    286 - Mixing Carlos Santana Live in Dolby Atmos, with Kevin Madigan

    Legendary mix engineer Kevin Madigan joins us to discuss his pioneering work helping create Santana’s live Dolby Atmos residency at House of Blues in Las Vegas and what it takes to reimagine one of rock’s most iconic sounds for a live audience. He also reflects on his work at Larrabee Studios in Los Angeles, building out the Dolby Atmos® room and mixing music from Santana’s landmark album “Supernatural.” “The music felt 3D and you were immersed in it. And we do have a lot of elements to do that with the Santana band and within the music. There’s a lot of percussion, keyboards, B3, congas… So, bringing that out into an immersive feeling [for] the audience was kind of easy to do! And if there was cool moves to do at certain points in a song… it can do a rotation around the audience. It’s a really cool moment for the audience, but it’s not distracting, it’s not gimmicky… The audience got used to it pretty quick. It just sounded like a huge, immersive mix that’s really engaging and magnetic and draws the audience into the song.” —Kevin Madigan, FOH Mix Engineer, Santana Stay connected! - Listen to Kevin Madigan's mixes of tracks from Santana's “Supernatural” album, as well as many other classic and contemporary artists in Dolby Atmos, on enabled streaming services.

    285 - The Music of Project Hail Mary, with Composer Daniel Pemberton

    Composer Daniel Pemberton returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss his inventive new original score for “Project Hail Mary.” In conversation with guest host Jon Burlingame, Pemberton breaks down how he built a custom musical language for the film using everything from wooden blocks, body percussion, treated vocals, bowls of water, and even a squeaky water tap recorded on his iPhone. He also reflects on balancing the film’s vast sci-fi scale with its intimate emotional core, and how experimentation, failure, and discovery shaped one of his most ambitious scores yet. “Developing all your own sounds… I call it mixing your own paints. You've basically spend a long time mixing paint colors rather than buying it off the shelf. And that's how you get stuff that feels very original, like this. And I've got millions of these and most of them don't work. You spend ages when you experiment. When you have time to fail, you have time to create ... Hopefully there'll be something in there that'll work.” —Daniel Pemberton, Composer, “Project Hail Mary” Be sure to check out “Project Hail Mary” now in theaters in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

    284 - Assistants - The Invisible Glue of Hollywood, with Carlos López Estrada

    Getting a project made in the entertainment industry can be a mystifying process.

As well as how it could be a pathway “in,” for those of you aspiring to build a career here yourselves.

    283 - The Cinematography of Sinners, with Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC

    Join us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Autumn Durald Arkapaw about her work on “Sinners” — and the creative choices that shaped the film’s look from the very early stages of conception. Autumn breaks down how she and director Ryan Coogler developed the visual language together, from camera and lens selection to lighting strategies designed to support performances, tone, and mood, especially in those challenging night scenes. Along the way, she reflects on collaboration, preparation, and the real on-set problem-solving that is always involved in filmmaking. “How our team collaborates: It’s the authority [director Ryan Coogler] gives each department to pour themselves into it… everyone has a say, your opinion matters. Any great filmmaker knows that it’s never about one department… When we approach stuff, we want the lighting to be a character, but we also want it to feel of the space — and so that requires us to collaborate very closely with production design… When you give people that respect and you consider them and you give them that authority, they work very hard for you and they care.” —Autumn Durald Arkapaw, ASC, Director of Photography, “Sinners” Be sure to check out “Sinners,” now streaming on HBO Max, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

    282 - The Sound of One Battle After Another

    Join us for a behind-the-scenes conversation with the Oscar-nominated sound team behind “One Battle After Another,” as they share how they shaped the film’s world through sound—from intimate character moments to large-scale action. They discuss what it takes to capture great audio on set, build powerful sequences in post, and blending dialogue, effects, and music into a mix that plays on the biggest screens — plus how their collaboration with Paul Thomas Anderson guided the sonic identity of the movie from start to finish. “Knowing Paul [Thomas Anderson] — and knowing any director — something happens on set, sound-wise and [in] production, and [if] you don’t have a reference for it… it could potentially be a problem. You have the cars — the actual cars — you have the drivers, you have the road, you have the permits. Can we just spend a little time and try and get some good recordings of these vehicles? Because they’re going to be really useful. It’s such an iconic sequence. People are like, ‘oh man, that chase at the end of the movie is amazing.’ And we worked and worked and worked on that sequence trying to find what that was supposed to be.” —Chris Scarabosio, Re-recording Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Sound Designer, “One Battle After Another” Joining today’s conversation: - José Antonio García - Production Sound Mixer - Tony Villaflor - Re-recording Mixer - Chris Scarabosio - Re-recording Mixer, Supervising Sound Editor, and Sound Designer Be sure to check out “One Battle After Another,” now streaming on HBO Max, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

    281 - The Cinematography of Marty Supreme, with Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC

    Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Darius Khondji joins us to discuss his stunning work on “Marty Supreme.” In this episode, Khondji unpacks his bold visual approach with director Josh Safdie, from shooting on film with classic anamorphic lenses and expressive close-ups to building a richly textured 1950s world through production design, lighting, and color. He also shares how collaboration across every department shaped the film’s emotional power. “Anamorphic can be very minimal… The important thing is the way it renders closeups; it makes people bigger than life, like black and white does… The real old classic anamorphic of the fifties—I wanted to go back to this feeling… Anamorphic is like a magnifier. And Marty is seen through the film like that.” —Darius Khondji, ASC, AFC, Director of Photography, “Marty Supreme” Be sure to check out “Marty Supreme,” now available for at-home purchase or rental, as well as in select theaters, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.

    280 - Cinematography of Train Dreams, with Adolpho Veloso

    Join us for our conversation with Academy Award®-nominated cinematographer Adolpho Veloso, here to discuss his stunning work on “Train Dreams.” In this episode, Veloso breaks down his natural-light approach to capturing the film’s poetic portrait of early 20th century America, from shooting digitally on the Alexa 35 to embracing a 3:2 aspect ratio inspired by old family photographs. He also shares how close collaboration with the actors, along with memory and metaphor, shaped everything from handheld camera movement to the film’s unforgettable wildfire sequence — all in service of telling an intimate story on an epic visual canvas. “It’s such a special project. I feel like everybody involved knew that in advance. And especially with Joel [Edgerton]. I can’t see anyone else playing this part, for all the possible reasons. His physicality. You believe he’s a logger. You believe he’s doing that hard work. But he is also really able to deliver everything without a lot of words, without big emotions. Everything is so subtle, so internal. It was kind of amazing to see that happening… I remember the first makeup test we did… he was like, ‘Do you mind if we change this to the other side so you shoot the other side of my face?’ He told us, ‘I just want you to see both sides, because I feel like this side makes me look more vulnerable and this side makes me feel more assured.’ He wasn't asking us to shoot any particular way, he was just so aware of himself as an actor, and also as a director himself, he was just giving us the tools so we could do whatever we wanted with those tools. But he made sure we knew that. And we obviously learned from it and we used that. So it's amazing to work with an actor that is so aware of those things.” —Adolpho Veloso, Director of Photography, “Train Dreams” Be sure to check out “Train Dreams,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Atmos®.
