Hey everyone, Because there haven't been any posts here for a while I thought I would throw this out here-Just wondering what the group's thoughts are on the...
I've been listening to the insightful, creative, and sometimes downright brilliant ideas and solutions to film sound that have been posted by the members here...
City Lights is a silent film. Unless you were watching some restored version with the "original" score recreated Mr. Chaplin probably had nothing to do with...
Actually, I believe that it was one of the first "talkies". Supposedly talkies had just come out and the decision to just have score and the occasional sound...
Hi, Harvey, and Welcome! The idea that sound design, or "invisible sound" can take a dramatic film far is a dangerous one if it assumes that all one has to do...
Surfing the net gave some info. Seems like the print had a optical (mono) soundtrack which contained music and some soundfx. No lip-sync. Mvh/Regards Svenn...

Hi group. The talk about City Lights made me think about my all time favorite Serial-Killer movie; "M" by Fritz Lang. The use of sound (within the technical...

Scott K. is correct that "City Lights" is a silent film though its release in 1931 sets it at the time of the beginning of sound in films (the first noted film...
Hello all, I've been soaking in what seems like gold by reading these posts for a while, and I am thrilled that I have wrangled myself my first sound design...
thank you Mr. Spanos, for this topic it is one that i think about quite often i think that City Lights is my favorite film by Chaplin i think that it is more...
I watched `M' again at the weekend. What jumps out at me is the lack of sound. For example, moving vehicles are represented by their horns and not by their...
Hello Everyone.. I have been following the posts in this group for sometime now, and noticed that the discussion is mainly [or always ?] related to old films,...
Hi Tony, I love new and old films alike. For me I have been finding it very interesting lately to watch "old" movies. Quite often I will see and hear...
I'd be interested in a new batch of recommendations for extra features on DVDs that I might not otherwise see... New, old, or obacure especially. <L> Lou...
Hi, Tony! Discussing contemporary films is tricky for several reasons. Among them... One, there are probably people who monitor this group who worked on the...
I have been looking around for a good book on "On-Set" sound recording techniques. I know this is a very broad question but I have yet to find a book that has...
Hi Dana Thank you for this information! Your clarifications are very important. Just a couple of clarifications.......... are you saying that the musical...

Here is a great thing that you can have for FREE that is an amazing booklet filled with production sound information. The folks at Equipment Emporium, Inc. ...
One of the best things that any of you can do is to check out the "deleted scenes" usually found in the "Special Features" menu. If you really want to hear...
If you are interested in sound there are a number of books around but there is one that deal's specifically in bioaccoustics and that is "Sound Recording" by...

After reading Randy T about discussing present movie sound designs, I came to think about the way we discuss things and develop sounddesign. Being young,...
Once again our mentor and best pal Randy makes some telling points. If you absolutely must make comments on a film that has less than stellar sound design be ...
Hi Tony, I have to agree with Randy, and in deference to Carl's recent post would like to offer a solution. Rather than giving a critique on a 'bad sound ...
The below is PRECISELY the reason I opted out of the film sound bizness - I love reading about the good stuff. but was unable to cope with the few directors I...
Dear Randy, Ian and all others who responded to my previous post, I am extremely sorry that what I wrote failed to clearly represent what I had in mind while I...
A few thoughts following on from Tony's post. Firstly I admire anybody who contributes to a group like this, when English is not their first language. I think...
