The Psychology of Sound Design

Originally featured as part of the 2020 SxSW Film Festival conference line-up, we pulled together an all-star line up of audio post pros to lead us in a discussion on the psychology of sound design.  Sound editor?  Sound designer?  Re-recording mixer?  What are those jobs and why is it frequently the same person doing all three?  How do you use tools like EQ and Reverb to not just match dialogue and give a scene a "sense of space", but to make the audience feel a certain way about the scene and the characters within.  Our panel features: Ai-Ling Lee - Jojo Rabbit, First Man, La La Land, Deadpool Will Files - Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Star Wars - The Force Awakens, War for the Planet of the Apes, Stranger Things Craig Henighan - Roma, Tropic Thunder, Deadpool, Stranger Things Whether you're interested in a career in audio post, or how to sharpen your audio skills as a picture editor, our guests offer tons of great insight and information.   Learn about the amazing new Avid S1 Control Surface.
