Sound Lecture

Oops forgot to post!

Anyways about the lecture; I thought it was somewhat interesting. It could have been better if there had been more time for her to go into more detail about her work. It felt like there was so much she wanted to touch on but couldn't because of time restraints. I wish I could have heard more about what she contributed to each movie, especially the David Lynch films. She talked a bit about Dune but definitely not enough.
It was interesting to hear how she got into the business of sound. I guess most people figure out what they love to do kind of haphazardly. It's the same way with how she finds her sounds I guess. She didn't talk much about how she finds all these sounds that end up in these Hollywood blockbusters and that was a bit disappointing. Star Wars wasn't talked about at all, neither was LOTR. Overall the lecture came up short in many places. It's an interesting field and I would have liked to have heard a lot more about it but. . . . .
She mentioned the fact that sound can save a bad film and I disagree; heartily. The sounds that came out of the last Star Wars film blew my mind, such as with the creature that Obi Wan rode, but the movie itself (i.e. the writing) was utter trash. I believe that sound came improve a bad film to to say that it can save it is going a bit too far.
Other than all this it was a good lecture.
