| | Top Stories | New Tools for Sound-for-Picture
“Sound-for-picture” has traditionally meant audio-for-film, television and video; think of all our usual needs and considerations in pursuit of sonic quality now merged with the needs of counterparts like script, dialog, scoring, actors, direction, cameras, noisy sets (if any at all), voice-overs, ADR, natural sound, dailies, constantly evolving edits, live broadcasts, capturing audio on the run and last-minute changes right up until the 11th hour (and 59 minutes).
In the Mix With the Sound Team for ‘Preacher’
Preacher, AMC's newest series adapted from a cult comic book, centers around a super-hot preacher man, Jesse Custer, his renegade Dorothy Dandridge-esque soulmate, Tulip, and their wacky vampire buddy, Cassidy. Custer has a gift, the power to make anyone do his bidding using the voice of the entity that is inhabiting his body, aka the voice of God. If bewilderment has already set in, that is understandable, as much of Preacher is confusing. Connections are made over the course of a few episodes, where if you pay super-close attention, things kind of start to make a little sense.
