Gary Rydstrom’s Strange Magic

Normally we wouldn’t make any fuss about a particular film’s release, but this is one’s a little special for our community. Gary Rydstrom has had several opportunities to sit down in the director’s chair for short films in the past, but this film, Strange Magic, is his first feature. We often talk about promoting the importance of sound as a story-telling tool, but here we have one of the most vocal and respected proponents of that idea with his hands on the reins. If you find yourself with the opportunity to see the film, I encourage you to show support and check it out. It opens in the U.S. next Friday, the 23rd.

    Considering his audio background, it’s disappointing to hear the voiceover stuff sounding so ‘vocal booth’. Did nobody else see/hear how good Rango’s voice acting and audio was from recording actors moving about on a stage with boom mics?
