old school Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Congratulations to all the mixers and their crews for the nomination, I salute you all. Could not be happier for Jim Stuebe, a guy I have had the pleasure to know all my years as a sound man. Jim learned from the best, (Jim Webb, Jeff Wexler), and has now joined their ranks. Well done.

FSBELLA Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 another thought, not to dis a animation. but, there must be some other category for a sound nomination here. I mean live action production sound on location, dealing with all the extreme elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Lightstone, CAS Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Frank, It's for SOUND MIXING - which is for the totality of the final soundtrack. The two (it used to be 3) Rerecording Mixers are deftly mixing ALL the sound elements; the original dialogue, the ADR, the sound effects and music for what we finally see and hear. In the case of Ratatouille, Doc Kane is credited as the Original Dialogue Mixer - taking the place of a Production Sound Mixer. As a voting member of the Academy Sound Branch, I consider the work on the modern animated films to be as good as live action films and I don't think of their work as any different. I look at my work as one of the many elements that makes a great sounding film. I don't consider the difficulty of the Mixers job, but the quality of the entire sound in judging whether I will nominate it or not.

old school Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Richard brings up a good point. While the circumstances may be different with animation, recording voice as a performance for a film is the same as recording performance for animation. Sound sells picture. Again congrats to all the nominee's and also all who work in the crafts. CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
