• 258 - The Sound and Cinematography of Adolescence

  Emmy Award®-nominated Director Philip Barantini and fellow nominees — including cinematographer Matthew Lewis and the sound team of James Drake, Jules Woods, Rob Entwistle, and Kiff McManus — join us this week to discuss the making of “Adolescence,” Netflix’s hit limited series. Nominated for thirteen Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series, the show’s four episodes were each filmed as single, continuous takes, creating a gripping real-time experience for viewers — and offering some unexpected advantages for the filmmakers.“For Netflix, it was very different for them because… they're very limited in what notes you can give. You can't say, ‘I think that scene needs to move to a different location’ or whatever. It's literally got to be performance notes… And so, they were fantastic. Netflix were just amazing, really, really amazing partners.”—Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer, “Adolescence”Joining today’s conversation: - Philip Barantini, Director, Executive Producer - Matthew Lewis, Director of Photography, Camera Operator - James Drake, Supervising Sound Editor, Re-Recording Mixer - Jules Woods, AMPS, CAS, Re-Recording Mixer - Rob Entwistle, AMPS, Production Sound Mixer - Kiff McManus, AMPS, Production Sound MixerBe sure to check out “Adolescence,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 257 - The Music of The Fantastic Four: First Steps

  Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss his bold and emotional score for “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” In this in-depth conversation with guest host Jon Burlingame, Giacchino shares how he approached scoring one of Marvel’s most iconic franchises, including how he balanced moments of sweeping sincerity with all that pulpy fun.“All I could think of in my head was like, if I took ‘The Right Stuff’ and if I took the Disneyland Electric Light Parade and smashed them together… that's gonna give us our ‘Fantastic Four’ music. And so I went right to town, over a year ago, on this theme. Which is something you never, ever get to do as a composer. It's so rare that you get to write a piece of music so early on.”—Michael Giacchino, Composer, “The Fantastic Four: First Steps”Be sure to check out “Fantastic Four: First Steps,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas® in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Check out Michael Giacchino’s previous appearances on the Dolby podcast: - War for the Planet of the Apes - https://youtu.be/IMoypCm9pEc - The Sound and Music of The Batman - https://youtu.be/uZ_3Kdm_ZhE - The Making of Marvel’s Werewolf by Night - https://youtu.be/vVALDtPJyss Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 256 - The Music of Superman

  Composers John Murphy and David Fleming join guest host Jon Burlingame to discuss their original score for “Superman,” directed by James Gunn. In this two-part conversation, Murphy and Fleming share their personal connections to the character, the emotional and thematic goals of the music, and the creative process of scoring an iconic superhero story for a new generation. They also reflect on the legacy of John Williams’s original theme and how it influenced their approach.“Everyone who works in film music reveres John Williams, and that score is kind of a gem of film music. So to be asked to explore the DNA of that theme was a privilege, but definitely a humbling privilege. You are confronted with this truly iconic theme… But at the same time, there still felt like there was a lot to explore within the confines of that theme… I remember, I was having a meeting with James [Gunn] and I said, the part of the John Williams theme that always really touched me is the end… There's something about it that's hopeful. Really, really hopeful. And I started playing around with it with some different chords, and I could tell James was getting sort of moved by it. It felt like we were discovering something and finding something new that fit his Clark Kent and his Superman, as well.”—David Fleming, Composer, “Superman”Be sure to check out “Superman,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 255 - Gareth Edwards and the Sound of Jurassic World: Rebirth

  Director Gareth Edwards returns to Dolby Creator Talks to discuss “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” the latest installment in the iconic dinosaur franchise. He and his sound team share how they crafted the film’s breathtaking sonic landscape — along with the challenges of an accelerated production schedule, and why that constraint ultimately proved creatively liberating.“Normally, on a movie like this, from the day you first get contacted… to the day you go, ‘OK, we’re finished,’ it’s about two-and-a-half years. And this was a year-and-a-quarter! Jabez [Olssen], who’s our editor, he put a quote on the door of the edit suite… It was [from] Leonard Bernstein, and it said something like, ‘Art is when you have a plan but not quite enough time.’ And there was something about that idea of when there isn’t time to mess around — you can’t experiment like crazy, you gotta go with your first gut instinct — something interesting happens. And I’m half-tempted now, in all future contracts to make another film, to ask, ‘Whatever schedule you’re considering, can you just halve it?’”—Gareth Edwards, Director, “Jurassic World: Rebirth”Joining today’s conversation: - Gareth Edwards - Director - Tim Nielsen - Sound Designer and Supervising Sound Editor - Bjørn Ole Schroeder - Supervising Sound Editor - Pete Horner - Re-recording MixerBe sure to check out “Jurassic World: Rebirth,” now playing in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.

• 254 - The Sound of F1: The Movie

  When director Joe Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer set out to make “F1,” their goal was to create the most authentic Formula One film ever made. Recorded in person at Skywalker Sound, this episode features the sound team behind the film, who share how they brought that vision to life. They discuss the extraordinary lengths they went to in order to craft a visceral, true-to-life experience for racing fans and everyday viewers alike — while also highlighting the invaluable support they received from the production and the film’s director, Joe Kosinski.“I would say Joe is the grand master at giving us these opportunities [to succeed]. God bless him, because he gets it. He knows you can’t just say, ‘I want this to be an authentic Formula One movie — figure it out.’ He was like, ‘We’re going to start early. We’re going to give you whatever resources you need. And everything is going to be 100% perfect.’ And he’s not like, ‘This has to be perfect.’ It’s just, ‘We’re going to do this together. What do you need? I’m going to help you. Let’s get going.’”—Al Nelson, Supervising Sound Editor, “F1”Joining today’s conversation: - Al Nelson – Supervising sound editor/sound designer - Juan Peralta – Re-recording mixer - Gary Rizzo – Re-recording mixer - Gwendolyn Yates Whittle – Supervising sound editorBe sure to check out “F1,” now in theaters and Dolby Cinemas®, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode on YouTube.Learn more about the Dolby Creator Lab and check out Dolby.com.
