Gladiator II is the massive sequel to director Ridley Scott’s award winning original film, released in 2000. This time everything is raised up a few notches though. The sound team of Paul Massey (Dialog/Music Re-Recording Mixer) Danny Sheehan (Supervising Sound Editor), Matt Collinge (Supervising Sound Editor & SFX/Foley Re-Recording Mixer) and Stéphane Bucher (Production Sound Mixer) had to equal, and even exceed, that levelling up with their sound work. So much detail and effort went into making the crowd reactions in the Roman Coliseum, almost narrate the emotions of the battles. The production sound team and the audio post team had to work hand in hand to create this impressive feast for the ears.

Hiya. I just wanted to write to say thanks for remembering about the crowd ADR team on Gladiator 2. As a part of any project we are easily overlooked and frequently forgotten. Most of the time we don’t even get a credit, so it was great to hear what we add to a production complimented by Danny. I should say that he is one of the very best people to work with in any studio, he knows exactly what he wants, gets it and moves on, this saves our voices, especially on long loud shouting sessions.and is greatly appreciated.
Keep up the great work, I love the podcast.
Regards
David
I am so glad you had positive experiences with Danny. He certainly seems like a wonderful person to me. Keep up that great work on the crowd sessions. I am glad the podcast could shine a spot light o the great work you do!
