Quicksand Fans

Hi guys and gals,

I hope this is in the right area-

I'm in the process of editing some videos I'd like to put up for sale soon, but unfortunately there is a problem with the audio. In the videos we were talking, and the model has asked that I keep her voice out of them, so I have the choice between no audio at all or very patchy audio attempting to keep the mud noises in. She has agreed to do more videos provided that the current ones make some money, though while they aren't strictly quicksand they are about getting boots in mud, and she does get her boots stuck a couple times trying to get out. I already have an HD camera ready for the next sessions, but whether there is a next session depends.
The poor or lack of audio will be reflected in the prices (a few bucks, really), but I would like to get your opinion - no audio at all or patchy, potentially annoying audio? Assuming we manage to get help from you guys and the rest of the internet, the model has agreed to wear different/more outfits and sink deeper - here's hoping!

Again, if I have posted in the wrong area then I apologise, I did try :p

Hi!

Patched audio, please. May be you should apply some frequency changing audio filter, so that model voice became unrecognizable?

Waiting for preview/sreenshots

Thanks for your interest and feedback One of the videos is actually up, but I didn't mention it because its just splashing through/exploring puddles on the way to the mud. I'll continue working on the coming videos - in these she'll use her rubber wellies to explore some mud, and in another she'll stamp some soft ground into a sticky mush in high heeled ankle boots.

I think that patchy audio is better than no audio, but if was me, I would look for alternative audio - or as John Junkman suggested, see if the model would agree to something that disguised her voice.

There are probably audio tools out there for scrambling tone sufficiently (think crime documentaries where they mask folks identities).

But if it were me, and I had to work around it, I would treat the voice as unwanted audio and just substitute audio that fits whatever was there besides the voice (mud, wind, water etc.). Audio that totally cuts out can get old really fast.
