During the course of half-assedly writing journals that I consider to be the worst assignment ever (It's blatantly obvious you don't care about my opinions prof) I found something extremely interesting.
Fredrico Fellini, one of the greatest italian directors of all time, was in the practice of not only adding all sound in during post production (which was widely practiced in italian cinema at the time), but would play music on the set during filming silently, and would make up the lines after filming; having actors just mouth random things on the set.
I suppose this project isn't all bad. Especially considering the light at the end of the tunnel is seeing my girlfriend for lunch, and finally getting to take advantage of the wonderful gift she gave me.
