Last Shot

Short Film

For this project, our job with sound, was to help tell the story of a former pro basketball player, who stumbles upon old memorabilia that leads him back into his passion for the game.

skills provided: production sound, sound design, foley, mix/master

GEAR

For a low budget film with no dialogue, we took a simple approach. We rigged an all-in-one set-up which allowed us to follow the character throughout scenes and grab foley sound effects on the run.

Above is an NTG4+ Shotgun microphone, K-Tek Avalon Series Boom Pole, and a Tascam DR-40 attached by a GkGk Articulating Friction Magic Arm.

ENVIRONMENT

The primary task in post was to eliminate any unwanted noises or distractions and recreate a soundscape more desirable to the story-line. In the scene below we battled airplanes flying over and constant street noise. Even though there was no dialogue, the original audio was used as a placeholder as sync points for foley.
