Session 1: Today we will look at the requirements for the “ADR, and Foley for Moving Images Project”.

The final project for the Sound Design class involves the combination and synchronization of sound and visual media. The goal of the project is to involve all the competencies listed class the class, including two new competencies. First, “Synchronize audio and video tracks to ensure proper playback and continuity” and second, “Incorporate the techniques of Foley/ADR in production”. Therefore, visual media that requires voice acting is necessary. Secondly, studio time to replace “on set” dialogue using ADR techniques is required.

In order to efficiently meet these requirements, it makes sense to form groups with a minimum of three student members. Three roles are necessary for each group – a producer, a sound designer, and one or more voice actors. All members of each group will share the engineering responsibilities. The producer will be responsible for writing the story and presenting a script to the group, the sound designer will be responsible for recording Foley and collecting sound effects and ambience for the piece, and the voice actor(s) will provide their talents on set and in the studio during ADR.
