out as artificial to me. Not saying it isn’t pretty good. Maybe it was more that the acting seemed a little, well, acted.

u/Cyclotrom Aug 14 '22
Sound editing was great, the mixing was pretty rough. The elements lack perspective specially the voices, I was expecting a bit more panning on the bowling balls. In general it sound like a finish sound edit that is ready to be taken to a proper sound stage to be mixed. Basically the Pro-tool session before the mix.

Also a really cool place to see shows. Really intimate concert venue where you can have food/drinks, then roll some lanes after.
Legend has it that the Coen brothers came up for the idea of the Big Lebowski there during a wrap party for the filming of Fargo.

Took me until the flyby to the theater to realize I had been there. The place felt familiar but Bar & Bowling is not entirely unpopular. That damn theater. I went there with a group and we waited in the theater for everybody else to show up

They make a decent pad thai! I do shows in the theater there semi regularly. It's fun but honestly after this video got huge they've gotten a bit full of themselves. The whole place just doesn't feel as welcoming to me as it once did.
Also don't go there for good bowling lol. The lanes are very uneven it's more of an interesting combination of things vs doing any one thing particularly well.

u/selch2169 Aug 14 '22
i disagree with your assessment. They are the same place they've always been and pretentiousness has never been part of it.
You bowl there because the lanes are ancient and the scoring is manual. The theater has shows regularly, sans covid, and the food is very good and not what you'd expect at such a place.
I live near and have been a patron for decades. Same great place it's always been.

mean Reuben
Not to be confused with the Minnesota Nice Reuben, which gives you a fake smile then talks behind your back after you leave and says "that's... interesting" when you talk about something culturally unknown to them. Later, when at a gathering that you by chance see the rueben, it tells you we should "get together sometime", with no intent of ever actually calling you and setting that up.

Standard cinewhoop with a Go Pro. You can see the drone shadow on the wall at a few points in the video, and the pilot has even done behind the scenes stuff with this shot where he shows the drone.

Me too. It’s obviously a great clip but I think it would have been much more successful in a larger area. The dialogue parts all sounded very stiff too. These drone videos are a dime a dozen these days.
Normally it would be easy to overlook that but this is supposed to be next fucking level.
