Wicked For Good pushed the Oscar nominated sound team from last years blockbuster, Wicked, to go further into the sonic world of Oz. Continuing the idea that every sound making it into the film had to have an Ozian twist to it. Nancy Nugent Title (Supervising Sound Editor), John Marquis (Supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer/Re-Recording Mixer), Jack Coleman (Supervising Music Editor) and Simon Hayes (Production Sound Mixer) tell us about all the obstacles and challenges they met to complete this massive project. The music and sound effects departments worked really closely together in post, while production sound was constantly thinking about what would be needed by the audio post team. Wicked For Good is the culmination of a massive project where sound was an integral part of the the entire production.

This interview was recorded live, in front of a packed house, at the Glen Glenn Film Center in Hollywood California. F1: The Movie presented a multitude of complex challenges for it's sound team, as the race cars have to sound huge and immediate and the music had to be "driving" as well. Then you add in the dialog and crowds and you are dealing with a monstrous brew of editorial and mix obstacles. Joining Tim on stage from F1 are Gary Rizzo (re-recording mixer), Al Nelson (supervising sound editor), Gwen Yates Whittle (supervising sound editor) and Gareth John (production sound mixer). They discuss their experiments with recording the cars, the involvement of Lewis Hamilton, the many levels of futz on the voices during the races and lots more._______SPONSORS: As the New Year begins, Sound Ideas is offering its largest sale to date.
