Hi, Jim! I agree, and many of the other Dept. Heads are potential good models as well for how whoever is in charge of sound on a film should interact with the...
To open another can of worms, what if there's just one award for sound? Because as Randy has rightfully mentioned the lines are blurring. The sound editor...
Randy, I think this would ba an interesting return to the early Academy classification- where the Studio Sound head would get the Academy Award. SInce that...
It's always kinda confused me that the re-recording mixer and the production mixer share an oscar, when they're two entirely different disciplines. Is there a...
I definitely would not support a return to that old regime where the "suit" who ran the sound dept. for the studio got the award. The spirit of all the...
I agree with you, Randy. From my view here on the lower rungs of the ladder I think that one of the problems is the terminology. From dictionary.com: ...
I think this terminology discussion is interesting. It's particularly relevant in teaching the rules to new designers (or, conversely, to the constant...
I have to disagree on that point, Robert. I think "Editor" or "Picture Editor" is one of the least understood job descriptions in film. Most people think the...
... As part of Ann Kroeber's talk at the last School of Sound, Frank Behnke played some wonderful interviews he had recorded with Alan Splet on the set of Blue...
I think that the op was thinking commercial library materials- nonetheless, it is more the skill of the editor in combining sound elements than the library- a...
I really like the first 3. I'm skeptical about UES - that's very cheap for manhattan. But I think those are great finds :-) - Robin Arnott Sound Designer ...
Hi, All! I'm doing a presentation soon in which I want to talk about Dialog as a sound design element. It occurred to me that this could be an interesting...
Hi, Randy, You might find interesting a book by Sarah Kozloff caled "Overhearing Film Dialogue," which discusses the conventions of various genres. And if you...

Regarding dialogue style, think of pace: Howard Hawks's HIS GIRL FRIDAY gets so frenetic at some points that Hawks makes a joke of it: Rosalind Russell yells,...

About creative way of superimpose and work with dialogue as 'materia prima' i think Jean Luc Godard movies are a good example. that's all by now manuel ...
Hi Randy, When/Where will your presentation be held? Will it be open to public? In terms of Dialog as sound design, i'm thinking along the lines (no pun...
How about Fassbinder's "In a Year of 13 Moons"? I think the meat factory scene qualifies (I wrote a paper on the use of sound in this film back in school) ...
Hi Group! I absolutely agree with Charles on this one. A commercial sound FX library is just a collection of stuff that may come in handy at some point. Like...
Some ideas on this: I've found a very useful reference for all aspects of dialogue usage (not just film) in a book "The Human Voice - The Story of a Remarkable...
The Conversation is a classic example. Here dialogue is the subject of movie as well as an element. Perhaps it is a cousin to Blowup? Sent via BlackBerry from...
Hi Randy, This weekend i saw "Punch Drunk Love" again. Wonderful movie! The scene where Barry (Adam Sandler) comes to the party at his sisters house, has a...
The first movie that I could think about is Transformers. The way Bumblebee communicates with Sam. That's a really nice example for this I think. But I could...
Very cool! "Synecdoche, New York" is *really* interesting in its use of repeated dialog. Through the last hour or so of the film there's hardly any dialog that...
Hi klas! Thanks for that tip. A question for those with far more experience than I: To what extent do you think it is a danger to use a library sound as it's...
Another one that I think might be a good example is "Picassos Äventyr" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078084/ Apart from a tiny part narration, all the...
Hitchcock's 'The Lodger' (1927) contains a well-known example of this, (actually great PoV dialogue/sound design), in an early scene the killer overhears a...
Hi Randy and group! There´s this problem with dialogue that has to to with perception. What is said is usually more interesting than how the voice sounds. ...
On the topic of slow paced dialogue, David Lynch's films jump immediately to mind. Upon the release of THE STRAIGHT STORY, a colleague of mine exclaimed "I...
By the way Randy, didn't you recently take issue with posts that prompt responses simply listing examples rather than engaging in discussions about those...
