As each team gets eliminated, one team is left standing as the ultimate winner. Similarly, the post and production crews are faced with challenges of their own. For instance, production crews following the contestants around their global destinations not only need to capture video footage, but audio as well, through all sorts of environments, ranging from outdoor markets to river-raft- ing adventures, where there's plenty of extraneous noise. "Environments with heavy traffi c and tasks taking place on or around water always present a challenge for audio, both production and post," says Worldra- ce Productions' Kevin Mueller, post producer on the show. "But chaos is part of the show and we roll with it, so long as the dialogue is intelligible." Mueller says, "when our teams are mic'd with lavaliere radio mics and our production sound crews can stay in close proximity to pick up a clean signal, the audio we get in post is quite good, despite noisy environments. The biggest challenge in post is dealing with the large amount of footage and number of audio tracks, when talking about as many as 22 team members, a host, and any number of locals. It takes time to determine the best sounding tracks and sync them where necessary." — BY LINDA ROMANELLO
