So , what does a Location Sound Recordist do to relax after a hard day on set? He goes to the local park and records frogs....
I thought about editing out the cars but my recordings are of a "space in time." Sometimes that means cars and other distractions , I'm not after a clinical super-clean sound but more of a "slice of life." It's just what I do.
The loud squawks you hear at the start and end are from a pukeko (as shown in the photo) ( later, 16/01/08) Today I found out what the frogs are, they are "green and golden bell frogs" Identified thanks to http://www.oranawildlifepark.co.nz a place well worth visiting if you ever make it to Christchurch , New Zealand.
