Hello and welcome to episode 6 of The Closing Credits Podcast.
Today, I interviewed 7 time Oscar winner, Gary Rydstrom. He is a
director, sound designer, and re-recording mixer working at
Skywalker Sound. You may recognize his work in Saving Private Ryan,
Minority Report, Jurassic Park, Punch Drunk Love and Pixar films
such as Toy Story and A Bug’s Life-the list really goes on and on.
In this episode, we spoke about the recent Academy Award sound
category change, working with directors, how to create rhythm
within chaotic scenes, and how to tackle a scene from script to
screen.
