Hollywood Gets Loopy With Mix One
With all this production in town, some wonder what implications it has for the business at the local post-production houses. The answer to that one is "plenty"; we've been the go-to solution for actors and actresses in town who need a place to go to do their dialog replacement while they're in Boston working on another feature.
Recent films that have gotten the Mix One treatment include Cloverfield, Blindness, the Showtime series Brotherhood, and many more. Going back over the years, the Mix One crew has worked on the likes of Cars, Four Brothers, Harry Potter, Mermaids, The Witches of Eastwick,, and many more.
Using Zephyr and APT ISDN codecs, these sessions happen with the studio on the other end of the line slaving to our session so the director and producers can see and hear everything - in sync, in real time, as it's happening here in Boston.
In the end, remote looping is an economy of effort for what is considered by many actors as a necessary evil - but it sure beats getting on a plane and losing all that travel time when they need to be on location here.
