Audio Engineering Society San Francisco Section June 2016 Meeting
Join us for our June 22 meeting with Mark Willsher, at the new Fantasy Film Center theatre, in Berkeley.
The Program
Using examples from middle-earth and small local productions, Mark will discuss practical considerations for getting an orchestral score recorded and delivered in today's world of instant turnarounds and rarely "locked" picture - offering insight gained from his broad experiences as both a music editor and scoring mixer.
The Theatre
This will be our first visit to the newly revived Fantasy Film Center. Over 200 films, including Academy Award-winners Amadeus, The English Patient & The Right Stuff, were mixed on that stage since the 1981 opening. The room was conceived by Jeff Cooper, one of the worlds most sought-after screening room designers. Studio director Jeffrey Wood says, "This theatre was constructed like a musical instrument. The clarity and musicality of the room is extremely beautiful and non-fatiguing for precision mixing."
The new renovation was overseen by Jim Austin, along with Meyer Sound and Avid, and features an Avid S6, Meyers Acherons and HMS12s, as well as connecting the theatre to the large reverb and chamber collection in the studios. It also has ISDN connection for any additional post or listening.
