ABSTRACT
One project was captured by a sound-editorial company only because it promised to contract the services of a particular sound designer, yet during the critical period of developing the concept sound effects for the crucial sequences, the contracted sound designer was on a beach in Tahiti. The sound designer returned from vacation, the crucial temp dub had just been mixed, with the critical sound design already completed. Regardless of what sound editor may think, the contracted sound designer is one of the best in the business. When sound editor ask a film enthusiast about sound design, the tendency is to recall legendary pictures with memorable sound, such as Apocalypse and the Star Wars series. Sound design often calls to mind the big, high-profile audio events that serve as landmarks in a film. For every stand-out moment, however, dozens of other equally important moments designate sound design as part of the figurative chorus line.
