164 - Creative Sound Design at Aspen Shortsfest 2023

What goes into building a soundtrack for a short film? And collaborating with a sound team when you’re dealing with a short time frame? And an even more limited budget?To help us answer those questions and more, Glenn moderates a panel discussion with some of the filmmakers from this year’s Aspen Shortsfest — which is, without question, one of the best film festivals in the world for short films and short filmmakers:- Madli Lääne, Director of “Dear Passengers”- Nikita Diakur, Director of “Backflip”- Luis Fernando Puente, Director of “I Have No Tears, and I Must Cry”This is a great discussion about the creative process of storytelling. And how that process translates into crafting a compelling soundtrack for a film… regardless of runtime!Sound teams for the short films:“Dear Passengers”Sound Designer - Markus AndreasComposer - Patrick McGinleyFoley Artist - Anna-Maria JamsFoley Recordist - Joonas TaimlaAdditional Sound Effects - Aleksandra Koel“Backflip”Sound Designer - David Kamphttps://www.nytimes.com/video/opinion/100000008901281/backflip.html“I Have No Tears, and I Must Cry”Sound Designer - Erik NaumannComposer - Jorge MurciaTeaser: https://vimeo.com/718108679Many thanks to the faculty and students of Colorado Film School, who filmed and recorded this panel discussion for us: Sound Recordist - Diana FloodCamera Operators - Tim Bulger, Wil Francis, Felicia Hettinga, Lucas LacyEditor - Quinton KaineProduction Assistants - Skylar McKelvey, Geneva SchaferInstructor, Post Supervisor - Matt BaxterInstructor, Production Supervisor - Aaron KoehlerAnd extra special thanks to Aspen Shortsfest:Susan Wrubel - Executive + Artistic DirectorJason Anderson - Shortsfest Program DirectorErin McVoy - Operations + Production DirectorRegna Frank-Jones - Head of Education Allie Wrubel - Program + Marketing ManagerRoger Ramos - Program + Education Coordinatorhttps://aspenfilm.org/our-festivals/shortsfest/Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.
