On the other hand German TV/movie acting is heavily influenced by theater so you will have dialogues that are easy to understand but sound completely unnatural. This combined with bad cinematography makes German films unwatchable for me. (German dubs of foreign movies on the other hand are usually quite good)
- drcongo 5y agoIn a lot of European movies the dialogue is added in post rather than recorded live.
- Turing_Machine 5y agoThe Hollywood term for film recorded without synchronous audio is MOS. One of the many alleged origins for the term is a German director (which director varies according to the story) declaring that a scene should be shot "mit out sound".
- cafard 5y agoAnthony Burgess, who wrote English dialogue for Italian movies--whether for subtitles or dubbing I forget--said that Fellini had his cast say sequential numbers; that way, he could just order them to start again from 10. I do recall seeing someone credited with Michel Piccioli's lines on an Austrian film.
