My mother used to do downhill a slalom (not competitively) and to this day I still can’t believe it. Yes, she’s had both her knees replaced, if you’re wondering.
Counter point: the intensely irritating whine of the drones invades every moment.

They had it yesterday during the luge too but this is more impactful.
Yeah that part does suck; it was more noticeable during skiing.lvc wrote:Counter point: the intensely irritating whine of the drones invades every moment.

It’s weird that they aren’t taking the camera shot without that audio because that’s very easy to do.Simple Torture wrote:Yeah that part does suck; it was more noticeable during skiing.lvc wrote:Counter point: the intensely irritating whine of the drones invades every moment.

I guess they want to keep the sound of skis on snow, but that drone frequency is all alone up there so some phase canceling seems like it would be easy peasy for a semi-competent audio engineer.Matters wrote:It’s weird that they aren’t taking the camera shot without that audio because that’s very easy to do.Simple Torture wrote:Yeah that part does suck; it was more noticeable during skiing.lvc wrote:Counter point: the intensely irritating whine of the drones invades every moment.

They could easily take the drone shot with the same nat sounds of the skis. They cut cameras all the time without audio changes. My guess is they want the drone shots to stand out so they take it to air with the drone cam audio left in.lvc wrote:I guess they want to keep the sound of skis on snow, but that drone frequency is all alone up there so some phase canceling seems like it would be easy peasy for a semi-competent audio engineer.Matters wrote:It’s weird that they aren’t taking the camera shot without that audio because that’s very easy to do.Simple Torture wrote:Yeah that part does suck; it was more noticeable during skiing.lvc wrote:Counter point: the intensely irritating whine of the drones invades every moment.

It felt like I needed two before GtF but I hated it too. I almost went with Drone You but this is a Pearl Jam forum.E.H. Ruddock wrote:OofMatters wrote:Off He Drones
