16 mm sound report
Well, I'll be shooting my first 16mm short film in January and I've been asked to complete Sound reports. I have never seen one, I don't have a clue of what info I'm supposed to deliver, or if there is a standard format to follow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Bests Regards, Andres. |

Andres,
What are you recording on? Most of the new recorders have some sound reporting capabilities built-in. However, to use those, you need to fill-in metadata on the tracks as you go along. I find it's easier to write stuff down AND put the metadata in on the Deva. That way, I have something to reference in case I messed something up. If you use BWF Widget, you can edit the metadata before printing out the sound report (however, this requires you to have a printer on-site, be able to create PDF documents, and have a laptop on-location with you. This can be a lot to ask in certain situations. Wayne |

Thanks to Steve, Wayne and Chris.
I think that the sample sheet that Chris posted will work perfectly for my needs. And Wayne, very interesting what you mentioned about recorders that let you create the reports; I'll definitely research more about that. Right now I'm recording on an Edirol R-44 and it doesn't have that function, so I'll keep that in mind when the moment comes to upgrade my recorder. Best regards, Andres. |
