Oscar winning production sound mixer Simon Hayes sits down with Tim, for an in-person, one on one talk. He describes his goal of a world where there is no distinction between the production sound team and the audio post team. Everyone is working as one big crew to get the best possible sound for each project, through collaboration and open communication. Simon spins wonderful stories, going all the way back to Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, about his innovative ways of recording performances so that is ready for a dialog editor to use with ease. He also discusses he techniques to keep everyone on set, working towards the goal of clean dialog. I could listen to Simon all day.
