Every now and then, we get to talk to international sound design rockstars, and even though we primarily focus on the Dutch-speaking work field, we certainly don't let these special conversations pass us by. During the recent Dutch Film Festival, the VCA invited Paula Fairfield to talk about her work. Paula is most famous for her creature design work on series like Game of Thrones and House of Dragon. It was a memorable conversation between Aline and Paula about sound design, workflows, 'tempitis', and the high standards you can set for yourself, but also the boundaries you can establish with others. Big thanks to Paula Fairfield for allowing us to broadcast her very interesting, and inspiring Proftalk. And also a big thanks to the Dutch Film Festival for giving us this opportunity.
In late 2021 young filmmaker and audio person Juliana Henao Mesa released a documentary about women in film sound titled Listen To Us – Celebrating Women in Sound. In the process of creating that film, a lot of the interviews ended up being cut for flow and time, but Juliana reached out to us with the idea that we could air the rest of the thoughts and ideas of these amazing women on the podcast. So with that in mind we're very excited to release the unreleased conversations Juliana had with luminaries Sherry Klein, Paula Fairfield, April Tucker, Kim Patrick, Baihui Yang, Danielle Dupre, Karol Urban, Midge Costin, Vicky Samson, Paulette Lifton, Teri Dorman, Ceci Hall, Catherine Harper, Ulriika Akander, Katy Wood, and Anna Behlmer. sit back, relax and enjoy!
