283 - Anora
24 oktober 2024 · 35 min
The Palme D’or winner from this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Anora is the latest film from director Sean Baker. Anora is also one of my favourite movies of the year so far. Co-supervising sound editors (and also the re-recording mixers) Andy Hay and John Warrin discuss how they molded the sound of this film. The film was largely shot docu-style with lots of overlapping dialogue and real life sound obtrusions, and a significant amount takes place in dance clubs with loud music blaring. These combined to make sound edit and mix particularly challenging.

281 - The Sound Team Of Saturday Night
11 oktober 2024 · 45 min
At the premier of Saturday Night at The Toronto International Film Festival, Director Jason Reitman made a special point of telling the audience that the sound team "put in a lot of work into making it feel like they didn't do any work at all". This is not the kind of film that you would think would have tricky sound obstacles, but that was not the case at all. Supervising Sound Editors Will Files, Lee Gilmore and David Butler, join production sound mixer Steven Morrow and music editor Chris Newlin to talk about the challenges they faced on this film. Don't miss part 2 of our coverage coming out next, featuring Jon Batiste about how the score was recorded on set during production?!

280 - The Sounding Board's Mixers Panel
6 oktober 2024 · 57 min
The Sounding Board 4.0 has just been announced by The Cinema Audio Society and The Motion Picture Sound Editors! So that makes it a great time to push out this talk from last year's Sounding Board, that was moderated by Tonebenders' host Tim Muirhead. We have all heard many interviews with Re-Recording Mixers, so as a contrast, this panel focuses on the rest of the important mixers involved in the audio post process. Foley Mixer Gary DeLeone (and his Foley Artist, Michell Kohen), ADR/Loop Group Mixer Jesse Dodd and Scoring Mixer David Boucher all get a spotlight to shine on their craft. This episode was recorded live in front of The Sounding Board's audience in October 2023.

279 - Inside Out 2
28 september 2024 · 46 min
Inside Out 2 takes the foundation of the original film and pushes those ideas even further, especially with sound design. Coya Elliot and Ren Klyce join the show to discuss how the glass memory balls became a much more important sound in this sequel and how they recorded and designed sounds for all the hockey sequences. They also talk about the lessons they learned from the first film as their dialog treatments went from mix theatre to real world cinemas, and the adjustments to their approach in part two. Lees meer

278 - Kneecap
21 september 2024 · 31 min
Kneecap is a film chock full of manic energy, about an Irish hip-hop group swept up into a political grassroots movement almost against their will. This perfect mix of the music, multiple languages and madcap sound design fuels the chaos around our main characters. The Audio Post team of Louise Burton (Dialog Supervisor), Richard Armstrong (Music Editor), Aza Hand (Re-Recording Mixer) and Brendan Rehill (Supervising Sound Editor) tell us about recording ADR for live music performances, creating and mixing crowds going bonkers and the tricky art of making stereo songs intended for home listening fill up a large cinema.

14 september 2024 · 33 min
Today we are going to be talking about field recording for the National Parks Service with recordist Chris Trevino. He tells us about his recent recording gig at Isle Royale Nation Park in Michigan, where he had his mics rolling in the park for 2 summer weeks. His goal was to capture the natural sounds of the pristine environment and the animals that call it home. Chris discusses how he got the contract with the Parks Service, how he prepared for 2 weeks with no power and what it took to pull it off once he was out in the wilderness.

6 september 2024 · 39 min
Deadpool & Wolverine is the biggest film of summer. It combines action and comedy in a rapid fire pace. The sound team behind the film joins me today to talk about how they managed dialog tracks where the main character is speaking behind a fabric mask and the importance of the interplay between iconic music drops that play over massive sound effects sequences. Supervising Sound Editors Ryan Cole and Craig Henighan are joined by re-recording mixer Lora Hirschberg and music editor Dan DiPrima for this fun discussion of the evolution of the sound from start to finish.

275 - Alien: Romulus
31 augustus 2024 · 49 min
As a longtime fan of the Alien franchise, I have been looking forward to seeing director Fede Alvarez's latest instalment Alien: Romulus. The sound team was tasked with designing an audible world that fit in with the original 1979 film but still lives in today's definition of what blockbusters should sound like. Supervising Sound Editors, Will Files and Lee Gilmore, are joined by Dialog/ADR supervisor Polly McKinnon and Sound Designer Chris Terhune to talk about the sounds of the Xenomorphs, launch sequences and building the ambiences before the film was shot. Also in you live in London, England, mark your calendar for Sept 24th, 2024, for Motion Picture Sound Editors Presents: The Tonebenders Sound Design Meet Up. At The Queens Head pub in Soho at 7pm.

272 - Longlegs
10 augustus 2024 · 28 min
Vancouver based Eugenio Battaglia joins us to go over his work as Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer and Re-Recording Mixer on Longlegs. The films amazingly successful theatrical run was fuelled by the unique sounds that drive this movie. Eugenio was instructed by director, Oz Perkins, that he wanted the film's soundscape to feel like rock & roll, so the film is infused with subtle sounds of vinyl records, things going backwards, and a vibe of being gritty and unhinged. There are a lot of fun and interesting sound decisions in Longlegs, from unusually loud foley and breathing to the Heartbeat of Hell!

27 juli 2024 · 27 min
We asked our listeners to submit their favourite field recordings and tell us the stories behind how they were captured, and we got some really great submissions. These stories prove that sound design is not for the weak of heart, as people are mauled by dogs or accidentally lit on fire. Other stories are tales of pure luck, by being in the right place at the right time. Listen to these adventures in sound submitted by Brad Nayman, Mark Mangini, Katrine Amsler, Ken Cain, Florian Abou Yehia, Jak Melvin, Frank Colburn, Dawid W. Mika and David Thomas.

269 - Remembering Ann Kroeber
25 juli 2024 · 1 uur 2 min
The sound design community lost one of its brightest stars this week, with the passing of Ann Kroeber. Ann was a legendary field recordists and she left a legacy of amazing sound work. Her talent especially soared with animal recordings. Her sounds are the basis of countless Hollywood creatures and animal characters. Tonebenders' host Tim Muirhead starts this episode with a few stories of his interactions with Ann that illustrate what a great person she was. Then we will roll into the full original interview Ann did with Tonebenders in May 2014. This is a fantastic interview that is very much worth a listen if you missed it a decade ago. We hope that playing this episode again can help keep her memory close to us all. She will be missed greatly. Lees meer

168 - Sound Design For Installations
19 juli 2024 · 45 min
Creating sound for an installation in a physical space, like a museum or for an art piece, is a whole different world then tackling the sound of a film or game. There are so many variables it can make your head explode, exhibition space acoustics need to be accounted for, speaker placement can be any arrangement you can dream up, client expectations need to be met and managed, playback systems must be designed from scratch. Every installation project is an entirely new animal, with very little carrying over from job to job. We brought in 4 guests with extensive experience in this rarely talked about medium, so you can listen in as Jeremy Bloom, Jenn Grossman, Mike Clemow and Brad Nayman and share their hard learned lessons.

22 juni 2024 · 21 min
Have you ever been watching a stand-up comedy special and felt like you were in the room the day it was recorded? A lot of that energy relies on the sound of the crowd as they laugh and react to what the performer is doing on stage. Vinny Alfano has worked on the audio post-production on stand-up specials from Mike Birbiglia, Sarah Silverman, Iliza Shlesinger, Louis C.K, David A. Arnold and more.

14 juni 2024 · 30 min
This show hits hard! Invincible may be an animated series, but it is definitely not for young kids. There are real consequences here, characters die, battles leave marks. The sound design has to be big and impactful to match the powers of the super heroes going toe to toe on screen. Punches are huge, explosions really go BOOM. Blood rains down. Supervising Sound Editor Brad Meyer, Re-Recording Mixer Jeff Shiffman and Sound Effects Editor Katie Jackson tell us the secrets behind the sound design of the punches, the endless blood, inter-dimensional portals and lots more.

264 - The Curse
7 juni 2024 · 42 min
How do you use sound to amplify feelings of awkwardness and discomfort? In The Curse the sound design is tasked with making the viewers skin crawl in a very unusual way. The series is not horror, but there are times you feel you have to look away. Long silences (that are never actually silent!) lead to unexpected emotions in both the characters on screen and those watching at home. The show's main characters, played Emma Stone, Benny Safdie and Nathan Fielder, lie to themselves and each other while their lives spiral as a result. It is quite a ride. Re-recording mixers Tim Hoogenakker and Larry Benjamin are joined by Production Sound mixer Phillip Bladh to explain how they captured and sculpted the sound to be an emotion driving force for the series.

How much Fun would it be to have the opportunity to record one of the few working B17 "Flying Fortress" planes that are still operational? The sound team from AppleTV's "Masters Of The Air" got to do just that. They were able put 60 microphones all over the B17, to record every part of it that made a noise. Then they took those sounds back to the sound editorial team and turned the recordings into to the amazing sound design of the intense air battles featured in the series. Supervising sound editor Jack Whittaker and re-recording mixers Michael Minkler & Duncan McRae tell us all about the challenges this series presented and the ways they met them.

262 - Mad Max: Fury Road with Oliver Machin (Re-Podcast)
25 mei 2024 · 1 uur 4 min
Today marks the opening weekend for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a prequel for the character first introduced in MadMax: Fury Road. So it seemed like a perfect time to reach into our archives and go back to May of 2015, when we did an episode with Oliver Machin about his work on Fury Road. Hear his amazing story of how the sounds of the vehicles used in the film, were recorded in the African desert days before they were destroyed in principle photography. It is one of my all time favourite Tonebenders episodes. As a bonus, Mark Mangini makes a short appearance discussing how important these recordings were to the final soundscape of the film. Make sure to go to our website to this episode's homepage (link below) to see dozens of fascinating pictures of Oliver recording the vehicles.

How do you tackle sound design for a massive car chase scene, that has a fist fight happening on top of the vehicles?

In this conversation they go down the road, on how to make a car crash sound impactful, what tools they use for cleaning up tricky dialog and how they deliver the reverb treatments for their sound design to the mixing stage.

260 - Sound Design For Westerns: Bass Reeves
17 mei 2024 · 28 min
For many people that work in sound design, their dream job would be to work on a western. There are the guns, the horses, the creaky floors, and most of all the dusty wide open spaces. They all provide a great playground to create compelling sound, to support the stories of lawmen and the outlaws they seek to bring to justice. So we got the sound team behind the new western series Lawman: Bass Reeves, to take us through how they made this series sound so great. Dialog & Music Re-Recording MIxer Lindsey Alvarez, Effects & Foley Re-Recording Mixer Brad Zoern and Supervising Sound Editor George Haddad, tell us why they love working in this genre.

10 mei 2024 · 30 min
In the new film Música (on Prime) we go into the musical mind of Rudy Mancuso. We learn how everyday sounds are re-contextualized into rhythms and music in his brain while he goes about his day. Because the POV of the film changes from what is real to what Rudy is hearing internally, the sound design and mix are extremely important to sell what is happening to the viewer. Re-Recording Mixers Christopher Aud (also Sound Supervisor) and Aaron Glascock take us through how the action "was recorded on set as if it was an orchestra" using up to 100 microphones, placed perfectly to capture each sound clearly. Then Sound Editorial and Mix had to go through everything that makes up the complex rhythms being played on camera by doors, knives, basketballs, and whatever else is handy. Lees meer

25 april 2024 · 30 min
Laurence Anslow, who recently recorded and mixed the score for the recent Percy Jackson series and also worked on Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, joins us this week. He is at the top of the game, and yet his workflows as a score recordist and mixer, are a complete mystery to many in audio post. So I asked him to come on the show and talk us through what a orchestral score recording session is like, how he delivers his tracks and who he is interacting with the most from the rest of the sound team. I learned a lot while talking with Laurence and I hope you are able to gain a bunch of knowledge as well.
