More ADR… (Additional Dialogue Recording)

Craig Conway recording ADR for The Stagg Do
Craig and Aris in Sunny Donny
And so onto the next ADR sesh… This one was going to be way more tricky!  You see Craig Conway (Radgy) isn't based up here in the North East anymore, he's now permanently Darn Sarf.  He reckoned he could get into a studio in Soho and do his lines there, and as a veteran of TONS of films we knew we wouldn't have to worry about his ability to match his lines and performance. 

BUT…  There's always a bloody "but" isn't there? As regular readers of this blog know, we used three different sound recordists with three different sets of kit for the shoot!  Poor Aris' ears are bleeding with all of the sound irregularities.  Anyway, Craig has been rehearsing a theatre extravaganza at the CAST theatre in Doncaster - which is two hours south of Tha Toon. I decided it might be better for the ADR if we recorded it with Aris' special microphone which is what we're using for the rest of the sessions at Rich's East Wing Studio.

Aris was free, Craig was amenable - and so we booked in the session for Friday; Craig only had a short window but he was up for it and so we were all set. Until a pencil in Aris' diary became an official booking, and he suddenly was no longer available! Jeez this film feels cursed sometimes!!!  So some frantic rescheduling took place and finally at 9:30 on Wednesday night we were finally rebooked for Thursday lunchtime.

Aris and I set off for Sunny Donny first thing in the morning made it there on time, after nearly being run off the road by some awful drivers on the A1 and then being confused by changes to the Doncaster one way system that were not on the sat-nav.

What a beautiful theatre, the CAST is - a beautiful, modern, multi-purpose space with fancy fountains outside.  We hooked up with Craig, took over a meeting room and then Aris set up his portable ADR system - what a pro.

Craig was an absolute trooper - considering he's been rehearing dance numbers for 3 weeks… He even managed to wangle an extra half an hour to finish off his lines.  He said watching the clips made him remember how much the lads laughed their arses off throughout the filming.  We showed him a few other clips and the outtakes and then it was time to head back to Geordieland after a quick pitstop in Tesco for a sarnie and a bag of crisps.

I'd like to extend my sincere thanks to Craig and Aris for busting their balls to make sure we got the lines rerecorded and also to the staff of the CAST theatre and the people involved in Craig's show for helping us along the way. 

More ADR coming soon… Including - what do you do when one of actors had emigrated to Australia???
