Interesting article. I work in film as a sound mixer, adr mixer and recordist and final dub mixer quite often. I find ADR is in 85% of movies now (more like 95%). The issue is with the genuine performance of the actor on set vs. the actor in post. If they are in a cold pool, blood on their head vs in a studio pretending to be struggling you don’t really get that. It is a way to get clean audio, but much of the time you can get that on set with quality mic placement. Anytime you hear an actor whispering though, or with a boomy voice, that’s ADR! Thanks for writing about this subject as I bet not many people knew about this. I always think the name Automatic is so silly, as the process is the COMPLETE opposite and it’s so painstaking. I’m a sound mixer that vouches for the best on set and when impossible fill ADR, but I prefer filling it with the same mic it’s filmed with (not the vocal mic in the image above) but like a boom mic or at very minimum the same lav. Great stuff!
