Re: Cheating
by Mark Suszko on Oct 3, 2008 at 1:55:41 pm

I almost always spot a reversed-motion clip when I see one on TV. They are hard to do well, so I avoid them. But I don't think you should call this "cheating", more like clever cutting.

I remember in my linear tape days, editing some dialog from someone with really poor diction, dropped a lot of their sibilant "s" sounds and it made them sound ignorant. Sent the client away to lunch and spent the hour finding 2-frame sibilance clips and pasting them into all the words missing the "ess". Client came back and said "did you find better takes? This guy sounds intelligent now". "Nope, just massaged his audio a little".

"I didn't cheat: I changed the conditions of the test. Got a commendation for creative thinking."-J.T. Kirk, re: The "Kobayashi Maru test". ST: The Wrath Of Kahn.
