I just got the omf of the full length feature I'm going to work on for the next few months. The film is being made by young people without lot of (or any) former experience. The movie is shot in kind of documental way and the cast is filled with amateur actors. Anyway the story is great, actors are fantastic (could embarrass many professional actors in fact) and it is certainly going to be an important movie. It deserves to have fantastic sound. Unfortunately it seems there are serious problems to overcome before I even start to work...
First heart attack I got when they told me there is no sound report, script, anything. The second one (and I steal can not recover from that) I got when opening the OMF and looking through the files from set. It appears that files doesn't have their unique names! They sit in catalogues - one folder for one take - named with numbers (each next day starts form 0001 btw...) In each catalogue there are three waves named "1", "2", "3". 1 for boom and 2 and 3 for lavs. As a result on the timeline and in the clips list in Pro Tools session I got tones of ones, twos and threes only! I have no idea, where to find the alternate takes. I started listening to the materials, renaming them and doing my own report but even when I find particular folder with files from particular scene, it takes ages to discover which file is being used in omf because on the timeline there is still nothing saying "1", "2" or "3". I'm LOST...
The question is: is there any reasonable way to rename the clips inside the session? What would you do to organize the material in any sensible way without spending a year on that?
