ABSTRACT
The supervising sound editor is going to inherit sound files from the very person he or she has recommended to the producer. All format issues must be thoroughly discussed and agreed on, through the usage of sound during the picture editorial process, then locking picture and handing it over to the supervising sound editor. The producer must be aware of what can and what cannot be done within the confines of the budget available. With very few exceptions, projects that run into postproduction issues can be traced back to the fact that they did not have the expert advice of a veteran supervising sound editor from the beginning. It is very rare to come across an ultra low-budget project that has the luxury of recording to a 4-track recorder. A wireless receiver is strapped to the camera rig with short pigtail axle connectors going into the rear of the camera.
