The Sound of Top Gun: Maverick
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.
