NOTE: This episode contains SPOILERS from the second season and season finale of Severance. Today we let Kier guide us into the extraordinary sound work of season two of "Severance," the hit Apple TV+ series from creator Dan Erickson and director Ben Stiller. Focusing on the groundbreaking storytelling of episodes 207 and 210, Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer Jacob Ribicoff, Re-recording Mixer Bob Chefalas, and David Schwartz (the Production Sound Mixer on those two episodes), break down how they crafted the show's eerie, minimalist sonic landscape. They explore everything from the show's surreal dreamlike ambiences and rhythmic sound/music interplay, to that unforgettable marching band sequence in the season finale. “One of the primary objectives, according to Ben [Stiller], was that Lumon should be a quiet place, a place with the air sucked out of it… I thought, wouldn't that be really interesting to create room tones out of breathing, out of breath, and actually just fold those in and mix those in with normal room tones? So there's kind of some animal breath and some human breath in there — like, very long… just a breath that just goes on for an entire scene.” —Jacob Ribicoff, Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer, “Severance” Be sure to check out “Severance,” now streaming on AppleTV+, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

Robert Egger's latest film, Nosferatu, is loaded with dread. That feeling of dread is largely delivered by the amazing sound design created by Damian Volpe (Sound Designer, Re-recording Mixer & Supervising Sound Editor), Steve Little (Supervising Sound Editor, Dialog Editor & Supervising ADR Editor) and the rest of the sound team. Egger's instructions were to base everything on organic sounds, so eerie ambiences were built out of the actors breathing and machines were built to create haunting winds. They also discuss the voice processing that was done to create the iconic voice of Count Orlock and lots more.

Visionary director Robert Eggers joins forces with acclaimed sound artist Damian Volpe to deliver a stunning reimagining of the classic vampire tale “Nosferatu.” In this episode, Eggers and Volpe take us behind the scenes to discuss how they used cutting-edge sound design and Dolby Atmos® to create a truly terrifying and immersive experience. From the spectral sounds of Count Orlok's castle to the brilliant use of silence and dynamic range, this conversation unpacks the intricate audio techniques that make the film so unforgettable.“I mean, it begins even before [the first scene] with the quote-unquote logo animations. [We] recreated silent film-style logos… with audio analog hiss and some wind, which morph into each other. You know, I think these horror film cold openings that end with a jump scare, when they're done successfully… keep you on edge of your seat for the rest of the film because… you know that anything's possible.”—Robert Eggers - Director, Writer, and Producer, “Nosferatu”Joining today's conversation: - Damian Volpe - Sound Designer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Re-recording Mixer - Robert Eggers - Director, Writer, and ProducerDamian Volpe also wanted to thank his fellow team members: - Steve Little - Sound Supervisor - David Giammarco - Re-recording Mixer - Michael Fentum - Sound Designer - Heikki Kossi - Foley Artist - Shelley Rodin - Foley Artist - Joel Raabe - Foley Editor/Mixer - Grace Wong - Assistant Sound Editor - Tim Hands - ADR Editor - Samir Foco - Sound Effects EditorBe sure to check out “Nosferatu” in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, when it premieres in the U.S. on December 25th.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.

We often talk about how gorgeous the Alien films look. How lived-in they feel, how great the ship designs are, how iconic the creatures have become. But so much of what makes the Alien Saga special isn't visual at all: it's what they sound like. In today's episode, Jaime, Patrick, Christian, and Adam chat with Lee Gilmore, Alien: Romulus' Supervising Sound Editor, about the huge honor—and challenge—of adding to that rich sonic history with this new film.  Wondering how they got the Corbelan IV to sound so real? How they managed to make the xenomorph's iconic scream feel more terrifying than ever? Join as as Lee takes us on a journey through the amazing sound design of Alien: Romulus.

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!

Episoe 104 - This time I chat with Ahsoka producer and ILM VFX Supervisor, Richard Bluff along with his colleague Matthew Wood, Supervising Sound Editor.Key takeaways:The collaboration between sound and visual effects departments is crucial in creating a cohesive and immersive experience for the audience.Early involvement of sound in the production process helps inform the visuals and enhances the storytelling.The use of practical effects, such as miniatures, can provide a unique and grounded look to the visuals.Designing and creating sound for ships in the Star Wars universe involves a balance between familiar elements and new, unique sounds.The organic and mysterious nature of the Eye of Sion and the witches' voices in Ahsoka adds depth and intrigue to the storytelling.The balance between using technology and practical effects is a constant consideration in visual effects production. The use of LED screens allowed for interactive lighting and realistic reflections in the visual effects of 'The Mandalorian' and 'The Book of Boba Fett'.Collaboration between the visual effects and sound departments was crucial in creating the desired effects and atmosphere for the shows.The Howlers were created using a combination of motion bases, horses, and visual effects to achieve a realistic and dynamic performance.The creative team is constantly looking for new techniques and technologies to improve the visual effects and sound design of the series.Ahsoka is available to watch on Disney+.Enjoy!Donate ButtonAll the links

This week we discuss the sound, music, and cinematography of “Masters of the Air,” the epic WWII limited series from Apple TV+. With so many films and shows about World War II over the past several decades, one of the biggest challenges of the series was keeping things fresh. So the creative teams took some ingenious approaches to give every episode and action sequence a unique look, sound, and feel.“Because there's so much time spent in the air with these planes, and so many different planes, we really wanted to sell the geography of each location within each plane and also each and every different plane. So one of the ways that we did that was that Mike [Minkler] and I had the different sequences cut by different people, with a fresh take. Or I did this particular sequence, and then I would hand it off to another editor. Or they would do that, and then pass it to me. And so we had a lot of interplaying around with each other's material, which I think keeps it really fresh, whilst not just copying and pasting material. When you have this much time in the air, you really need to keep the listener involved and their ear kind of excited at all times.”—Jack Whittaker, Supervising Sound Editor, “Masters of the Air”Joining our conversation:- Supervising Sound Editor Jack Whittaker - Re-recording Mixer Duncan McRae- Re-recording Mixer Michael Minkler- Composer Blake Neeley- Cinematographer Jac FitzgeraldBe sure to check out “Masters of the Air” on Apple TV+.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 Institute and check out Dolby.com.

Continuing our coverage of the 2024 Academy Awards®, we have another all-star team of sound artists whose work on “Maestro” is nominated in the Best Sound category.Today's panel includes:- Richard King, Sound Designer & Supervising Sound Editor.- Tom Ozanich, Re-recording Mixer.- Dean A. Zupancic, Re-recording Mixer.- Steven Morrow, Production Sound Mixer.“Maestro” is a highly stylized yet intimate film about Leonard Bernstein: his fraught marriage, his affairs, his family, and - of course - his storied career. This gave director Bradley Cooper an amazing opportunity to conduct extensive recreations of some of the composer's famous concerts, all recorded live on set — including that unforgettable concert at Ely Cathedral:“We shot for the first day and, in Bradley's words, he was saying he wasn't really feeling it. He was just nervous about the whole thing. Because it's decades of building up to this moment, in front of the best orchestra in the world, and you're pretending to be the conductor. And the pressure that you're putting on yourself to be perfect and you're just not hitting it. And so he came in the next day and said, ‘let me do it one more time, and let's just do this one shot where the camera goes around… Our film is really just this big wide shot. Let's shoot this shot with a crane. Come all the way around, come back around, by the end of the song, be over Felicia's shoulder, and that's it.' We shot that on the last day, the last take. And that was it. I mean, that was done. As soon as that take was over, everybody knew we had it.”—Steven Morrow, Sound Mixer, “Maestro”Be sure to check out “Maestro,” now streaming on Netflix in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, ahead of the Academy Awards, live from the Dolby Theatre® on March 10th!For more awards season coverage, please subscribe to The Dolby Creator Talks 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.

It is the second film to be directed by Academy Award-nominee Bradley Cooper following "A Star Is Born" and features him and Academy Award-nominee Carey Mulligan transforming into Leonard Bernstein and his wife, Felicia Montealegre.

All three interviews can be listened to below.

We're back with James Mather, Supervising Sound Editor on “Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation” and "Fallout" and Sound Designer and Supervising Sound Editor on “Top Gun: Maverick!” This week we dive into "Maverick," tease "Dead Reckoning Part One," and talk about the heartbeat sound during the Torus scene in "Rogue Nation." Also: "Wallace and Gromit!"

As we continue our 2023 Awards coverage, today we are talking to the sound team behind another film on the Best Sound Academy Awards shortlist — “Avatar: The Way of Water.”Joining us is four-time Academy Award winning re-recording mixer, supervising sound editor, and sound designer Christopher Boyes; supervising sound editor Dick Bernstein; re-recording mixer Michael Hedges; sound mixer Julian Howarth; and supervising sound editor Gwendolyn Yates Whittle.As you'll hear about in detail in this interview, every member of the sound and music teams needed to work very closely together, in a concerted effort, to make the sound of this film as clean and as clear as possible. Or as James Cameron would often put it, “clarity is king.” Easier said than done with a movie this complex.“In the end, Avatar — visually — is such a complicated image. And I think the human brain can easily take that in and enjoy it. But we — delivering the sound of Avatar — have to work against that, because the human brain can look at all those beautiful visuals, but can't necessarily process a thousand different sonic notions. Really, we wanna simplify it and get the sound to speak to the story that we're trying to tell. And it's not part of the story, it doesn't belong in the track.”— Christopher Boyes, Re-recording Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Sound Designer, “Avatar: The Way of Water”“Avatar: The Way of Water” is now in theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®, where available.Be sure to check out our earlier episode with Gwendolyn Yates Whittle, on dialogue editing and ADR.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.

Multiple Academy Award winning director Alejandro G. Iñárritu joins us to discuss his latest work, the surreal, yet somehow pseudo-autobiographical film, “BARDO, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths.” Since this episode focuses almost exclusively on the sound of the film, joining the conversation is much of the film's sound team:Martín Hernández - Supervising Sound Editor and Sound DesignerSantiago Núñez - Production Sound MixerJon Taylor - Re-recording MixerKen Yasumoto - Re-recording Mixer and Sound DesignerWhile the film is truly a visually stunning epic, the director focused much of his attention on the audio, because, as he put it:“I really think that this film is — audio, 75% [of the experience]… It's my favorite film, audio-wise, by far. I think it's a much more complex and difficult film than I have done. And the work that this team did is invaluable. And the experience of the audio in Dolby Atmos — you can close your eyes and really understand and feel the film. So I think the job that this team did is absolutely extraordinary. I'm very happy with it.”— Alejandro G.

Director Joseph Kosinski and his sound team discuss their groundbreaking work on the hit sequel to the classic 80s film "Top Gun." Joining the discussion are re-recording mixers Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor, as well as supervising sound editors James Mather, Al Nelson, and Bjørn Schroeder. Since most of the movie's flight scenes were filmed practically (or "in-camera") without relying on too many visual effects in post-production, this created some unique challenges for the sound team. “It was a great catching up with [production sound mixer] Mark Weingarten after he was done with the shoot. And I know that he had a lot of challenges in the beginning just to get those recorders into the cockpit because they had to go through a lot of different steps to ensure the safety. They had to make sure that they could still use the ejector seat just in case of an emergency. So this little recorder had to eject with them, they had to be separate from the cameras. I think it was really important to [director] Joe [Kosinski] and [producer] Tom [Cruise] and everyone in the crew that they could keep it simple and that they could basically trigger the recording before they took off and do all the recordings.” — Bjørn Schroeder, Supervising Sound Editor, "Top Gun: Maverick""The truth of flying in these airplanes is: They're not that interesting to listen to. When you're inside doing it, it looks spectacular and it feels incredible; and from the outside these jets are deafening and have so much character, depending on where it is relative to you and how fast it's moving. But from the inside, it's very much like riding on an airliner. It's that kind of constant hum. So a big challenge of this film was figuring out, 'okay, that's reality. So we've got this really realistic image that was captured, but how do we get the emotion that we wanna feel from the soundtrack in this?' And that is not easy. There was a lot of — obviously — work and effort from design through mixing to achieve that. And luckily we've got a whole panel full of experts here to take us through that."— Joseph Kosinski, Director, "Top Gun: Maverick"With Awards Season fast approaching, this is certainly a film to look out for in the Best Sound category, and this episode offers a unique insight into just how much went into crafting such a thrilling and dynamic mix.Check out "Top Gun: Maverick" today, available in Dolby Atmos® and Dolby Vision®, 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.
