The sound team behind Dr. Strange joins Michael Coleman in this episode of ‘Soundworks Collection’. Supervising Sound Editor Shannon Mills, Sound Designer Nia Hansen and Re-recording Mixer Juan Peralta from Skywalker Sound talk about designing sounds for the challenging and abstract superhero movie that has not only scenes of magic, inter-dimensional travel and atmospheric bad guys, but also car crashes, fights and alternate dimensions that had no CGI when they were first tasked to design them. They also talk about creating sounds for a film that is sure to have future installments and team-ups and how the ‘fun appeal’ of Marvel movies is what makes them timeless.
