Thanks for the heads up. I'll be there! - David Sonnenschein On Wed, Jul 9, 2008 at 11:30 AM, Randy Thom <davidrandallthom@...> ... -- ************* ...
I just got back from seeing Wall-E, and I am absolutely awestruck with how amazing the sound design is. Ben Burtt's unique talent of being able to give...
Just as wonderful as this film was, as Ben's work was and as the design of this film FOR SOUND was... has been the response. I was awestruck when, at three...
Ben was one of my principal mentors, and he's a towering figure in film sound, one of the most (if not THE most) prodigious talents in the history of our...
Well, we can only hope more opportunities like this arise for sound in the future. I'm sure most people working in film sound could never even dream of having...
... . I can see why they might use that 'funny mouth' picture in this case though as the voices are obviously the thing that the press are concentrating on......
Wall-E and Happy Feet = best sound design in a CGI animation film, in my opinion. When I saw Happy Feet I was blown away that I had finally heard someone use...

Hi Bob, ... It's great to learn from Hollywood Movies, but those tracks have their own set of problems. Your audience can't afford ADR or a microphone nowhere...
Hey Pluk, I'm a huge proponent of capturing quality production sound although most of my clients never listen to me and then wonder why I have to spend so much...
Hi, Bob! In 20 to 40 minutes the most you can hope to do is introduce them to a a few basic ideas. Probably the most useful thing you could say to them is...

Hi Bob - Well there's a big difference between 20 minutes and 40 minutes! But as has already been pointed out it's still not much time to change any hearts...
Hi Bob, I believe the single most valuable piece of advice I can give for sound design is to script the story as if it were going to be produced for radio....
just thinking, Randy The terrible truth about way too many of of the big budgetmovies is hat they have abysmally bad scripts. They may sound great, they may...

I disagree. Big budget movies tend to have mediocre scripts, which is a far worse sin than a low budget movie with a truly bad script. Randy...
A low-budget animation with a great soundtrack? What about 'Wallace & Gromit - the Wrong Trousers' Fantastic 'large-scale' score by Julian Nott and great sound...
I think the problem is universal.It is that when people sit down to ideate a film, they tend to visualise and not auralise.U know what I mean, like they think...
