The FourthA FILM BY JOE BURDEN
The Concept
Can inventive sound design be used in place of verbal or visual exposition to
create an easily disseminated backstory in a science fiction film?
PractitionersCraig BerkeySound Designer/Editor for X2 (2003), No Country For Old Men (2007), Hanna (2011)
“Sound design for me (…) is the overall thought/concept and
execution of the entire sound-track. Philosophically my role as a sound
designer is to help filmmakers achieve and exceed their aural
aspirations for their films.”
Ben BurttSound Designer/Editor for Star Wars (1977-2015), E.T. (1982), WALL-E (2008)
“A large part of the sound design job is making the right choice of a
sound, and not really your technical knowledge. I like accidents and
spontaneity, and I pick takes out of my performances that often lead to new ideas that I wouldn’t have been
able to objectively reason out ahead of time.“
