• 260 - If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, with Director Mary Bronstein

  Writer/Director Mary Bronstein and Supervising Sound Editor, Sound Designer, and Re-recording Mixer Filipe Messeder join us to discuss “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You” — the searing and darkly funny new indie film from A24 about the dark side of motherhood. Featuring a tour-de-force performance by Rose Byrne, the film made quite a splash when it premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. Despite its relatively small budget, quite a lot of work went into the sound design of the film, with a sometimes unconventional, yet wildly effective approach to sound as a storytelling tool.“By using sound design, it's not so much what a score does… it's world building. It's building the world that she lives in and some of it is in her head… When you see it in a theater, some of those cues are making your chest bones rumble. In a quite literal way, it's happening to you. And in the same way that it's happening to her… So it's taking her inner world and it's externalizing it for the viewer.”—Mary Bronstein, Writer/Director, “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You”Be sure to check out “If I Had Legs I’d Kick You,” now playing in select theaters (and nationwide this Friday) in Dolby Atmos® where available.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 258 - The Sound and Cinematography of Adolescence

  Emmy Award®-nominated Director Philip Barantini and fellow nominees — including cinematographer Matthew Lewis and the sound team of James Drake, Jules Woods, Rob Entwistle, and Kiff McManus — join us this week to discuss the making of “Adolescence,” Netflix’s hit limited series. Nominated for thirteen Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, the show’s four episodes were each filmed as single, continuous takes, creating a gripping real-time experience for viewers — and offering some unexpected advantages for the filmmakers.“For Netflix, it was very different for them because… they're very limited in what notes you can give. You can't say, ‘I think that scene needs to move to a different location’ or whatever. It's literally got to be performance notes… And so, they were fantastic. Netflix were just amazing, really, really amazing partners.”—Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer, “Adolescence”Joining today’s conversation: - Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer - Matthew Lewis, Director of Photography, Camera Operator - James Drake, Supervising Sound Editor, Re-Recording Mixer - Jules Woods, AMPS, CAS, Re-Recording Mixer - Rob Entwistle, AMPS, Production Sound Mixer - Kiff McManus, AMPS, Production Sound MixerBe sure to check out “Adolescence,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 257 - The Music of The Fantastic Four: First Steps

  Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss his bold and emotional score for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” In this in-depth conversation with guest host Jon Burlingame, Giacchino shares how he approached scoring one of Marvel’s most iconic franchises, including how he balanced moments of sweeping sincerity with all that pulpy fun.“All I could think of in my head was like, if I took ‘The Right Stuff’ and if I took the Disneyland Electric Light Parade and smashed them together… that's gonna give us our ‘Fantastic Four’ music. And so I went right to town, over a year ago, on this theme. Which is something you never, ever get to do as a composer. It's so rare that you get to write a piece of music so early on.”—Michael Giacchino, Composer, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”Be sure to check out “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas® in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Check out Michael Giacchino’s previous appearances on the Dolby podcast: - War for the Planet of the Apes - https://youtu.be/IMoypCm9pEc - The Sound and Music of The Batman - https://youtu.be/uZ_3Kdm_ZhE - The Making of Marvel’s Werewolf by Night - https://youtu.be/vVALDtPJyss Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 256 - The Music of Superman

  Composers John Murphy and David Fleming join guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss their original score for “Superman,” directed by James Gunn. In this two-part conversation, Murphy and Fleming share their personal connections to the character, the emotional and thematic goals of the music, and the creative process of scoring an iconic superhero story for a new generation. They also reflect on the legacy of John Williams’s original theme and how it influenced their approach.“Everyone who works in film music reveres John Williams, and that score is kind of a gem of film music. So to be asked to explore the DNA of that theme was a privilege, but definitely a humbling privilege. You are confronted with this truly iconic theme… But at the same time, there still felt like there was a lot to explore within the confines of that theme… I remember, I was having a meeting with James [Gunn] and I said, the part of the John Williams theme that always really touched me is the end… There's something about it that's hopeful. Really, really hopeful. And I started playing around with it with some different chords, and I could tell James was getting sort of moved by it. It felt like we were discovering something and finding something new that fit his Clark Kent and his Superman, as well.”—David Fleming, Composer, “Superman”Be sure to check out “Superman,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.
