This past Sunday, 19 Steps (a film I was heavily involved in) wrapped post production and is entering the festival circuit. I had the pleasure of working alongside one of my closest friends and colleagues, Director Tom Quigley on set (as a Production Sound Mixer) and in Post Production (as a Sound Designer and Composer).
This movie had a few firsts for me. First it was the first movie that Ben Wong (Re-Recording Mixer) and I mixed in Dolby 5.1 Surround Sound. We mastered the film at Dig It Audio in Manhattan through Snowzilla.
Second it was first movie that I ever composed for. Granted there are only 2 actual cues in the movie (the movie didn't require a full blown score, nor do I really consider myself a legit "composer" although never say never!) it was an amazing experience to get the opportunity to add to the sonic landscape of the film in more ways then just sound effects. Here's hoping for more opportunities like it in the future!
Till then Congratulations to the entire Cast and Crew of 19 Steps! I can't for you to see and hear what we have created, till then we'll see you at the festivals!
