The Sound of The Muppets Show

On vacation in Los Angeles, Walter, the world’s biggest Muppet fan, and his friends Gary (Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) from Smalltown, USA, discover the nefarious plan of oilman Tex Richman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theater and drill for the oil recently discovered beneath the Muppets’ former stomping grounds.

To stage The Greatest Muppet Telethon Ever and raise the $10 million needed to save the theater, Walter, Mary and Gary help Kermit reunite the Muppets, who have all gone their separate ways: Fozzie now performs with a Reno casino house band called the Moopets, Miss Piggy is a plus-size fashion editor at Vogue Paris, Animal is in a Santa Barbara clinic for anger management, and Gonzo is a high-powered plumbing magnate.

In this SoundWorks Collection exclusive we talk with Director James Bobin, Film Editor James Thomas, Supervising Sound Editors Kami Asgar and Sean McCormack, and Sound Re-recording Mixer Kevin O’Connell.

____________________________________________________

I like the videos from SoundWorks Collection. But I need to see more scenes from backstage with sound mixers, boom operators, foley artists and many more peoples. How to create a "sound profile" for movies etc. That's interesting but not to copy paste techniques. But because we love sound and films.

I started this topic to put videos from SoundWorks Collection. No for advertising exactly but for sharing beautifull videos from this site.

Best regards

The Sound and Music of Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection video we talk with Director Brad Bird, Composer Michael Giacchino, Supervising ADR Editor Gwen Whittle Yates and Supervising Sound Editor Richard Hymns.

Tom Cruise returns in the starring role as Ethan Hunt and is joined by an international cast that includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Paula Patton, Michael Nyqvist, Vladimir Mashkov, Josh Holloway, Anil Kapoor and Léa Seydoux.

Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates “Ghost Protocol.” Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency’s name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

The Sound and Music of War Horse

From director Steven Spielberg comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him.

When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land.

In the exclusive SoundWorks Collection video we talk with Sound Designer and Re-recording Mixer Gary Rydstrom and Composer John Williams.

The Sound & Music of John Carter

From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton comes “John Carter”–a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). “John Carter” is based on a classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose highly imaginative adventures served as inspiration for many filmmakers, both past and present. The film tells the story of war-weary, former military captain John Carter (Taylor Kitsch), who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly embroiled in a conflict of epic proportions amongst the inhabitants of the planet, including Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe) and the captivating Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins). In a world on the brink of collapse, Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands.

Supervising Sound Editor Jonathan Null and Composer Michael Giacchino share with the SoundWorks Collection their extensive work bringing to life the planet of Barsoom.

Coll Anderson on Documentary Sound Design

We're all familiar with creative sound design for narrative films—from the buzz of a lightsaber to the roar of a T. rex. But what about the sound in documentary films? Is there a role for abstract sound to play when your film depicts real events?

In this new piece for the Dolby® Institute, leading documentary sound designer Coll Anderson discusses his approach to telling true stories with sound and his use of Dolby Audio™ to immerse the audience in the story. He walks us through a short clip from the much buzzed-about HBO® documentary The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst, describing how the layers of sound contribute to our understanding of a story that may be literally true or may be in the main character's head.

He also talks about his work with Academy Award® winning filmmaker Errol Morris and about the evolution of sound design for nonfiction films.

 

SoundWorks Collection - Artists in Resonance with Laura Inserra and the Hang Drum

Laura Inserra is a composer, multi-instrumentalist, teacher, and artistic director. She is a classically trained musician with a strong improvisational background. She plays contemporary and world music in different projects as a percussionist, multi-instrumentalist and composer.

For many years she has been involved in the artistic direction of multidisciplinary performances in Europe and in the US. In 2007 she founded Samavesha, an international non-profit multidisciplinary performing art organization based out of Berkeley.

Audiences worldwide are not only mesmerized by this woman but also captivated by her virtuosity, profound musicality and the passion she brings on the stage.

ABOUT THE HANG:
The Hang is a musical instrument in the idiophone class created by Felix Rohner and Sabina Schärer in Bern, Switzerland.

The instrument is constructed from two half-shells of deep drawn, nitrided steel sheet glued together at the rim leaving the inside hollow and creating a distinct 'UFO shape'. The top ("Ding") side has a center 'note' hammered into it and seven or eight 'tone fields' hammered around the center. The bottom ("Gu") is a plain surface that has a rolled hole in the center with a tuned note that can be created when the rim is struck.

The name Hang comes from the Bernese German word for hand.

 

SoundWorks Collection - Artist in Resonance with Mark Deutsch and the Bazantar

Mark Deutsch can best be described as a 21st century Renaissance man. A professional musician since the age of twelve, he is a visionary artist with a background in non-linear mathematics, sacred systems and cosmology. As a classically trained bassist and sitar player he gained extensive experience in orchestral and world music ensembles, jazz combos, and solo sitar performance.

While studying sitar and North Indian classical music with the legendary Ustad Imrat Khan, Mark began delving deeper into the universal fundamentals of music and their underlying frequency structures which also saw him embark on his quest to develop an instrument that could reproduce his findings. This work culminated in 1999 with Mark being awarded the US patent for his ground breaking new instrument the Bazantar - a five-string acoustic bass fitted with an additional twenty- nine sympathetic strings and four drone strings.

ABOUT THE BAZANTAR:
The Bazantar is a five-string acoustic bass, fitted with an additional twenty-nine sympathetic strings and four drone strings. The instrument possesses a melodic range of over five octaves, while its sympathetic range spans four octaves. This results in an interplay between melodic, sympathetic, and drone strings which weaves an unexpected landscape of resonance that is remarkably rich in texture.

(Just sharing here, for those who might have been  previously unaware?

FYI - This 'SoundWorks' piece has just recently allowed embedding.)

 

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection sound profile we feature Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designer Martín Hernández and Re-recording Mixer and Supervising Sound Designer Randy Thom about their recent collaboration on Director Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film The Revenant.

Inspired by true events, THE REVENANT captures one man's epic adventure of survival and the extraordinary power of the human spirit. In an expedition of the uncharted American wilderness, legendary explorer Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) is brutally attacked by a bear and left for dead by members of his own hunting team. In a quest to survive, Glass endures unimaginable grief as well as the betrayal of his confidant John Fitzgerald (Tom Hardy). Guided by sheer will and the love of his family, Glass must navigate a vicious winter in a relentless pursuit to live and find redemption.

(Though some might consider this to be slightly 'OT,' for Vas' "Soundworks-Collection" thread?  -

With some reservation, I will include the following ...)

 

Uploaded by Eliot Rausch

 

A World Unseen is a documentary that uncovers the vision behind The Revenant and the parallel realities found in our world today. Alejandro G. Inarritu, visionary and director, opens up for the first time, about this 5 year journey and his personal revelations.
