Our coverage of the 2023 Academy Awards continues with another film on the Best Sound shortlist — “Babylon.” The work of director Damien Chazelle (“La La Land,” “Whiplash”) is certainly no stranger to awards season, so this is definitely a film to watch out and, in this case, listen for.Joining us today is re-recording mixer, sound designer, and supervising sound editor Ai-Ling Lee; supervising sound editor Mildred Iatrou Morgan; and production sound mixer Steve Morrow. If you've seen the film then you already know it is a bombastic depiction of Hollywood decadence in the time of transition from the silent film era to “the talkies.” And from the what we've heard in today's episode, the production was appropriately over-the-top as well.“Damien's thing was — ‘this is great, but let's go bigger.' I think Margot Robbie had a story where she said, ‘I put everything out there and I was going crazy.' And he walked over and I thought, ‘oh, that's it. He's gonna tell me to tone it back.' And he goes, ‘ok, can you go a little bigger than that?' That was kind of the idea behind the whole film. It's — let's go bigger, let's go bolder, let's go beyond what's reasonable, and then we can pull back from there. But let's just see where that line is. And so that's how we treated it on production. We just went as extreme as we could.”—Steve Morrow, Production Sound Mixer, “Babylon”Be sure to check out Babylon in a theater near your, in Dolby Atmos® where available.Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.

Ai-Ling Lee was born in Singapore where she studied music audio engineering. After two years of mixing and editing commercials and music, she moved to Los Angeles in 1998 to pursue a career in sound design for feature films. Since then she has worked as a sound designer, re-recording mixer, and sound supervisor on a variety of films including JoJo Rabbit, La La Land, First Man, Deadpool, Wild, Maze Runner, and Buena Vista Social Club. Ai-Ling has had the opportunity to work with directors Damien Chazelle, Taika Waititi, Jean-Marc Vallée, Noah Hawley, Wes Ball, Cameron Crowe, Gus Van Sant, and Sam Raimi, to name a few. She has been nominated for four Academy Awards (editing and mixing), two BAFTA, nine MPSE awards, and won a CAS award for Best Sound Mixing.

In this two-part episode, First Man’s sound editing nominees Ai-Ling Lee and Mildred Iatrou Morgan and sound mixing nominees Frank Montaño and Jon Taylor join composer Justin Hurwitz and picture editor Tom Cross to discuss how the film’s documentary look (it was filmed in Super-16mm) affected the approach to sound and music, and how the sound elements contributed to the understanding of how dangerous the early space flights were. In part two, we join Production sound mixer Mary Ellis as she talks about the challenges of recording the production tracks for the film, including the complex system they devised to record dialog inside the astronauts’ helmets in the cramped space capsule.

Mildred Iatrou Morgan & Ai-Ling Lee sit in with us for this episode. They were the co-supervising sound editors on Damien Chazelle's recent film First Man.   They talk about the epic challenge of bringing this film to life, knowing so much of the plot uniquely depends on sound to tell the story of the first moon landing.

Academy Award- and Grammy-winning composer Justin Hurwitz, sound supervisor and re-recording mixer Ai-Ling Lee, sound supervisor Mildred Iatrou, re-recording mixer Frank Montaño, re-recording mixer Jon Taylor, and Academy Award-winning picture editor Tom Cross discuss how the film’s documentary look (it was filmed in Super-16mm) affected the approach to sound and music, how the sound elements contributed to the understanding of how dangerous the early space flights were, and why it was important to focus on the sound of an errant fly in the space capsule.

Not many people with an interest in film have the direction to start pursuing sound at an early point in their career. It seems, rather, that through working on various projects they come to realize how powerful a tool sound really is and fall head over heels in love. If it's early enough in their career, there's plenty of work to be found and no turning back. For Milly Iatrou Morgan and Ai-Ling Lee, this was certainly the case. All it took was a simple choice followed by years of dedication to find their way as two of the biggest sound designers in the industry today. Their latest collaboration is Damien Chazelle's 'First Man', one of the biggest movies of the year in both popularity and scale. The film, which tells the story of Neil Armstrong's ascent to the moon, is densely layered with filmic tricks that when combined together create a wholly immersive experience for the audience. And while much fuss has been made over the project's expansive visuals, it would truly be nothing without the genius sound work of these two individuals. No Film School's Jon Fusco sat down with the pair at TIFF to discuss how they first decided to enter the business, gathering libraries of sound over the years and their collaboration in post with director and composer on what will surely go down in history as one of cinema's greatest space stories.

Part of this year's more diversified Academy Award nominations, Ai-Ling Lee and Mildred Iatrou Morgan have been nominated for Best Sound Editing for La LA Land; becoming the first all-female team nominated in the category (Ai-Ling is also nominated for Best Sound Mixing along with Andy Nelson and Steve A. Morrow). As sound supervisors and designers on the project, their job was to lead the teams that brought every sound you hear. With a heavy emphasis on using production sound versus pre-recorded mixes of music; the performances in the film often feel more organic and real, not so decentered from the overall sound of the narrative as is customary with the genre. This approach informs every step of the audio process; a fine balance of imaginary realism, with key components of audio that connect to the makeup of our everyday living.

In Part 1 of this episode, Steve Morrow (Best Sound Mixing) describes his work as the production sound mixer on this contemporary movie musical filmed largely on location in Los Angeles, and the challenges of capturing the live on-set signing of stars Ryan Gossling and Emma Stone. In Part 2, Ai-Ling Lee (nominated for Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing) and Mildred Iatrou (Best Sound Editing) discuss weaving the sung performances into a magical musical design soundscape.
