After over 300 episodes talking to sound editors and re-recording mixers, let’s get to know what the people we work in parallel with are going through in their gigs. Tim talks to two successful music supervisors, Jody Colero and Michael Perlmutter, about the trials and road blocks that they encounter overseeing the music in high end series & films. They discuss how important a good music editor is, important ways they can save post production time and money and why it is important to get picture editors clearable music early on. Plus the perils of people thinking they can get an expensive song easily, because their brother’s, best friend’s, wife used to date the bass player from the band. Spoiler alert: it rarely actually works out.
