    254 - Songs Of Earth With Tormod Ringnes

    254 - Songs Of Earth With Tormod Ringnes

    We talk with Norway's own Tormod Ringnes, about his excellent sound work on director Margreth Olin's new documentary, Songs Of Earth. As the film's title implies, the sound of the film is extremely important. We follow the director's 83 year old father as he hikes the rugged and beautiful nature of Norway in every season of the year. From intense ice sound design to desolate mountain silence.

    253 - Oscar Pool Sound Category Round Up

    253 - Oscar Pool Sound Category Round Up

    Tonebenders ran episodes with members of the sound teams of all five nominees in the "Best Achievement In Sound" category at this year's Oscars. So here are some of our favourite clips from each interview. Plus a few un-aired minutes from the Oppenheimer interview that we saved for this episode. Starting with James Mather talking about the epic Fiat car chase scene in Mission Impossible:Dead Reckoning Pt 1. Then Richard King talks about the immense research the team did to get the sounds correct on Oppenheimer. Next is Tom Ozanich explaining his approach to making the huge climatic orchestra scene work emotionally. After that is Erik Aadahl discussing how explosions can't just go "boom" they have to reflect the plot when they happen in the story. Finally we have Johnnie Burn explaining how the two films he worked on last year, Zone Of Interest & Poor Things, intersected with each other.

    251 - Dane Davis Part 2

    Dane Davis will be getting the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Motion Picture Sound Editor’s Golden Reel Awards.  So I asked him walk down memory lane and talk about many of the amazing films he has worked on over the years.  In part 1, episode 250, you can hear him talk about his long and successful collaboration with The Wachowskis.  In part 2, we get into his work and relationships with other film makers, including Walter Murch on Romeo is Bleeding! Dane also digs into his latest project "Expats" on Prime.  This pyscholicaly complex drama, starring Nichole Kidman, features excellent opportunities for the sound design to tell stories that the camera is not showing on screen.
