[@GwresYnKernow]

I love how, no matter how many times Tom does the 'speak softly to closeup mic' thing, Matt always flinches away at the last second. :p Also, that cut to the phone camera was beautifully done. :p

[@honeycombfromheaven]

Probably because Matt is the one who has to fix the audio if it clips.

[@rhamph]

Matt does audio for a living. When somebody gets close to the mic he instinctively goes "oh no, that's too close" and moves it to a safe (but still close) distance.

[@InsideInterpreting]

Can I tell you a horror story? I'm an interpreter. Sometimes, people will start their conference speeches way too far from the mic or (horror!) with the mic off. They then compensate for that by suddenly getting very close and shouting. Often, we have turned out volumes up so we can try to hear. Going from whispering to very amplified shouting right into a mic is not nice. This is why we love sound engineers.

[@IstasPumaNevada]

You did a good job on the re-recording, Tom. I didn't suspect a thing. Unlike all the people in that park.

[@d3rpk1ng]

Hey why hasn't anyone commented this comment

[@theslickmeister]

The next park bench video should be in a weeks time and it should just be the continued close up shot, with Matt asking Tom "How about now?"

[@oz_jones]

YES

[@RobertT1999]

Wait, let me get this straight. In this video where you are talking about fixing errors in videos but retaining consistency, the camera actually died and you had to fix the error to retain consistency, that sounds way too coincidental for my liking.

[@Splungified]

OK, you've filmed here several times, and I've never asked before, but I just can't let it go any longer... Why does this enchanted forest set exist? What is it's intended use? Because most enchanted forests don't have electrical boxes on the walls and *huge windows opening onto a busy city street*. I'm guessing it's some sort of KZbin show that I'm just unfamiliar with, but can anyone tell me what the set was built for?

[@ragnkja]

I think KZbinSpace sometimes just build sets for people to use in their own videos.

[@knightshousegames]

This forest is old....very old. Filled with memory...And anger...

[@AaronHattongoogle]

It's the KZbin space in London, free for KZbinrs over so many subscribers to use.

[@jamesb6820]

[@TJForceIX]

Yes, it's KZbin space, but that doesn't answer the question of what the set is useful for, as, yes, it doesn't look like it's actually an enchanted forest. Was the idea for some meta show where the set is made to look like a set? What KZbin thing was that set up for?

[@YT-Observer]

hello. ... the best way to help fix the audio is to always record what we refer to as "Nat sound" around 20 seconds before & after any dialog ... then you have the right sound to mix in with a studio mike using eq. so you drop out just the right bits and mix in that background

When I saw the title of this video, I immediately went "Oh, Tomek must have done some of them as well!" It was meant as a joke, Tomek is the one of the only camera operators in KZbin I know of. When Tom mentioned Tomek, it was a bit weird, tbh.

[@knightshousegames]

It is absolutely amazing how clean that edit is on the telescope video. And even how seamless that cut was to Tom's Phone, I thought for a second you guys hid a GoPro somewhere just for that cut to prove your point. It also helps that the traffic in the window behind you is so terrible, because that black car was STILL in the same place between the cuts.

"Automated dialogue replacement (ADR) is the process of re-recording dialogue by the original actor after the filming process to improve audio quality or reflect dialogue changes (also known as "looping" or a "looping session")."

[@ASilentS]

The A in ADR is indeed automated.

[@mackrac]

*SilentS* For some reason

[@ASilentS]

I never really got it either.

[@blisterfingers8169]

I've only ever heard it as Additional.

Which makes no sense because it is not an automated procedure. What is that about?

I know absolutely nothing about cameras, stabilization,ADR etc, but I still watch all of Matt and Tom's videos about that stuff.

6:40 Editing fun fact: It actually is Automated Dialogue Replacement - it's "automated" because you don't have to keep playing back a film reel of the footage where you're replacing the audio, like was done before computers. So it's automated, but not in the part of the process that's actually important.

[@hyeve5319]

Automated Dialogue Replacement, or, alternatively, Additional Dialogue Recording. I forget which is used in the UK vs the US and wherever, but it's a regional thing.

As someone who records voice audio for fun... yep, matching audio is an absolute pain. Even if you're rerecording in the same place with the same equipment! It usually takes me multiple takes until I can match my voice reasonably well enough.

[@dannyglen8011]

filmed months ago? oh wow I'd love a video about how many videos you have on file/in production at once. I've always wondered how much youtubers backlog in order to maintain regular content incase of trips away/holidays/illness.

[@MinorLG]

what you do is get a "Clean" recording of the background in each location, and then you can filter it out, or add it in as you wish. doing so could have given you Arecibo hum over London audio.

[@datenegassie]

I think it's amazing that you took the opportunity of the camera dying to show an example of a sneaky cut, right as you were talking about it. (Or you just said that the camera died to demonstrate it, there's no way for me to know for sure.)

[@papaquonis]

This was really interesting. More so than usual.

[@kairon156]

Talking about audio/video edits, I use to watch Diggnation on Revision3 where they were on stage talking about something or other and said for the meat eaters to cheer and than the vegetarians to cheer. Thing is the video/audio guy was a vegetarian so they switched it so they cheered on the vegetarians part. He did add in subs saying "the magic of editing" or the like.

[@AaaronI]

Matt and Tom one of the classic comedy Duos

[@RousedPotato]

Funny to see a tiny little camera on a professional tripod (seen at 9:50)

[@cabe_bedlam]

The A stood (note past-tense) for Automated because in the bad old days of film negatives and multitrack tape recorders the playback of the projected video loop (hence "looping") was automatically (and optically) synced to the audio track(s). It was looped to allow rapid re-takes without waiting for a projectionist to rewind the footage. However, since the advent of modern digital systems, the need for film interlocks has long gone. I suspect you would be hard pushed to find anyone but an industry veteran who regularly assumes anything other than "Additional" for the A in ADR. Given the act of continuously re-recording still happens, the nickname of looping is also still very much in use. And of course, should not be confused with Dubbing, where it is recorded over the top of final "Production Audio Mix" rather than one single channel from the original discrete tracks or stems.
