4. Re: Movie soundscapes

["dobroide" dobroide]

Hi all,

reading this thread, a comment made time ago by a painter friend came
to my mind. According to him, a very deep shade of purple is often
used in paintings to depict 'darkness', rather than black... I think
this may apply somehow to sound and images.

Don't take me wrong, I'm not condoning sloppy sound production in
movies, just wanted to point out that many times what matters is the
impression/effect on the audience. The way this effect is obtained is
secondary to the guy creating  the fiction. So despite being a sound
guy myself I wouldn't care much about sound source fidelity, at least
in fictional work like movies. For example, coconut shell halves may
replace sucessfully horse hoofs, actually most people will say that
they sound better ! :-) Art is a different thing from life, after
all...

Saludos
