Dylan I love these films with no music (background)…. excellent work. reminds me of older good films on board of Slug :)
Yep, all good. Welcome back Dylan. I really missed the craggy face and mindful comments. Music only seems to get in the way, let nature do the talking, and of course you too.
I’m enjoying the new series and not really missing the music. But seriously Dylan, you’ve got to do something with the sound quality of your voice-over comments! Thin, parchment sound is not the sonorous, Beeb-trained voice of Dylan we have come to know. Did you record the v-o in a shoe box? A bit of EQ to bring back the richness, maybe a smidge of reverb to make it sound a bit fuller…I am sure you have some tricks up your sleeve… On the other hand, your voice on-camera and all the ambient sounds are fine and add to the feel of real. Still, a nice film and I hope your efforts will be rewarded with enough taps to fund the Fisher.
I was listening on my laptop with Grado SR60e cans. I also tried through a USB interface to my studio monitors (JBL4301B). Its not that the voice is in anyway unintelligible or muffled; it just sound very narrow bandwidth. What mic do you use for voice over and are you applying a high pass filter, or a lot of compression etc. ?
Your voice-overs do sound rather thin and reedy compared to the rest of the sound track. I’m using decent quality in-ear buds which usually sound quite good.
Dylan, Isle of May sound perhaps a bit better but the voice over really is not as pleasant as even the on-camera mic. Out of curiosity, why record the V-O in stereo and what mic(s) are you using?
Dylan,
you are obviously a fruit cake chap but are you a Bread Pudding man?
Was brought up on the stuff.

Had a delicious slice of homemade at The Look Out Cafe above Ramsgate.
Wow an ATALANTA 31? One of Uffa Fox’s strangest designs. Hot molded plywood.
Really terrible boats but total cult classics.
