David's Next Career Move

We have— we have to— wait, yes, we have to, because— okay, so I looked it up and basically this is it. So they work around the camera noise. So IMAX cameras are very loud, especially the old 70mm ones. So productions do a few things. They put the camera further away or in a soundproof blimp, a heavy enclosure that muffles the noise. They shoot quieter dialogue scenes with smaller digital cameras like an Alexa or Venice and save IMAX for big visuals. That's crazy. Or they use ADR, automated dialogue replacement. Actors rerecord the lines in a studio later, matching their onscreen lip movements. Wow. That's crazy. In Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan used IMAX cameras even for dialogue scenes, but they had to custom engineer quieter camera housings and still replaced a lot of the lines in post. Same with Dunkirk and Interstellar. Wow, that's fucking madness. Yeah, I wonder how many lines were dubbed over because of those cameras being so loud. I think that's really bizarre. I can't wrap my head around that at all. How can you— how can you possibly match the audio perfectly, especially on such a big screen where everybody's watching it like so intensely? That blows my mind.
