The stampeding hooves of buffalo in Dances with Wolves. The guttural rumble of the T-rex in Jurassic Park. How about the sound of the surf and wind in Cast Away? 

These films captivated audiences with their scores, their stories, and their terror. Tying all of this action and sound together for maximum impact was a team of master sound recordists. 

Louisiana now exists as one of the big four film-producing states, behind Georgia but ahead of cinematic meccas like California and New York. Yeah, the strikes have choked out the workforce the same way Adam Sandler throttled that golf caddy in Happy Gilmore, but work will return, and it’s vital that our industry’s artists are visible and accessible.  

As part of our Louisiana post-production worker series, we assembled the handful of re-recording mixers in the state and included each of the production sound recordists, as well. Thanks to Jerry Gilbert at Celtic Studios for his insights on the nuances of the individuals who create within a playground of sound.
