216 - Mark Jenkin Director of Bait and Enys Men Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

BAFTA Award winning director Mark Jenkin joins us to talk about his unique approach to sound for his films. He shoots his films on a bolex camera, entirely without sound and only adds ADR (which he records himself) after the film is edited. He also writes and records the score himself. All of this to make utterly unique films that have found both an audience and critical acclaim in the UK and beyond.

211 - Women Talking Jan 12, 2023

Show notes

This talk with the sound team behind director Sarah Polly's new film, Women Talking, was recorded on location at Formosa Studios in Toronto. The film offered some surprisingly difficult sound issues, including an incredibly tricky dialog clean up and edit. Predominantly in a single location, sound was left to tell the story outside those walls. Supervising Sound Editors Jane Tattersall & David McCallum as well as re-recording mixer Joe Morrow give us a deep dive on how this soundtrack came together.
