Two years ago Bay Area Director Michael Coleman started producing exclusive sound for film video profiles for the MIX Magazine online audience. These exclusive and intimate videos focus on individuals and sound teams behind-the-scenes who bring to life some of the worlds most exciting film sound mixes.
With the success of this series, Coleman has launched a new online web destination SoundWorks Collection with an Oscar sound recognition focus. Every two weeks until Oscar night in March 2010, the Soundworks Collection website will release a new sound for film profile. You can follow the online series and watch such film profiles as “2012”, “Where The Wild Things Are”, “Terminator Salvation”, “The Princess and the Frog”, “Invictus”, “Inglorious Basterds”, “Watchmen”, and “Star Trek”.
Coleman adds:
“With the help of the Soundworks Collection, I truly believe that the talents of the sound team, who prefer to fly under the radar, will have a chance to tell their story to a worldwide online audience. My goal for the video series is simple – to profile the greatest sound minds from around the world and highlight their contributions.
