Sound

We all know how important getting good sound is when making a film, well I found a blog article that covers this subject quite nicely:

The blurb:

"If you are making an independent film on a miniscule budget it is
inevitable that some aspect of your movie will be compromised due to your lack
of funds. The ultimate challenge for an independent filmmaker working with a
shoestring budget is to some how make their movie look and sound like it
deserves to be with the big boys on the film festival circuit."

Hi everyone,

This being a site dedicated to video, I would like to share with you all a project I have been working on.

Whether you're an avid online video viewer, extraordinary blogger in the field, or a content creator, I would personally like to invite you to visit the Pea Bee project at:

http://www.peabee.com/

The online video player (see the "Green Generator" in the blog) allows you to pull content from a variety of video hosting sites and display it on your own site or blog. All content is seamlessly mixed so the experience is more that of a video channel rather than that of a single, isolated clip.

It's fully skinnable, has many options, and is constantly under development to enable you to better create a showcase for your work or video you want to share with the community.

The software is centrally hosted (nothing for you to install), completely free (now and into the future), backwards compatible (your old video will continue to work with new versions), and very easy to use.

Now is the best time to get involved and show your support. Version 2 is just around the corner and your ideas, feedback, and support are both crucial and greatly appreciated.

This type of software may not be for everyone but if it sounds like something you may want to use, I hope to see you there!

Sincerely,
Patrick B.

P.S. Of particular interest to readers of this blog may be the compression article series "Flash Video Bootcamp" in the blog where I discuss preparation of video for online usage. While the focus is clearly on Flash video, many of the concepts apply to all video that will eventually be used online.

sounds is often see as useless on film, but it's making half of an "audio"-visual creation.
Try a good sound editor.. you will not regret this.
congratulations for this great blog.
