French language film. This was not at the picture lock stage, and the director was based in Paris and I was recommended to her by the other supervising sound editor.
The sound design and mixing were integral to this film as many scenes were shot in beautiful homes or costal locations. I worked closely with the director so as I wouldn’t accidentally steer the narrative away from her vision. The dialogue editor also did the mix with me which meant that between us we could balance all the elements prior to the final dubbing stage.
I got the foley team in to manage the additional foley and tracklay. I could then focus on recording location sounds, cleaning them up ready for the mix.
The director sat in on many spotting sessions and revisions making this production process dynamic and nothing was lost with direction and vision.
