Academy Award®-winning supervising sound editor David E. Stone hosts an evening exploring the art and technology of sound in motion pictures and the important role it plays in shaping horror films. Film clips will trace the evolution of sound in horror films, from “The Phantom of the Opera” (1925) through the digital age of “The Blair Witch Project” (1999) and “Cloverfield” (2008). The event takes place this Thursday at The Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. You can find more info below, but if you'd like to attend for FREE all you have to do is RSVP to councilrsvp@oscars.org (include your name and "Bloody Disgusting"). Tickets will be available that evening at the Box Office, which is located on the west side of the building.
Mark Mangini, three-time Oscar® nominee for sound effects editing, and Richard L. Anderson, two-time Oscar nominee for sound effects editing and Special Achievement Award winner, will take the audience behind the scenes to learn how sound effects were created for “Poltergeist” (1982), a film that elevated horror sound from B-movie status to full-scale modern multi-channel presentation.
Vanessa Theme Ament, foley artist, teacher and author (The Foley Grail) will take the stage to present the work of master foley artist John Post, who, in his work on such films as John Carpenter’s “The Thing” (1982), and in his role as trainer/mentor to other foley artists, influenced the way sound effects are created for horror films today and helped make foley a respected and necessary part of every horror soundtrack.
In addition, Oscar-winning production sound mixer Gene Cantamessa and supervising sound editor Don Hall will explore their work behind the scenes of “Young Frankenstein” (1974). Other special guests include sound effects editor and foley artist Louis Kleinman, sound rerecording mixer Christian Minkler, and sound effects wrangler Steve Lee.
