First, a news update.  Last month, our very own Mitch Lestner was nominated for an Emmy for his sound editing on Roots!  Mitch works on several broadcast TV shows, and we are thrilled that his work is being recognized by the greater TV community.  Go Mitch!!

As for us, a couple of our own 2016 projects have recently been nominated for awards:

Hey all I’m Mitch, a sound editor here at Transported Audio. Much of my past work experience was on narrative projects before I joined this team. Working at Transported Audio has given me the opportunity to learn a lot about how to approach sound design for trailers.

Coming from the world of working in television and film, I have come to learn that sound effects editing for trailers has a slightly different approach. Trailers focus much more heavily on music as the driving factor – our sound work takes on a unique role in supporting that.

The most important thing is rhythm. 99% of the time sync takes first priority in film and television where as trailers focus on the music as the driving element. You will take notice if a rhythm doesn’t feel right more so then the sync of picture and sound. It’s in our blood.

For example; If you have a moment in a clip where a character is shooting off a multitude of bullets you must make sure that the rhythm of those gunshots compliment the tempo and rhythm of the music. If not, the music and your sound effects will clash.

Another thing to keep in mind is when including tonal sound effects that they be in the same key as the music or else you’ll end up with dissonance. That is, unless you want to create tension or clashing between the music and SFX, which can be helpful sometimes if you’re working on a horror trailer.

Crafting the sound for trailers has given me the chance to experiment and go out of the box a bit more than I usually would be able to. It’s an interesting medium, and I can’t wait for the next project!

Hey all,

It’s been quite the busy summer here at Transported Audio!  We mixed some Titanfall 2 Briefing videos that are now included in every downloadable Tech Test build of the game, we worked on 8 role trailers for the upcoming Lawbreakers game, and we also got to work on some goodies for the breathtaking underwater adventure of Abzu.

We mixed promotional videos for some high adrenaline films and shows, including Fast and Furious 7, X-Men Apocolypse, The Legend of Tarzan, Ben Hur, Orange is the New Black and Suicide Squad.

We also got to mix some NFL commercials that’ll be airing this fall on Fox, CBS, NBC and NFL Network.

But most importantly, our team is growing and we’ve got some incredibly talented sound people helping bring our projects to life.  Rather than me blabbering on and on about their credit list and how awesome they are, how about I let them jump in here and be guest bloggers?  Sound good?

Then stay tuned here to learn about the creative crew that makes our projects shine!
