Slumdog Millionaire Takes Home 8 Oscars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-see dept.

Ben Burtt was robbed of his overly deserved Oscars for the sound on Wall-E, and Heath Ledger's Joker unsurprisingly got a posthumous statue, but the big winner for the night was Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire with Picture, Director, Song, and five others. Go ahead movie nerds: talk amongst yourself.

    So animated films have no deadlines? Sound for animated or live action is often done the same way. In post. Rarely do you actually use a sound that you recorded on set (aside from dialog).

    and every single uttered syllable, is likely dubed.

    That's where you lost it. Most sound effects are dubbed, yes, but there's an entire team of people on a film set dedicated to keeping the dialogue clean and usable. Dubbed dialogue can rarely match the intensity of a real, live recording of a scene and using it almost always robs a performance of some quality.
