The Importance of Professional Sound

In the second part of the production value topic, we are discussing the importance of the professional sound in showreels.

As George Lucas famously said: “Sound is half the picture”. He could not be more right. Without a proper sound design the video is not finished and should not be published.

When you are hiring a crew, or a showreel company, you will not record your own sound, nor you will do the sound design. However, it is important to understand the importance of the professional sound and to know what it takes to get it, so you can compare crews a better way and can help you to prepare in the pre-production stage.
