In this episode, the guys share their predictions for the 2025 Oscars. They discuss some movies nominated this year, including a few they haven't seen yet. Each of them has their favorites in certain categories—Luis is rooting for animation, and Drew is excited about Best Sound. Who do you think will win Best Picture? Which movies will win the most Oscars? Let us know your thoughts!
Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...Feature Presentation: Spreading the Oscar Love - While we do agree on who we'd vote for in a majority of categories at this year's Academy Awards (step right up for another funny acceptance speech this season, Kieran Culkin), it was always going to be largely due to our mutual passion for Dune: Part Two and The Wild Robot once the nominations were announced. At the same time we do have a near equal amount of disagreement on each of our imaginary ballots even if it's mostly between winners and runner-ups. And as we each chose to abstain votes where we felt appropriate, there was only one pick where complete shenanigans were involved. It would make plenty of anonymous Academy voters proud!Yet somehow the shenanigans doesn't involve our individual or mutual bitterness with Hans Zimmer being deemed ineligible for his brilliant Dune: Part Two score, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross being snubbed for their top-tier musical craftsmanship in multiple categories for Challengers, or Marren Morris being ignored for her beautiful song, “Kiss the Sky”, from The Wild Robot, which both captures the emotions of the film during a pivotal scene while complementing the nominated score. Needless to say, Best Sound, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song turned into a long vent session despite playing fair with our votes.End Credits: Please make sure to Like, Follow, and Subscribe to Live Breathe Film!
Send us a textMonitor speakers are a necessity for most of our recording. But I have always had a problem with the sound of speakers, and I explain why in this episode.Speakers always exist in a space with boundaries, even outside. Our control rooms tend to be small, and making a small room sound good for performing or listening is a challenge. The monitor speakers and the control room form a system. The acoustics of the room have a big impact on the sound.I also compare the sound of headphones or earbuds with speakers, and provide some advantages and disadvantages of each.And I talk about immersive formats, like Dolby Atmos and the increased requirements for the speakers and the room.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/

Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Sir Steve McQueen joins us to discuss his latest feature, “Blitz,” alongside his acclaimed sound team. The film, which explores the harrowing experience of the London Blitz during World War II, is shortlisted for Best Sound at the upcoming Academy Awards. In this episode, McQueen and his team take a deep dive into the process of creating a visceral, immersive soundtrack that captures both the chaos and quiet moments of survival, all presented in stunning Dolby Atmos®. And the film starts off with a literal bang, all designed to plunge the audience directly into the horrors of this place and time.“The backbone of [films], for me as a filmmaker, is sound. It's always been sound. Sound is much more important to me than images in some ways. Because when you hear something, you feel the weight of it. When you hear something, you sort of even smell it… Images, yes, they illustrate. But they don't tell you about the size and the mass of things. And that's what we wanted to jump in with two feet with, immediately. With that terror.”—Sir Steve McQueen, Director, Producer, Screenwriter, “Blitz”Joining today's conversation: - Sir Steve McQueen – Director, Producer, and Screenwriter - Paul Cotterell – Re-Recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Editor - James Harrison – Re-Recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Editor - John Casali – Academy Award®-winning Production Sound MixerBe sure to check out “Blitz,” now streaming on AppleTV+ in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

You'll quickly learn why bringing this conversation with the legendary Willie D. Burton to you is such an incredible honor. History-making, Willie's the first Black person to ever win an Academy Award for Best Sound. It was for 1988's Bird, a biopic about the life of jazz musician Charlie Parker. In 2006, he won a second Academy Award for Dreamgirls, joining an elite club of African Americans in Hollywood who are multiple Oscar Award winners. We talk about how, at an early age, walking past a radio station ignited an interest in audio after he took a peek inside. Truly immersing himself in electronics through a school program, he graduated high school. Leaving his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama with $50 in his pocket, he relocated to Long Beach, California, later becoming a sonar technician in the Navy. About three years later, he began to pursue a career in audio. After amassing some work experience in sound, Willie shares a truly remarkable story about the time Sydney Poitier took a big chance on him for what would become Willie's first time working on a feature without having any prior feature credits to his name. Now, having worked on over 140 film and television projects, Willie's earned a total of 8 Academy Award nominations. They include The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and most recently, Oppenheimer. Willie's stories about working on the epic Oppenheimer movie with director Christopher Nolan provide a unique insight into their collaboration and technological approach to sound. Willie shares some great advice as well as his thoughts on the ever-evolving film industry and the power of following one's intuition in choosing projects. His latest, Captain America: Brave New World, premieres in 2025. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/postinblack/support

Welcome back to Silver Screen Social, listeners! I am your host Jackson Vickery. On this episode, I spoke to composers John Gürtler and Jan Miserre about their work on “The Outrun”. John Gürtler and Jan Miserre, both born in 1981, are award-winning composers known for their collaborative work in film music, particularly in international co-productions. John Gürtler, a London-born, Berlin-based multi-instrumentalist, is recognized for his ability to create diverse and emotionally resonant scores. He has received awards such as the European Film Award for his work on Nora Fingscheidt's “System Crasher” and the German Film Award for Best Sound for “No One's With the Calves.” His other notable projects include “A Mouthful of Air,” the Netflix series “Dig Deeper,” and “A Pure Place,” which won the German Film Critics Award for Best Score. Gürtler has also been acclaimed for his work on “Space Dogs” and “System Crasher,” the latter earning him the European Original Score 2019.Gürtler's collaborations span artists like Berghain resident Efdemin, Thomas Bloch, and the Film Orchestra Babelsberg. Additionally, he's dedicated to fostering new talent through his teaching at film schools across Germany. Jan Miserre, from Erlangen, Bavaria, was influenced by his jazz saxophonist father and began playing piano at age four and drums at twelve. He studied Jazz Piano at the University of Arts in Berlin and has toured internationally, working with artists such as Till Brönner and Curtis Stigers. Miserre has received several awards, including the GEMA Musik Author's Prize for New Talent and the German Documentary Music Award. In 2022, he and Gürtler won Best Score from the German Film Critics Association for “A Pure Place.” Together, Gürtler and Miserre focus on international co-productions, often working on projects from their base in Berlin. They frequently travel to other countries or invite musicians from around the globe to collaborate with them in Berlin. Their diverse backgrounds and collaborative energy create compelling scores for film and television, earning them widespread acclaim and numerous awards.

When it comes to films that have left a lasting mark on the horror genre, few can rival the terrifying power of The Exorcist (1973). Directed by William Friedkin and adapted from William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel, The Exorcist shattered boundaries with its unflinching portrayal of demonic possession and the battle between good and evil. Released in December 1973, the film captivated audiences and sparked controversy for its graphic content and shocking themes. This review will explore why The Exorcist (1973) remains a pinnacle of horror cinema, from its groundbreaking storytelling to its cultural and cinematic significance.A Simple Story Elevated by Complex ThemesAt its core, The Exorcist (1973) tells a simple yet profoundly disturbing story. It revolves around the possession of a young girl, Regan MacNeil (played by Linda Blair), and the desperate efforts of her mother, Chris (Ellen Burstyn), to save her. The family's only hope rests with two priests, Father Karras (Jason Miller) and the seasoned exorcist, Father Merrin (Max von Sydow). While the premise seems straightforward—a child in peril, religious figures battling a supernatural force—the film digs deeper into themes of faith, guilt, and the fragility of human existence.One of the key elements that makes The Exorcist so unsettling is its exploration of faith, or rather, the loss of it. Father Karras is a man wracked by doubt. He's a priest who has lost his mother, a psychiatrist struggling to reconcile his beliefs with the suffering he sees in the world. His personal crisis mirrors the larger question the film asks: what do we do when confronted with something truly evil? This is the tension at the heart of The Exorcist, elevating the film from mere shock value to something far more existential and terrifying.Unforgettable PerformancesThe performances in The Exorcist (1973) are nothing short of iconic, particularly that of Linda Blair as the possessed Regan. Blair's transformation from a sweet, innocent child to a terrifying vessel for a demon is astonishing. It's a performance that pushes the limits of what was previously expected from child actors, and it's still regarded as one of the most chilling portrayals in horror history. Her physical and emotional range—enhanced by the groundbreaking makeup effects of Dick Smith—leaves a lasting impact. Every contorted expression every guttural sound that emerges from her during the possession sequences is haunting.Ellen Burstyn's portrayal of a desperate mother is equally powerful. Chris MacNeil's descent from a successful actress to a mother on the verge of breakdown is heart-wrenching. The film builds up her growing terror and helplessness as Regan worsens, creating a harrowing portrait of maternal despair.Jason Miller's conflicted Father Karras is a revelation. His nuanced performance of a man wrestling with his faith adds emotional depth to the film's supernatural elements. Meanwhile, Max von Sydow's Father Merrin is the stoic, wise counterpoint to Karras' inner turmoil. Although Merrin's character is more of a traditional hero, von Sydow brings gravitas and world-weariness to the role, making the final confrontation all the more gripping.Pushing the Boundaries of Special EffectsIn 1973, audiences had never seen anything quite like The Exorcist. The special effects, many of which were practical, broke new ground in horror filmmaking. From Regan's spider-walk down the stairs to the levitation scenes, the film's visual shocks have become legendary. The makeup that transforms Blair's face into something grotesque, the vomit spewing, the rotating head—these effects still hold up today and remain unsettling even in a world where digital effects dominate.But it's not just the visual effects that make The Exorcist so memorable. The sound design plays a crucial role in heightening the terror. The eerie soundscape, from the unnatural voices Regan speaks to, to the house's creaking, creates a sensory overload that gets under your skin. And who could forget Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells? While not initially composed for the film, the track has become synonymous with The Exorcist, its hypnotic rhythm forever tied to the creeping sense of dread the movie invokes.Cultural Impact and ControversyThe release of The Exorcist (1973) sparked widespread debate and controversy. Audiences were reportedly fainting, vomiting, and fleeing theatres in panic due to the intensity of the film. In fact, the film was banned in several countries and faced resistance from religious groups who considered it blasphemous. The stark depiction of exorcism and the visceral horrors it presented hit a nerve with the public. It challenged not just what could be shown on screen but how far filmmakers could push the boundaries of audience tolerance.Despite—or perhaps because of—its controversy, The Exorcist was a massive commercial success. It became the first horror film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, ultimately taking home two Oscars for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Sound. More importantly, it shifted the landscape of horror cinema. The film proved that horror could be more than just campy monster flicks or psychological thrillers; it could be raw, visceral, and deeply disturbing. It opened the door for a more sophisticated brand of horror, one that wasn't afraid to tackle profound themes alongside graphic imagery.Enduring LegacyWhat makes The Exorcist (1973) endure over fifty years later is not just its capacity to shock but its ability to ask timeless questions. The film doesn't merely present a battle between good and evil; it challenges viewers to confront their own beliefs about the nature of evil, faith, and redemption. This is why The Exorcist still resonates with audiences today—it forces us to consider the fragility of the human condition and the possibility that something incomprehensible, something truly terrifying, may lurk in the shadows.Moreover, The Exorcist set the bar for future horror films, influencing a generation of filmmakers. Its blend of psychological depth, religious horror, and disturbing imagery can be seen in countless horror classics that followed, from The Omen to Hereditary. The film also left its mark on pop culture, referencing Regan's possession and the infamous exorcism scenes becoming staples in parody, tribute, and analysis.Final ThoughtsThe Exorcist (1973) remains one of the most important and influential films in horror history. Its stellar performances, groundbreaking special effects, and thought-provoking themes make it more than just a scary movie—it's a cinematic experience that forces audiences to confront their deepest fears.

In this episode of the SoundBites podcast, host Dave Fabry compiles answers from various guests to three personal questions about hearing. The first question asks what sound the guests would miss the most if they couldn't hear their best. Answers range from the sound of heels clicking on tile to children's laughter and the music of family. The second question asks for memorable moments or events where sound played a key role, with responses including performing on stage, hearing the bugling of an elk, and the sound of birds in the morning. The final question asks about the guests' least favorite sound, with answers including people brushing their teeth, a child's shriek, and the screeching of subway wheels. The episode also promotes Starkey's Best Sound Ever contest, where people can vote for the best sound in the world.

Hardo Nick Caserio, best sounds from yesterday's presser.
Cyndi and Aimee discuss the Academy Award winning movie Zone of Interest, awarded Oscars for Best International Film and Best Sound. Uniquely filmed from the view of the perpetrators of The Holocaust, rather than the victims, this is film that will stay with you, and cause deep reflection. The extremes of what humanity can look past, and exactly why this is justified, is a reality that must be seen and grappled with. Zone of Interest is truly a great work of art. To schedule Cyndi to speak to your group, contact Cyndi at TheCyndiPetersonShow@gmail.com. Cyndi's book, Waiting for a Miracle: One Mother's Journey to Unshakable Faith can be purchased on Amazon.com or reach out to Cyndi at TheCyndiPetersonShow@gmail.comfor a personally signed copy mailed directly to you.
When Bose introduced their Acoustic Wave Music System in 1984, Sound & Vision Magazine said that it delivered “possibly the best reproduced sound many people have ever heard.” Since then, we now have companies like Sonos, Denon, and of course Apple, who are constantly striving for the best possible audio. Sound has a tremendous effect on people. This is why in the Bible, in 1st Corinthians 14:7, the Apostle Paul says that we who are Christians are like musical instruments. If we don't make the right sounds no one will understand what they mean. If you're a Christian today, you're announcers, instruments, and sound systems for the Kingdom. Is God happy with the quality of your sound?

'The Zone of Interest' is a Holocaust drama about a Nazi commandant's family living next to the Auschwitz concentration camp.

It is nominated for five Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director - Jonathan Glazer, Best Adapted Screenplay - Jonathan Glazer, Best International Feature Film, Best Sound
Much of the horror in the Holocaust film "The Zone of Interest" is not about what you see on screen, but the terrifying noises you hear in the distance. We talk about that creative choice with Oscar nominated sound designer Johnnie Burn as part of our series "The Big Picture," which focuses on nominees who work behind the camera.

"The Creator" contained one of the most fascinating productions of 2023 as it was shot uncommonly compared to other studio-backed sci-fi blockbusters of today to keep its budget low. The work throughout post-production was equally as interesting as the Oscar-nominated Sound Editor and Sound Designers Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van Der Ryn, and Production Sound Mixer Ian Voigt were kind enough to lend us their perspective on what went into creating the sound for Gareth Edwards' film. Please be sure to check out the film, which is available to stream now on Disney+ and is up for your consideration for Best Sound & Best Visual Effects at the 96th Academy Awards.
