ADR recording for "The Penny" is currently in full swing.  For those unfamiliar with it, ADR (short for automated dialogue replacement) is the process of re-recording lines of dialogue from the film which for some reason or another were unable to be used from the original audio recorded during production.  Sometimes the shot was too wide to properly mic the actors, other times traffic or wind noise may have been too loud, etc.

This past weekend Brian Morvant (who plays "Rick") and Kyle Walters (who plays "Curt") flew in from New York City to record their ADR down in Illinois at Nate Sisson's studio.  It was a jam packed couple of days as we worked long hours to get the necessary work done in the limited amount of time we had.  Happily, we were able to accomplish everything with even a little bit of Saturday evening to spare.

While ADR can be a tedious and sometimes difficult process it has been quite enjoyable to get to spend time again with many of our talented actors.  The sound studio environment tends to be a bit less stressful than shooting on set, so there's always a little more time to chat, laugh, and enjoy each others company.

In addition to the ADR work continues on the score, visual effects, and color grading for the film.  The trailer and website continue to be polished as well.  I'll keep you posted on all the latest developments as I'm able!
