Average Dude vs Rodeo Bull

Rene got the call through Shon Niswanger — a connection that started years earlier when Shon was doing work for the Dallas Stars. Long-term relationships open doors.

The production sound was a challenge. The activities they filmed were so physical that the lav mics couldn't always keep up, and they'd filmed many scenes at a live rodeo with thousands of people. Most of it was recorded well given the circumstances and organized well in the sequence, but the track count was high and the noise was real. Five or more lavs open simultaneously in many scenes. Getting everything time-aligned and cleaned up enough to sound natural required layers of processing.

The goal wasn't a standard YouTube video. Dude Perfect wanted this piece presented as a high-level documentary — something that felt more like Netflix or a theater than a typical upload. The dialogue and music needed to work together, not against each other.

This was Ty's most dangerous stunt to date, and the sound track had to match that intensity. Even in that context, all of the dialogue had to be intelligible on small speakers, especially during the heavy action moments.

We had 3 days. This was our first project with Dude Perfect, and they don't miss release dates. If we couldn't deliver, they'd fall back to the scratch mix from Premiere. We weren't going to let that happen.
