MOS Revealed

We mentioned the term MOS in our posts from the past couple of weeks. We realized that some of you may not know what this means. Well, when you film "MOS", it means you aren't capturing sound as you film. It's the visual without the audio.

But why "MOS"? Well, the film historians will say it stands for "Mit Out Sound" (because of some German director couldn't pronounce his w's). Others have claimed that it stands for "Mute on Slate."

Then again, maybe it stands for something else altogether! Here's a list of the Top Seven Alternative Meanings for MOS:

1. Managing Only Silence
2. Move onto Silence
3. Muted-Only Solutions
4. Missing our Sound-Tech
5. Manage Optimum Silence
6. Miracle of Silence
7. Mic on Strike

And that's MOS for you.
