ADR Session for Pleasure Droid 3000

Last weekend saw Dreambase Studios recording an ADR session for new high-profile short film, 'Pleasure Droid 3000'. The film is produced and directed by Oliver Purches and was written by Stephen Scott-Hayward. Set in the near future this sci-fi comedy is about a guy who takes his robot girlfriend back to the shop were he bought her, complaining that he bought the 'pleasure model', but his robot is acting like a real woman! The film is cast with James Harrison, Richard Cambridge, and Jessica-Jane Clements, star of BBC series 'The Real Hustle'. Pictured from L-R are: James Harrison, Jessica-Jane Clements, Stephen Scott-Hayward, Kate Timmons and Oliver Purches.

For those not familiar with the term, ADR stands for Automatic Dialogue Replacment or Additional Dialogue Recording, and happens when production dialogue recorded when the cameras were rolling is unsuitable for the final version of the film, perhaps because there was too much background interference for instance.

Experience Dolby Mobile surround sound

We were recently commissioned by global entertainment technology company Dolby Laboratories to provide concept and sound design for a series of 5.1 soundbites to help promote the new Dolby Mobile microsite. Working with the Dolby creative marketing team and Bristol based digital marketing agency True Digital we designed four distinct 'soundbites' to put you right in the centre of the action. The microsite also features several soundtrack examples from well known films plus a specially made video by UK beatbox champion Beardyman!

So grab your headphones and click to the Dolby Mobile microsite to see what it's all about. You can also download the soundbites to your computer or mobile phone.
