This new edition of the industry staple will help readers produce professional-level dialogue tracks with the latest industry-proven techniques and insights. Emmy-award-winning sound editor Korey Pereira, MPSE, continues the work of John Purcell, updating the material to include the most recent approaches to the dialogue editing process.
The text provides innovative solutions to common dialogue editing challenges such as room tone balancing, noise removal, perspective control, finding and using alternative takes, and even time management and post-production politics. In this new edition, the author incorporates the long list of new technologies that have become required parts of the dialogue editing process, as well as considering alternative workflows in addition to more traditional "Hollywood" models. This edition also expands from just feature film and explores the many ways that television programs call for the same technologies and techniques.
The depth and scope of this book on dialogue editing make it the number one resource for professionals and students who want to master this essential element of editing.
