Hey! I was just watching few words again the other day and I absolutely love the sound design in that movie. I was wondering if anybody knew how they were able to get such crisp sounds of Candide's landings in this segment specifically. I'm assuming they just had a boom on the camera and then took the sound and processed it through Ableton or something to bump up the effect but I'm honestly not sure.
EDIT: I just realized the video embed didn't start at the right time, skip to 6:15!
A shotgun mic with a good deadcat creates great sound, instances you're speaking of could be use of Foley sound aka they take sound from a different clip or record audio separately and put it on their clip.
I'll often use rail sounds, takeoff sounds or landing sounds from cleaner sounding clips to enhance the slund of a different clip.
the sound in that is sick. They probably filmed it then found foley for it or they finished the film, wrote down what sounds they needed, and recorded something exactly like that on another date
