00:00So it's like...

00:21Hi, this is Jesswally Arts Studio.

00:31You just have to add a little...

00:35salt.

00:37You know, just for the dust.

00:39So when you walk on that...

00:44Try to be brave on the road.

00:54Because the recording on location is completely focused on the dialogue.

00:57If a hero picks up a glass, they put a tape under it.

01:01They put a rubber pad under it.

01:02So that when he holds it, it doesn't make a sound when he picks it up.

01:06So you have to do it fully for that.

01:27I'm just showing a small trick to recreate the BP checking machine.

01:33This is a bag which has a Velcro.

01:35You can use any Velcro thing.

01:38And here is an empty plastic bottle.

01:40And it has a hole.

01:42So I'll just show it to you.

01:57It takes at least 100 hours to make any film.

02:21It's a tiring job.

02:22Whatever you are doing is physical.

02:24You know, if the hero is running, you are also running.

02:26So it's not just the hero.

02:27There is a character artist, a heroine.

02:46I have so much passion for sound.

02:48I feel happy when I hear it myself.

02:51This film is really good.

02:53Sometimes I feel that this film has good sound.

02:56So that's my appreciation.
