All of them wanted to push through to completion and were willing to follow our lead on how best to do that. I've been working remotely for nearly four years now as family circumstances took me across the country. This situation has ended up being a blessing in disguise as we've been ironing out remote mixing during that entire time. Our internal workflow has remained the same in terms of parsing out editorial, Foley, and design. Spotting sessions have taken place over Skype, FaceTime, and Zoom, and we've found that directors and producers alike have enjoyed the opportunity to stay home, spot, and quickly move on to their next task. Over the years, we've tailored our remote workflow to our clients' preferences and sensibilities. Some producers and directors are product-driven, while others have a keen interest in the process. By product-driven, I don't mean to say that they are not vested in the artistic merit of the final soundtrack, but rather that their MO is to give instruction and trust us to do the job right. Process-driven clients tend to want to be there for as many steps of the project as they can—give notes and approve sound design, review and approve ADR cues, etc., as well as being present for all ADR sessions and the final mix.
