Join Koura on Episode 17 of Filmmaking (Actually) as she learns and discusses sound in film with Mac Smith, Sound Designer and Supervising Sound Editor at Skywalker Sound, the sound effects, sound editing, sound design, sound mixing and music recording division of Lucasfilm Ltd.. Mac has been working on films since 1999, and has worked on such projects as the Disney+ series Marvel's What If...?, Cast Away, Toy Story 3, Tron: Legacy, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Little Evil, Transpecos, and one of Koura's favorite films, Columbus. What's the difference between sound design and foley? What's the best way to work with a sound team? Should sound be an important part of your film's pre-production, even during the writing stage? Where does the score come into play? Listen to this to find out, and you know, you might learn something (actually) - ta-da!
