Today was our final shoot on the swimming doc we have been making over the last few weeks.
I have learned a great deal on the documentary, not only about sound, camera and producing but also about swimming and how it can be a life skill but more importantly the effects it can have on people in all walks of life.
The sound recording has been challenging, working in swimming pools with a lot of echo and reverberation to try to deal with was at times very hard. To try and overcome some of the sound issues I have used personal mic's where possible and EQ'd the sound in Pro Tools.
The production side has been equally challenging with the various permissions needed to be able to film this type of documentary.
As the shoot has progressed I have heard many different peoples opinions about swimming and it has made me more aware of why we are making a doc on this subject. This has only fueled me further to make this the best that we possible can and to look into editing into a longer piece that could be used by swimming authorities.
