[english version]
definition of "wild track" :
Wild track, also known as wild sound and wild lines, is an audio recording intended to be synchronized with film or video but recorded separately. Generally, the term "wild track" refers to sound recorded on location, such as sound effects gathered when the cameras were not rolling or extra takes of lines performed for audio only.
Reasons to record wild track
. When only the sound is needed, not the image; for example, recording a scream that will be heard off-camera.
. When it is impossible to get good sound and video in the same take; for example, when actors are in a situation (such as the middle of a field in wide shot) that makes boom recording impractical and no wireless mics are available.
. When a take was good visually but there was a sound disturbance, and repeating the entire take is impractical.
. To obtain room tone (the background noise of a location) which is necessary for post-production sound editing.
Note that wild track is considered something of a "cheapie" solution to these problems.
the wildtracksplaylist project : where your participation is welcome...
The WildTracks's project had the idea to list and to share via the web, sounds as field recordings.(see the information below).
You can give some informations about the devices, the recordings, the place, the date, your name, the auteur (if you had the rights), and all the things you would write.
The sound files are in the playlist...
Files are compressed in mp3.
You can mail them at wildtracks@free.fr, and/or suggests me for a best conception of this project.
