Comments on: “Sound Designer” Brice Carrington Gets 4 Years for Fraud http://designingsound.org/2010/01/sound-designer-brice-carrington-gets-4-years-for-fraud/ The Art and Technique of Sound Design Mon, 13 Feb 2012 09:21:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Jon Johnson http://designingsound.org/2010/01/sound-designer-brice-carrington-gets-4-years-for-fraud/#comment-3038 Jon Johnson Tue, 09 Feb 2010 18:46:34 +0000 http://designingsound.noisepages.com/?p=2260#comment-3038 Jeez, I always get left out! I suck at finding people with money they want to throw down the rat hole of post audio! The funny thing is that even having film credits doesn't necessarily put you in the Sound Designer category, which my definition of is creating what has never been heard in sound. The blurry part is when designing and editing meet and this new sound is placed against picture for the best possible dramatic effect. I do both and that's who and how I work. This guy is a fascinating radar blip and a nice reminder about how well the sound community self polices credit piracy. You steal credits and achievements, we will find you.

I think it's obvious that his apology does nothing to mitigate the real-world consequences of his actions. Hence the joke. Would you invest in a sound-designer? My personal belief is that people shouldn't invest in fields that they have little understanding of. Hopefully, they will see some of their energy(money) again. "I find it remarkable that anyone would feel comfortable in claiming credit for something they had no involvement with, and the idea of being connected to criminal fraud in such a manner of association is not a trivial insult in my opinion." "Sometimes, one confesses a sin in order to take credit for it" -John von Neumann. People make fake diplomas and impersonate war veterans on a regular basis. Prestige, I suppose. Perhaps the definition of "sound-designer" needs firming up. It's a bit nebulous at the moment. Nice work on FF. My apologies Charles-I was of course just being facetious.

As the Sound Designer for Fantastic Four and one of the Sound Designers for Spiderman, I find it remarkable that anyone would feel comfortable in claiming credit for something they had no involvement with, and the idea of being connected to criminal fraud in such a manner of association is not a trivial insult in my opinion.
