Mix Sound for Film and Television On September 17
Final Sound for Film Panelists Announced!
Immersive Sound takes center stage as part of the expert panel series at the third annual Mix Presents Sound for Film, to be held September 17 at Sony Pictures Studios, Culver City, Calif.
Building an Immersive Room: Small, Medium and Large
(Sponsored by Westlake Pro)
You don't need a Hollywood-sized re-recording stage to create a compelling immersive soundtrack. Small and mid-sized stages are being built throughout the country to feed the demand for film, television and gaming/VR content with three-dimensional sound. But you do need to know the basic requirements of system design and setup—from console/DAW integration to monitor placement—to ensure that the tracks translate to the outside world. In this discussion, chief engineers, studio designers, system integrators and leading immersive manufacturers detail how to build a small, medium and large immersive production space to fit any need.
Moderator: Jonathan Deans, CTO, Westlake Pro
Panelists: Bill Johnston, VP of Engineering, Formosa Group; Nathan Oishi, Director of Engineering, Sony Pictures Studios; Jerry Steckling, CTO, JSX; Mark Binder, re-recording mixer; Tom Brewer, re-recording mixer.

But it can happen, as it did this year with the reopening of the fabled Fantasy Film Center, at the corner of 10th and Parker in Berkeley, Calif.
