Documentaries are often made on tight budgets and with limited crew. Along with the pressure of capturing footage as it unfolds, this can often mean sound quality is .a bit of an afterthought., according to sound mixer and editor David White.
"The capturing of sound on location for documentaries is extremely difficult," White tells If.
.I know from firsthand experience having tried to shoot documentaries myself. Trying to capture the story that.s going on in front of the camera occupies a lot of your headspace..
However, the quality of the sound that is captured on location has large implications for the time and procedures required in post-production, he says.

There’s plenty to love about George Miller’s masterful “Mad Max: Fury Road,” but the film’s captivating visual presentation often takes precedent. A movie printed on storyboards instead of a fully-formed script, it’s an exhilarating, eye-popping spectacle in every sense of the word — from John Seale’s amazing cinematography, to Jacinta Leong and Shira Hockman’s massively-inspired art direction, to the radiant orange and teal-heavy color palette, to the incredible stunt work and motorcar-fueled mayhem. With all that visual stimulation, it can be easy to forget how much Mark A. Mangini and David White’s impeccable, Oscar winning sound editing also played into the never-ending excitement of Miller’s latest. So, thankfully, Vimeo user Zackery Ramos-Taylor is here to give them their full due (beyond, you know, their Oscars) with his latest supercut, “Hearing Mad Max: Fury Road.” Read More: Watch: Video Essay Explores The Rhythm Of...
