Harry Potter, Horror Films and Mobile Games | Michael Cullen


Listen Later

After spending 4 years honing the art of sound design and becoming a rerecording mixer, Michael Cullen realized the Hollywood lifestyle was NOT for him. So he started from scratch as a game audio sound designer and quickly found his niche. Now, he's an associate audio director at one of the world's largest mobile game companies: Zynga.

In this episode, we talk about what it's like to work for Zynga on some of the top IP's in the world, including Harry Potter and Willy Wonka. We also talk about how mobile game release cadences are vastly different from other game development cycles, and what it's like being in the manager's chair.
This episode is loaded with great job finding wisdom, and techniques for managing audio and music in busy games.
