Owen Shirley Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Hi there, I'm a freelance sound editor and I've got a project coming up that includes a lot of footage of a paramotor in flight. I can't find an existing library of sound effects featuring paramotors, so it looks like we'll have to make our own. I thought this might be a good place to post a request and ask if anyone within driving distance of Bristol, where I'm based, would be up for doing a recording session somewhere? I can't offer a fee, but would be happy to cover expenses and pay for lunch in return. If this interests anyone, please feel free to drop me a line. My name is Owen Shirley, email- owengshirley@gmail.com, phone 07947 576998. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattMc Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I assume you have already booked a pilot for the filming work. Am I being deft by asking why you dont capture the audio at that time? Not being a smart arse, Im genuinely interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To explain, firstly the footage has already been shot. However, most cameras don't come with built in microphones, and those that do are usually of very poor quality. So nearly all of the sound that you hear on a film or TV program is added during the editing process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who'd shoot paramotors without sorting out audio at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's daft to not record audio in the first place as you've still got to go out and get the audio afterwards (like the OP has to). On a more positive note, I have paramotor audio Owen is welcome to if he still needs it, mostly from video shot at fly-ins and recorded on decent mics.

Blackburn Mark Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 There are plenty of reasons for missing out on usable audio, maybe the camera guy was using an old D5 mk1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
