Henninger DC Goes Hollywood!
Henninger DC is often called upon by Hollywood for its Automated Dialogue Replacement services (ADR). Recently, Hollywood called again; this time, it was for the newly released political thriller, State of Play.
The film stars Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck, and contains a scene shot at local DC landmark, Bens Chili Bowl. Daytime manager, Maurice Harcum came into Henninger DC to re-record his lines opposite Russell Crowe.
Kenneth Gilbert, the sound designer/mixer on the project explains how looping in DC can be sent straight to Hollywood.
Were able to bring the director and talent together by locking ISDN lines with the Hollywood studio. I control video playback and record audio in Pro Tools while sending audio and timecode to sync with the film studio. The director sees and hears everything as though they are in the room with us. This allows for quick turnaround without actor or director traveling cross-country. Some of his more notable sessions include work for ABCs, LOST, The Godfather video game, Robert Duvall recordings for 4 Christmases, and the soon-to-be released, Tribes of October.
The independent film community recently called upon Henninger DCs creative direction and talents as well. Editor/Graphic Designer, Dan Egan worked with the creators of the newly released indy film, Jazz in the Diamond District. Egan animated the film companys logo for the opening sequence of the movie, created a new credit bed for the film, and designed the DVD/Website layout and menu.
It’s very rewarding to work with local film-makers. Its like rooting for your home team in sports. Egan remarks. The film opened in DC at E Street Cinema, and travels to New York, Atlanta and Chicago later this month.
