SPL of a movie theatre
Not just commercials. I was viewing the commercially-released
DVDs of the first season of "Numb3rs" and some of the dialog,
particularly interior scenes (in the FBI office, etc.) is unusually
mushy. It is almost as if they were merely recording a "guide track"
with the intention of ADR, and then decided to save money and
not do the ADR after all.
I just noticed something like this when I rented
the The Da Vinci Code on DVD. Couldn't
hardly understand the dialog in some cases because
the volume was low and seemed not very
distinct.
In the bonus sections they showed some behind-the-scenes
and I noticed that the boomed mic was 6-8 feet off
the characters when they were engaging in dialog.
Isn't it hard to get crisp dialog with the mic that far
off?
