Apparently, if I can come up with a script, I can get Lindsay Lohan. And
from there, all I need to do is launch a Kickstarter campaign and
everything will fall into place.

Mark is correct of course. Much of the sound for motion pictures and high-end
commercials is created in post. Back in the day when budgets of over a million
dollars for a 30 second commercial were fairly common, almost anything was
possible. This commercial was made on a budget of only 300K, but all of the
sound was done in post at a Hollywood post house. The restaurant ambience used
five or six different tracks.

Frequently, actors voices are dubbed in after the fact as well. I shot some
commercials with Ed Herrmann for Dodge, where he had to read a 24 second script
while hitting about five marks on a stage where a car was being assembled. Of
course Ed was working on a stage in Hollywood and the car was being assembled
digitally at RGA in NY, so he was working on an empty stage. What's more, he
was shooting episodes of The Practice the same day and hadn't even looked at
the script. He couldn't get it right, and after 20 takes, he threw up his hands
in surrender and defamed the memory of his mother. I brought him into a sound
studio the next week and we overdubbed half of his lines. There's software
designed just for that purpose that helps the operator sync copy with lip
movements, and Ed, being the consummate pro, did some perfect reads that were
closely matched to picture. When it was finished, I couldn't tell which lines
were dubbed. I'm not particularly proud of the commercial. In fact, it sucks.
But it was budgeted at close to a million. I never uploaded it to the web, but
there's a crappy copy of the spot on the web that someone must have recorded
off a very bad TV:

Thanks for all the info, Steve.
I do think it's strange that ambient sound isn't usually recorded in
stereo. I always just assumed that chirping birds, passing vehicles,
etc. were recorded in stereo to give a more life-like feel.
Keep in mind that Cotty is talking about news video production. For
movies, etc. not only are the chirping birds and passing trucks in
stereo, they're added in post-production with stock recordings and
foley artists.
