Sound in the movie 1
How sound is created in a movie
(Stephan Busch, ten7.ton.studio)
"Everything you hear on a movie is a lie."
Sound engineers and sound producers Stephan Busch and Lothar Weise explain this to us in this two-part workshop. Besides the important dialogs, natural sounds are often boring and unoriginal and the recordings of ambient sounds and action sounds on the film set rarely live up to expectations. But luckily there are the so-called "sound effect artists" such as Jack Donovan Foley.
Star Wars producer George Lucas once said: "Sound is 50% of the whole movie". In these workshops, Stephan Busch and Lothar Weise take us into the world of real-sounding yet unreal noises and introduce us to one of the most dangerous sounds in the world.
The first part of the workshop ("THE LECTURE") consists of a Lecture with countless and astonishing examples from the world of film.
Sound in the movie 2
We make the sound for your movie
