    36 - Director Phil Claydon: Why Independent Filmmaking Has Never Been More Exciting

    What does it really take to build a career as an independent filmmaker? This week I'm joined by writer and director Phil Claydon (Lesbian Vampire Killers, Alone, Within, Helloween) for a wide-ranging conversation about filmmaking, horror, storytelling and the changing landscape of independent cinema. From directing studio features to making a micro-budget horror film with little more than determination, a MacBook and a huge amount of perseverance, Phil shares an honest look at what it really takes to keep creating in one of the toughest industries in the world. We also explore why horror continues to launch exciting new filmmakers, whether the traditional distribution model still works for independent cinema, and why post-production and especially sound, is where films truly come to life. In this episode we discuss: Why there's never been a more exciting time to be an independent filmmakerThe success of films like Obsession and BackroomsBuilding a career through conversation rather than waiting for a "big break"The reality of directing Lesbian Vampire KillersMaking Helloween on a micro-budgetHow directors should think about post-productionWhy sound is one of the most powerful storytelling tools in filmmakingCreating atmosphere, tension and world-building through soundThe importance of film scores and sonic identityWhy horror remains one of the best genres for emerging filmmakersIf you're an independent filmmaker, writer, producer or anyone passionate about telling better stories, there's a huge amount to take away from this conversation.

    34 - The Sound of Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

    In this episode of SoundStart, Stephen sits down with members of the sound team behind Ready or Not 2: re-recording mixers Andrew Tay and Scott Hitchon, and supervising dialogue editor Mark Dejczak. The conversation explores how the team approached the sound of a fast, chaotic horror-comedy where there are almost no simple “talking heads” scenes. They discuss rescuing production dialogue, cutting around overlapping breaths and reactions, preserving production effects, blending Foley with real set sounds, and building ADR that feels seamless. They also dive into the film’s bigger sound moments, including the opening sequence, the ballroom fight, the industrial washing machine kill, the use of loop group, gore effects, Dolby Atmos mixing, and the pros and cons of working in large Pro Tools super sessions vs reels. A generous, technical and very practical conversation for anyone interested in dialogue editing, sound design, Foley, re-recording mixing and the realities of modern feature film sound post. Key topics covered: Dialogue editing in fast, chaotic action scenesWhy production effects matterBlending Foley with production soundADR for performance, breaths and reactionsLoop group for crowds and world-buildingCutting and mixing gore soundsDolby Atmos for movement, chaos and perspectiveMixing reel-by-reel versus super sessionsWorking with directors and picture editors on the dub stageWhy monitoring format matters when giving notes
