INDUSTRY FEEDBACK:
Randy Thom, Director of Sound Design, Skywalker Sound
“In the struggle to free sound from its second class status in film, the SoundWorks Collection videos have quickly become an important tool for showcasing sound designers, editors, and mixers as principal artistic collaborators in film storytelling.”
Bobbi Banks, President, Motion Picture Sound Editors
“Michael Coleman and his Soundworks Collection website provides a platform that is truly an asset to the Sound Post community. It enhances the ability for everyone to engage in our sonic world by highlighting the extremely talented editors that are the creators.”
Chris Jenkins, Senior Vice-President, Universal Studios Sound & Re-recording mixer, “Watchmen”
“The SoundWorks videos highlight the intense collaborative process of post production sound and creative decisions made by very talented individuals to shape the audience’s experience of the film.”
Erik Aadahl, Supervising Sound Editor, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”
“There are so many misperceptions about sound for film. SoundWorks Collection helps de-mystify the art, and show how pros in the trenches are really doing it. An incredible resource. I’m shocked there was nothing like it until now.”
David E.Fluhr, CAS, Sound Re-Recording Mixer, “The Princess and the Frog”
“The Soundworks Collection video series are wonderfully produced, high quality profiles of sound editorial and mixing work “behind the camera”. It’s a collaborative rescource which provides a view of the people and techniques they use that is not usually presented. The collection provides information to others OUTSIDE the sound community as well, which broadens the audience, and the appeal.”
Mark Stoeckinger, Supervising Sound Editor, “Star Trek”
“The SoundWorks Collection presents a unique opportunity to meet the people behind the sounds. It provides a wealth of insights into the craft of motion picture sound that can’t be found anywhere else.”
Ethan Van der Ryn, Supervising Sound Editor, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”
“The SoundWorks collection is a great reminder for all of us in the sound community of just how lucky we are: to be doing work that we are passionate about, having a ball doing it and getting paid for it. If I didn’t know better I’d think that we must be breaking the law.”
Cameron Frankley, Supervising Sound Editor & Sound Designer, “Terminator Salvation”
“The SoundWorks Collection allows the sound community to get great insight into the creative and technical choices made by other film makers. In each SoundWorks profile, you can find the spark that inspired every artist.”
Gary P. Russell, Sound Re-Recording Mixer, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”
I’ve been mixing films for over 25 years and I’m constantly asked by friends and family as well as people in the industry what it is we do in Sound. When I saw The Soundworks Collection’s first profile I went WOW finally someone shedding some light on our wonderful world of Motion Picture Sound.
Mixers and Editors sharing their passion of an art form that has been so amazing to us all. What a gift to be able to work in this field to begin with and now here’s a platform to share it with all who are interested. I thinks it’s FANTASTIC!
Spencer Nilsen, President & Creative Director, Ex’pression College for Digital Arts
