English term

loop the lines

English to Portuguese Other Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Estou confusa em relação ao sentido de loop nesta frase:

“I even looped the lines of the actor who played the killer at the beginning, though I changed the voice slightly. I just wanted a little bit of the thing, ‘Is that Eastwood? Is that him?’”

Será que neste caso é "dobrar as falas do actor..."??

PT PT (preferencialmente)

Obrigada!

adicionar voz a uma cena (posteriormente)

I think Liliana's idea is correct.
It can be "To add a voice track to a film reel so that the action and sound are synchronized."

unir filmes magnéticos

"Certainly the movies were always in the air for me. I come from the era when actors thought it was a big deal to be in the movies - I'm sure they still do - and I remember my experience in `Me, Natalie' (1969), which was the first movie I ever made. I had a walk-on, with Patty Duke (the film's star), in fact, and I remember being shocked and confused that they could devote a full day from 7 in the morning until 7 in the evening doing this little four-line part. It's so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can't believe how insufferably boring it is. Waiting around and doing these lines over and over and finally having to go in and loop the lines and dub them. Eventually, I learned how to pace myself and work in the movies and adjust to the schedule."
