I was having a chat the other day with some of the team who work in post production about the joys of fixing yet another interview with sound issues. According to them this was par for the course and not unusual, they had the feeling that often the thought during the shoot was that it could be fixed in post. I direct quite a lot of shoots and I also edit quite a lot of video, sometimes projects I did not direct, sometimes shoots I didn't even attend. So wearing two hats I thought I'd give those who direct but have never had to deal with what sound guys sometimes get handed in post some tips, making life better for everyone.
