Audi "Nightwatchman"

Audi’s “Night Watchman” campaign, created by agency Venables Bell & Partners, New York presented engineer Digital Arts engineer Josh Heilbronner with their own unique audio challenges.

“With Audi, the noise on set was pretty extreme, they filmed the night watchman character walking in various rooms, delivering the copy at a variety of volumes,” Heilbronner says. “However, it all needed to gel together as if he was in one small room, speaking directly to the camera. Overdubbing his dialogue in post was not an option, so we used a various de-noise tools to clear out the clashing room tones.”
