[…] written about expecting the unexpected and being able to roll with the punches before, but this month’s topic seemed like a great time […]

In reply to MG. Gear on set for this was pretty limited. We had a 744T and a single Sanken CS-1 shotgun to work with, but we made the best we could with what we had on hand.

In reply to Danijel Milosevic. Unfortunately, the original room tone has been lost to time and drive failure (remember, make backups, then back up those backups!).

Great story. Any cool gear on set?

This is something I learnt while working with Rob Nokes. Unexpected things often happen when recording in the field, and you can’t just leave everything and come back at a later date. You need to embrace the unexpected instead, and make the best out of each situation.

Great recording! It’s irregularly repetative…. The banging seems like human hammering, but then you feel it’s not human because it’s too random, and so it’s somewhere in-between…. Which can probably work to confuse the viewers subconscious mind if played as a background.

I wonder if you still have the original room-tone in which this is barely audible?
