344 – Superman

Five members of the sound team from Director James Gunn’s recent Superman film, join the show to talk about giving a new sonic identity to the Superman legacy. Supervising Sound Editors David Acord & Katy Wood are joined by re-recording mixers Chris Boyes & Tim LeBlanc as well as production sound mixer Lee Orloff, to do a deep dive into super hero sound. Challenges included capturing the dialog on set while surrounded by complicated visual effects and stunts and the sound design and editorial of creating entirely new sounds for super powers and pocket dimensions. The final mix had to find clarity within huge music, sound effects and important dialog. This film required a lot of skill and high end execution to create a soundscape that lived up to the Man of Steel himself.

(L-R) Chris Boyes, David Acord, Katy Wood, Tim LeBlanc and Lee Orloff
