In this Roundtable we are joined by Composer/Sound Designer, Nicolas Becker and Editor Mikkel E.G Nielsen of the latest Darius Marder film Sound of Metal for a conversation moderated by Editor/Sound Designer, Marc Thomas. They discuss their process for developing the sound experience for the film and get into the approach and concepts behind how the team advanced the story, character arc and main character’s emotional journey, using both sound design and editorial. The team speaks about the complexities of their approach, the techniques they used, and the way they achieved exploring the senses and different points of character/audience perspective. They also speak about the very open, highly engaged, and extraordinarily collaborative attitude director Darius Marder helmed to create such a powerful film.
