Got to briefly sit in yesterday on a sound-mixing session for a feature film that a friend and old boss produced that will be released independently next month. They were fussing over a close-up that one of the post-team wanted to have an extra little impact sound in it underneath the musical score. “Make it a soft, whooshing, boomy sound. Super-wet.” he asked. And I’ll be damned but in less than a minute, the man at the workstation had grabbed a sound from elsewhere in the movie, copied and tweaked and chopped it, dropped it into the shot, and it was exactly all those things.
I absolutely cannot get enough of stuff like this.
