I thought I had the coolest sound design trick on the block with a few of those hematite magnetic balls to record. Such interesting sounds.

Then I watch the SoundWorks vid on Transformers 2 only to find that you have already taken this idea to the next level with the Reedman robot. Great work. How many of those magnets did you work with? And any tips on recording them? I’ve been trying some contact mics.

How about the processing afterward? The sounds seemed to cascade together as the robot formed. Mindblowing secret techniques are welcome :)

First of all, Thanks for the interview, really opened my eyes.

Now, I’m new on this.
I want to know what’s the best order to work on sounds on a motion picture?

First Voice then Ambience/Room tones or should i start with the first layer sounds?

Any book you recommend for beginners?

Thanks

I’m still wondering what was this special trick with the rack of plugins controlled by a Theremin you discovered on the last Transformer… Hope you’ll let people know what was the secret one day ;-)

In following this site and the works of the sound designers featured. One thing has come to my attention. The lack of women, I have only ever seen Anne Scibelli mentioned. As a professional in the industry for many years, (with some great titles under your belt!!!) what is your take on the lack of women working within the field?
