Tysto film commentaries

Entertainment | Movies | Movie Analysis | Audio | by Andrew Cole

DVD Commentaries

I love movies and I especially love commentaries. So I got myself a microphone and produced some of my own. I do commentaries alone (or with my dog) with Region 1 DVDs and post the results in MP3 format with a bit rate of 64.

As a movie lover in general, I try to call out the similarities and differences in the film I'm commenting on to other films in the same genre. I try not to spoil those other films, but you never know. I'll try to warn you first.

For other commentaries, I recommend our sister site: Zarban's House of Commentaries.

If you wonder about microphones, I used a Logitech USB desk mike for the first of these, but I've now I have a nice Samson CO3U, which has better bass response and consistently captures cleaner sound.
