Crowds are so hard to make sound authentic & alive in sports films. So much work goes into designing large crowds that roar with emotion. In The Iron Claw, the wrestling scenes have crowds that sound fantastic and we have the audio team here to tell us how they created them. From capturing the extras on set and recording loop group, through sound design and final mixing we go into each step to creating great sounding crowds. Production sound mixer Paul Ledford, Dialog/ADR supervisor Martin Gwynn Jones, Sound Designer Brennan Mercer, Re-Recording Mixer and Sound Supervisor Matt Chan and Re-Recording Mixer Graham Rogers tell us about making crowds and lots more.
