Here’s a new audio interview from Soundworks Collection and Dolby Institute.
“What role can impressionistic sound design have in documentary films? In this episode sound designer/mixer Coll Anderson explains it’s all about “telling human stories.” He walks us through a number of scenes, including a critical scene from his most recent work, Andrew Jarecki’s THE JINX for HBO. He explains how Errol Morris liberated sound design in non-fiction film, why Foley is sometimes necessary to get to the heart of a story, and how a train whistle in the distance can lead us to an understanding of loneliness.”
