Author Topic: Sound out of sync on "Bran Nue Dae" Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-17-2010 01:27 AM                        Hey Guys, Is anyone else who is playing a 35mm print of "Bran Nue Dae" noticing any problems with the optical sound track? I was just watching a bit of it and noticed that the sound seems to be ever so slightly out, only just noticable. Has anyone else noticed this? I didn't receive DTS discs so we're forced to play it in SR.

Check the sync pop on the leader and see if it's printed out of sync. Have a look at all spools and see if there is a pattern there.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-17-2010 07:15 AM                        Cheers guys, I'll have a look at this when I go in tomorrow. A lot of the movie looks like they've done ADR and dubbed over everything. At one point where Missy Higgins in singing it's about a second out, but right after they're talking and it's fine.  |  IP: Logged Daniel Schulz Master Film Handler Posts: 387 From: Los Angeles, CA USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 01-17-2010 06:48 PM                        Just a quick note on the DTS discs, the production did not license a DTS Digital Sound track. The timecode is present to accomodate a DTS-CSS Access track, to provide open captions for the hearing impaired.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-19-2010 04:27 AM                        Sound is printed in sync on all reels. Just watched some more and at most points it's fine. Other times, mainly during singing it's almost a second out. Pretty crap, but what can I do. I'm guessing all prints are like this.  |  IP: Logged Stu Jamieson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 524 From: Buccan, Qld, Australia Registered: Jan 2008 posted 01-24-2010 03:42 AM                     I checked this out the other day and it's all good here.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-24-2010 04:07 AM                        Thanks Stu. I have talked to several people who have watched it at other sites in WA and they also noticed the sound being out of sync, only during the singing, though.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 01-24-2010 05:07 AM                     Those actors and singers should be able to mime better!  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-24-2010 05:09 AM                        Well I guess that's it then. Put it down to shit lip syncing.  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 01-24-2010 05:13 AM                     Yep. Just like a Britney Spears concert.  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 01-24-2010 06:27 PM                     I saw this in 2K digital and the sound was also out of sync at the start for the first 10 mins but did get better after a few scenes. It was fairly obvious that many scenes were ADR not location sound and that may have added to the problem.  |  IP: Logged Damien Taylor Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Perth, Western Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 01-24-2010 07:22 PM                     Yup consensus here was just average ADR for some scenes.  |  IP: Logged
