In our first of 3 episodes focused on Sound Design for Documentaries, we talk to the sound team & director of the NatGeo Doc - Fire Of Love. Sound Designer Patrice Leblanc and Re-Recording Mixer Gavin Fernandes talk about working with the film's Director, Sara Dosa, to create the sounds of the many volcanos in the film. Most of the film is built from archive footage that was originally shot without sound. Leaving the audio team a heavy workload to help bring the images to life.

We talk with the audio team behind the smash hit film Top Gun Maverick about making the film sound bombastic and loud while also letting smaller sounds, like the pilots breathing, play prominently to build tension. Sound supervisors Al Nelson, James Mather and Bjorn Schroeder are joined by re-recording mixers Chris Burdon and Mark Taylor explain the whole audio post process from field recording jets on an aircraft carrier to the final mix.

Andreas Franck and Bent Holm join us to talk about their work as Supervising Sound Editors and Re-Recording Mixers on director Ruben Östlund's amazing new film - Triangle of Sadness. They tell us about how they used sound to juxtapose expected emotions and add lots of humour. A major scene in the film involves a yacht caught in a massive destructive storm, but we never see an exterior shot, leaving the sound to carry the heavy load of conveying the power of the weather outside. This is a fun talk. Show Notes: https://tonebenderspodcast.com/200---triangle-of-sadness Podcast Homepage: https://tonebenderspodcast.com

We talk with Thomas Rex Beverly about his amazing field recording trip to Greenland to capture the sounds of remote glaciers.

We talk with the sound team from our favourite show of the year – The Bear. They tell us about how they built the chaos of the restaurant kitchen in the series, editing dialog where everyone is yelling at the same time in a small space, and the many, many grocery store trips the foley team had to go on to create all the food sounds in the show. Steve Giammaria (re-recording mixer/supervising sound editor), Annie Taylor (Supervising Foley Editor) and Evan Benjamin (Dialog Editor) break it all down for us.
