In this episode of Final_Final_Locked, our host Sally Fryer ASE chats with Matt Villa ASE ACE and Wayne Pashley. They discuss the relationship between picture and sound editors in relation to their collaboration on the 2022 film Elvis. To find out more about the Australian Screen Editors Guild check out our ⁠⁠website⁠⁠.

Today, I'm sitting down with Wayne Pashley, the Oscar-Nominated Sound Editor & Sound Designer best known for Baz Luhrmann's ELVIS. We talk about the immense technical undertaking of re-creating Elvis's iconic music and voice, and why this ELVIS wasn't a biopic, but an opera. He's had a legendary career with Director Baz Luhrmann, but he also created the sonic chaos of MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Wayne tells us how he got his start in the business, about being a part of the Australian New Wave of Movies, and what it means to create sonic glue!  This is a great talk with a fabulous artist, so please listen, share, and enjoy.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We're wrapping up our coverage of awards season with a look at the Oscars ceremony itself, and my guests are three quarters of the sound team nominated for their work on "Elvis". Wayne Pashley, David Lee and Michael Keller bring a below-the-line perspective to the honor of “just being nominated”, the challenge of bringing guests to the Academy Awards, and the differences between what they experienced live versus what the rest of us observed on the broadcast. And if you want to hear about the after-parties? Listen to the end if you're curious about Baz Lurhmann's AFTER after-party at Chateau Marmont.

Baz Luhrmann's "Elvis" had its world premiere at the Cannes International Film Festival, went on to gross over $280 million, and is nominated for 8 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for its leading star, Austin Butler and Best Sound. Austin was gracious to spend a few minutes talking with Zoe Rose Bryant about his process for becoming Elvis Presley, working with Baz, his reaction to the film's success, who he wants to work with next, and more. Following that, the Oscar-nominated supervising sound editor, sound designer, and re-recording mixer, Wayne Pashley, goes into great detail about the sound work for the film with Ema Sasic.

Sound Designer Wayne Pashley join us to talk about their work on Elvis. Elvis Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBDLRvjHVOY Executive Produced by Daniel Miller and Monika Ditton Artwork Designed by Piotr Motyka Music by ELPHNT Contact: creativeindustryinsight@gmail.com

Baz Luhrmann's “Elvis”, like all of his films, is an audacious fusion of sight and sound, and Wayne Pashley, the owner/co-founder of Big Bang Sound Design, has been working with Baz for more than 30 years. Credited as the re-recording mixer, sound designer and supervising sound editor on “Elvis”, Wayne is uniquely qualified to talk about the “sonic glue” that helps hold the whole construct together. 

In this episode I chat to sound supervisor Wayne Pashley and composer/music producer Elliott Wheeler about their work on the new Elvis biopic directed by Baz Luhrmann. I joined Wayne at his studio Big Bang Sound Design, and Elliott Skyped in from the US. We chatted about their history working with Baz Luhrmann, the intense collaboration between sound design and music necessary for a soundtrack this dense, the contextual news recordings that Wayne used as “sonic glue” and the joy of bringing Elvis's music to a contemporary audience.

Editors – Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond, Sound Designer/Re-recording Mixer/Supervising Sound Editor - Wayne Pashley ELVIS editors Matt Villa and Jonathan "Jono" Redmond are no strangers to director Baz Luhrmann's unique style of cinema.  For that matter, neither is Sound Designer and Re-recording mixer, Wayne Pashley.   Matt and Jono first worked together on MOULIN ROUGE! (2001) with Jono serving as 1st assistant editor and Matt doing VFX editing.  Wayne Pashley goes all the way back with Baz Luhrmann to Baz's first film, STRCITLY BALLROOM (1992).  But it was Luhrmann's THE GREAT GATSBY (2013) where Matt, Jono and Wayne first worked together on a film for the acclaimed Aussie director. Delivered in Luhrmann's trademark style of lush soundscapes and rich, high-energy visuals, ELVIS is told through the voice of  Elvis Presley's former manager, "Colonel Tom Parker".  While on his deathbed in 1997, Parker recalls how he discovered the future King of Rock and Roll and chronicles their time together throughout Elvis' ascension to icon status, as well as the downward spiral that ultimately led to Presley's death in 1977. MATT VILLA Matt Villa is known for PREDESTINATION (2014), The Great Gatsby (2013) and The Lego Batman Movie (2017). JONATHAN REDMOND Jono Redmond is known for his work as 1st assistant editor (digital) for MOULIN ROUGE! (2001) and editor for THE GREAT GATSBY (2013) and THE GET DOWN (2016-17).

I went down to Big Bang Studios in Rosebery to chat with director Mike Green, sound designer Peter Climpson and mixer Wayne Pashley, who I'd previously talked to in my episode about Mad Max. We chatted about Mike's debut feature, Outback, a psychological thriller set in the Australian desert, how Mike and Peter developed a style in the films soundtrack, and what Wayne was able to bring as a seasoned sound mixer.Outback premieres at Monsterfest in Melbourne on Saturday 12th October.

This is from my sound chat with Wayne Pashley a few years ago now about his post work on the Great Gatsby with Leoardo De Caprio

This is from a few years ago with Wayne Pashley and he gives me a glimpse into the raw performance of dialogue to change and bring characters to life

In this special episode I talked to the Oscar-winning director of the Mad Max franchise, George Miller, as well as many of the people behind the soundtrack of this visceral action film, including David White, Wayne Pashley, Derryn Pasquill, Mark Wasiutak and Andrew Miller. In this comprehensive look at a franchise, I discuss with them how George approaches sound in his his films, the extensive pre-production process of Fury Road, the difficulties of the production sound, creating sonic personalities for cars and how they translated George's vision into a concrete soundtrack. This debut is not to be missed!

Wayne Pashley, supervising sound designer for Australia, gives an overview of how he combines on-set recordings and post production sound effects to let viewers see the movie with their ears.
