While the industry focuses on image quality capable of reducing post VFX (final pixel), camera set ups, and location shoots, sound recording quality is egregious left out of the picture. With every challenge comes opportunity, so I took this opportunity to focus on what I dub “final sample,” capturing and carrying original dialog performances through to final sound mix, minimizing use of automated dialog replacement (ADR), striving toward zero-ADR (ZADR).
