In Reply to: The best DVD soundtrack? posted by rico on July 9, 2005 at 06:29:44:
Not just the show-offy cannons and battles but the subtle, immersive, ambient sounds throughout the movie - it really helps create another world. I've always read that Weir is into the sound and music of his films, but the guys that got their Oscars for M&C's sound editing richly deserved their awards. It's pretty special. Oneof my best theatrical experiences.That opening battle sequence is certainly an attention getter.
M&C gets my vote for best DVD sound design because it's one of the few movies with a demo quality soundtrack that's also an excellent film.
BTW, those whooshes and whistles in M&C were the recorded sounds of real cannon shots, fired in...Michigan.
Follow Ups:
Prior to the release of the film the Sunday New York Times had an article on its sound design so I knew at the time it was going to be something special.
NPR interviewed the sound designers about the same time the NYT article came out.They played clips of the various sound elements as recorded in the field (literally, in the case of the cannon shots) and then clips of the finished soundtrack with the different sounds edited together. The team used very few "stock" recordings.
As a long-time POB fan, I was very happy with the film.
