Lip sync (ADR) is shockingly bad
I rarely notice lip sync because they normally do an okay job, but this was really out of sync.
shareOk, I’ll bite.
Who do you think was lip syncing?
And, what does ADR mean?
(Asking for EVERYONE)
Unbeknownst to most, all dialogue is rerecorded by the actors in post production.
This is known as ADR, automated dialogue replacement.
Lip sync is the skill of the actor to reproduce their original performance so that the lips and sound match.
It was shockingly out of sync in many scenes.
I knew dialogue was re-recorded in post, but didn't know there was a name for the process. I don't know about this movie, but periodically I do encounter a movie where I notice the mismatch.
Do they normally re-do all the dialogue, or just the dialogue that was muffled by explosions, traffic, etc?
All of it. It's hard to believe. I notice it particularly when people tell or speak fast.
Eddie Murphy's lips in Beverly Hills Cop II was way off in some scenes when he's yelling.
I'm still puzzled how they get "out of sync"
If the actor says the same words , his lips would move the same surely?
Unless the sound guy whose job it is to put this new dialog onto the film literally dosent get the right start time
