Chris and Zeek are the writer/director team behind PROSPECT, an indie sci-fi film that broke through the ceiling of its budget and has since gone on to find its audience on streaming.

Even though Chris and Zeek were happy with their film, they couldn’t help but think that there must be a better way to get a budget for their film while retaining creative control and including the wider community around the project. With the birth of NFTs, they think they have found that answer.

Today, Ryan chats with the filmmakers about their new venture with The Fringe and how it might change how films are made forever.

Each episode we talk with location sound mixers, boom ops and other industry pros about the various aspects of recording sound on-location for feature and independent films, TV commercials, interviews, anytime where dialog from actors is recorded. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or just starting out, this podcast is packed with great stories and lessons about recording on-location.

In this episode we talk to the sound team behind the new Halo TV series, with Supervising Sound Editor Jane Tattersall, Re-Recording Mixers Matthew Chan and Lou Solakofski as well as Sound Designer Brennan Mercer. They tell us about their ATMOS workflow from sound editorial to remote playbacks, their philosophies behind making ambience tracks feel full of life and the many different voice treatments in the series. We also dig deep into how the sounds for the Spartan’s armoured suits were built with examples of each layer.

Leif Sunesson lärde sig tidigt att uppfatta sin omgivning via sin hörsel – han ekolokaliserar med samma princip som delfiner och fladdermöss.

Vi möter Leif i hans hem i Göteborg i ett samtal om ljudets betydelse och vi följer med honom ut för att lära oss att höra det han ser.
Vi spelar in programmet med en mikrofon som härmar hur människans öra hör ljud, ett så kallat stereohuvud, lyssna därför gärna på programmet i hörlurar!
