Sound with Rachel McLean

November 23rd, 2009 by Lyndsey. Film, November 2009

Sound in film is not something I normally think about when I watch movies, but lately I am realizing how crucial this one aspect is.

Majority of the music I grew up with came from skateboard movies.  My favourite skate parts to this day always had an amazing song to go along with it.  I could not imagine a skateboard video without music.

Just having that perfect song attached to a scene makes the film (or in my case, a skateboard part).

This led me to finding someone to talk about sound and TV.

Rachel McLean is a field audio mixer and has worked on productions such as Project Runway Canada, Instant Beauty and the new sow Big Voice.  She loves working in the reality television area, where unfolding the key stories relies heavily on ((audio)).

(I’m sure she wants to fix the sound on this!)
