Jeff Wexler Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Quite often sound is the most under-appreciated aspect of filmmaking even though photography and sound are the two most important tools in cinematic storytelling. This is a workshop for those who want to explore the technical knowledge and set procedures required of professional sound recordists and mixers in a wide range of field productions. It will be equally attentive to craft and theory. Led by Oscar-Winning Production Sound Mixer Mark Ulano, the workshop covers the preparation, necessary equipment, processes and techniques for recording and mixing sound in the field. Students learn to appreciate the protocols common to all TV and movies, the importance of inter-departmental communication and cooperation, the correct use and function of equipment, and the physical and sonic challenges of working on location.

Erin Bliss Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Does Mark run these on a regular basis? I can't attend the session this month, but would love to attend a future iteration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniebeaudry Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I attended this workshop early in my career (over 30 years ago). At that time I went to Rockport Maine where the college is located, and it was a three day visit. I wish Mark had been the instructor then.

Sorry, but IMHO the most important is writing. Both image and sound can tell a 'story', but if the story isn't written, meaning, 'defined on what it should be', it's just 'as it is', like you take a snapshot of 'anything'. That does tell a 'story', but is not 'telling'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does tell a 'story', but is not 'telling'. It says : tools for "storytelling...so the it implies the "story" is already written.

Rick Albright Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 Like Bernie, I attended a workshop in Rockport over 30 years ago, and my instructor was Nat Boxer. The stories we heard about working on "Apocalypse Now" were priceless ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
