With “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” hitting theatres, it is a good time to talk to the sound team that, for some, have been working on the John Wick films for over a decade. Supervising Sound Editor Mark Stoeckinger, Re-Recording Mixers Andy Koyama & Casey Genton and Sound Designer Luke Gibleon discuss designing massive gun sfx, the challenge of each film getting bigger that the last, their relationship with the franchise’s directors and how they find ways to make room for the huge music and sound effects that give the John Wick films their signature sound.

Check out the O-Mini P48 miniature omnidirectional electret microphone. Each one is hand made by Chris Trevino, a practicing field recordist, and a really engaged member of the sound community.

They are extremely affordable. At $150 American for a stereo matched pair, they offer a lot of value.
