The work done by the Soundworks Collection to illuminate the architecture of the sound of the modern blockbuster is always something special, even when I have no interest in the film (Transformers: Arse of the Moon is a recent example) I’ll always make time to watch the short videos Michael Coleman and his team produce.
So it was with a sense of eagerness I clicked on their latest video this morning to see how Joss Whedon and his team, in this case Supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer Christopher Boyes, created the aural pleasure of the film which has made more money than any other in its opening weekend.
It’s all great stuff, and there’s a little bit of behind the scenes footage as is per usual, but the conversation really takes a turn when Boyes talks about creating the sound of The Hulk with Whedon wanting to tone down the animalistic nature to what he had already created for the character.
