Filmmaking paper trail
Definition
[edit]"Wild Track" simply means that it's recorded sound not synced with the picture. Wild track recordings can absolutely be dialog. But tape and film used to never run at the same speed, so the sync would go "wild." It's not referring to "wild" sound.[1]
The article seems to imply that wild track is never recorded while the camera is running, and this simply isn't true. If you are recording audio on a digital recorder and the video on your digital SLR during a conversation, that a wild track. 'bitchen' ric (talk) 20:59, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
