This is a good read. Thank you for posting it.

This part is very interesting: "In one scene, the gyro noise was too
disturbing, so we rerecorded the whole scene =96 but then, we found that
without the whining of the gyro, it was just not sounding right,' he
recalls. `So we only ADR'd one character, notched out the high-pitched
whine of the gyro to a manageable level and kept it in the scene =96 it
added a certain tension to it that both Danny and I liked. So a noise,
which I thought was disturbing during the shoot, actually came to be
of use to us."

Regards,
Tom
