The Power of Ambience : Article

I just read an article on ambient noise, and it has confirmed what I have been warned about.
Creating a sample of the environment that you are filming in helps a lot in the post production
area.

A personal experience, I was recording a basketball tourny with a colleague, and he mentioned this technique. He told me "Record at least 5 min of ambiance so that when ever there is a "dead space" in the video, you can loop back the recorded audio."

In previous projects that I have done, I have had to clip a random segment of audio (like 3 seconds of audio) and loop it for a good 25 seconds...... It sounded horrible. I will forever use this
technique from now on.
