Sounds of a dying Prophet

Posted by Liam Andrew Wright on 08:01 in , , , ,
So we're at that late stage in post-production where all the little things are finally coming together. Last weekend 3 of the prophetic musketeers were reunited for the first time in a year and a half to rerecord the opening narration of the film along with a few choice pieces of ADR dialogue.

Senor Sound Mike and Rich were collected from various locations around the outskirts of Manchester in various states of being and brought to a hidden location near the centre of the earth for the most secretive of sound recordings.

Below we have some surveillance footage from the bunker where Rich was kept hostage for over 10 hours recording the same lines of dialogue again and again until the damn little monkey got it right!



As scared and innocent as he may look, this prophet is one wily cat! We tried all sorts of torture methods but he just wouldn't give in. At one point he even tried to hit us back. Below is a photo depicting Rich attempting to take poor Sound Mike's life with what we can only assume is a boat motor. Where he ripped this motor from we do not know. We were hundreds of miles underground and days from the closest sea or lake. I imagine he ripped it from a passing vessel on our trip to the secret underground bunker and kept it hidden under his shirt for days. He is a master of disguise it seems.




Had it not been for the pocket can of tear gas the massacre Rich could have swept across the nation could have been catastrophic! However, after he calmed down, we managed to finally get his to do some work. The following video illustrates the tough, regimented, strict atmosphere in which we were working.




We eventually let Rich out of the bunker after Stockholm Syndrome really kicked in and we no longer feared for our lives. We ventured into the light and set about recording the few bits of ADR that were required. Namely, Rich having a fit of the floor and him shouting FUCK at the top of his lungs. A civilised ADR session began as I'm sure you can imagine.

All is forgiven!

All that is left is for us to show you some insider footage of the dialogue from Ex Cathedra. Below is a video with exclusive content including actual dialogue from the film. These were the lines we required Rich to rerecord. After months of filmming and pages of dialogue to memorise it is always understandble that some bit will need recording again. Rich had a lot of difficult dialogue and monologues. Here is the ADR session.
