Gary Rydstrom’s Talk from VIEW

November 14, 2013 by Shaun Farley

Last year, Skywalker Sound’s Gary Rydstrom, joined for the first time the roster at View Conference – Italy’s leading computer graphics symposium – following Randy Thom in 2011. His feature presentation was called UNEXPECTED SOUNDS. The 19th October 2012, inside the Cavour Hall, at the conference center “Torino Incontra”, professionals and sound lovers coming from different countries, gathered to be part of this unique moment.

Now, we have the opportunity to present here at Designing Sound, the polished session of Gary at VIEW. The recording I made directly from the console to my Zoom H4 has been possible thanks to Maria Elena Gutierrez, director of the Festival. In this one-hour podcast, Gary talks about the art of sound design and illustrates how sound is being used and how it can be better used to tell stories. You’ll listen to many examples of raw sound effects recordings, designed sounds, and mixes from Pixar films, and live-action films such as “T2,” “Jurassic Park” and “War Horse”.

Enjoy… and thanks Gary for your invaluable experience!

      The post is fine in both IE and Firefox on a PC. Let me guess…you’re on a Mac. [There’s been some issues with certain browsers on Mac. We’re looking into it.]

      I have the same problem with images disappearing in Safari and Chrome (OSX), and only with this site. Turned off adblock and little snitch, reset browser, empty cache, no virus software running, disabled extensions. What’s the deal? If I open the disappearing images in a new tab they appear.
