Prepping tomorrow's class about sound in cinema in the 70s. It's going to be a fun one. So many good things and so many brilliant people happened to and upon cinema in that decade.

Watched this video guide last week and it really is super easy to understand concepts I've spent years of my career trying to pull apart. I'd say it's a must watch for anyone wanting to create a physically realistic shooting experience for their game or movie. Articulate and straight forward

Flow is the first ever film from Latvia to be nominated for the Oscars or the Golden Globes. This really means a lot to us and hopefully will give a boost not just to the film industry but Latvians in general.

l've never reread the final draft of the Flow script since finishing it. I made the animatic based on my memory of the script. I thought that if the idea is strong enough, l'll remember it and put it into the film.

I asked our sound designer Gurwal to make this moment feel like as if a sound recorder on the set would actually be swept away by the flood. As if they wouldn’t be able hold on to the microphone and get the right levels making the sound just barely usable. I wanted it to feel rough, raw and dirty.

1993 Compaq Presario. The whole multimedia PC concept was novel and I remember being over the moon with the bundled LIFE Magazine and Encarta CDs for weeks for the simple fact that they contained audio AND video.

New on the sound map! 🐸 🗺️ This composition is built entirely from the sounds of blacksmith tree frogs in Brazil, and imagines their calls as illuminating the night as if it were silent, and the frogs were painting the sky like a canvas. Full piece: audioboom.com/posts/865215...

Our sound designer Gurwal, just sent me a clip of the real capybara voice. I think that we made the right call to use a baby camel voice instead.

Hey sound designers and recordist in the US (mostly). I'm looking for some quality recs of suburban places with focus on cicadas specifically occurring in Austin, TX, during the summer months. Any lead you are certain of or if you have any yourself, please let me know! Thank you! #sfx

The deeper you delve into all of these fantastic YouTube channels, the better the stuff you discover. These channels feature uncommon, rare, and mainly commercially unavailable footage. We still have at least 40 channels to add to the list.

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

Magnificent. It's like Welles, Dreyer, Chaplin and W.Disney got together to talk about what is cinema and then collectively dreamt this. For sound designers it is a masterclass on how to convey emotion with sound. The music is vibrant and titanic yet elegant and never ubiquitous or Mickey Mousing.

“Spanish is a language of modest countries, developing countries, of the poor and migrants.” Very disappointed that the film community is celebrating Jacques Audiard. A deeply hispanophobic, transphobic, racist person.

"Cinema...it embodies the inventor’s dream, be he scholar, artist, engineer, or carpenter; it is the realization by kinochestvo of that which cannot be realized in life. Drawings in motion. Blueprints in motion. Plans for the future. The theory of relativity on the screen." Dziga Vertov, 1922.

What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. CARL SAGAN

Someday you will write the book. Most people will not read it. But someone will, and it will change something inside them. Then they will write a book, wholly their own, but slightly indebted to your ideas. And so on. The chain never ends. There are echoes of you at the end of the world.
