redge Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I would like to see discussion between JW, the people who run filmsound.org and the people who run transom.org about some kind of informal relationship between the sites. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Wexler Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Interesting idea but I really do not know how such a connection would be made, other than a link (whch is really just a recommendation to visit another useful site). I have spent some time at filmsound.org and have been impressed with many of the archived articles. I particularly liked all of the material assembled about Walter Murch. I have know Walter since the early 1970's and the things that intererst him are many of the same things that interest me --- and of course I find most of his discussions very inspiring. The Swedish educator who puts up the site seems like a very dedicated person and I appreciate his efforts (but I have had no direct contact with him). The transom.org site on the other hand seems so geared towards broadcast and radio journalism, I am not so sure it has as much relevancy to our work here. The TOOLS section may have had some useful semi-technical reviews and "how-to's" but I have not read many of those articles.

redge Posted May 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 I realize that you have just started this site and that my views, as a neophyte, may be very much in the minority. I think that it would be interesting to see this site encourage discussion about post-production and sound design as well as production. As an experiment, you might consider adding post-production as a topic. I think that Walter Murch and Randy Thom run a site that is interesting, but not interractive enough, and I would like to see your site cover some of the same issues on a more real-time basis. I mentioned Transom realizing that it is about radio rather than film/video. I note that Walter Murch has written for them, and I think that he is on to something in doing so. I think that the distinction may be less significant than the similarity. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
