Show Notes
Oscar-winning sound designer Mark Mangini uses highly specialised microphones to capture the sounds we know and love in some of Hollywood’s most successful films. In an episode focusing on reuse and recycling, Mark tells Dr Anna about the unlikely, everyday sources behind some very famous film sounds. They’re joined by Didier Arseguel, Vice President of Technology at Rio Tinto Iron & Titanium, to discover why keeping an open mind is crucial in driving innovation. Listen to find out how to record realistic rain sounds without getting (too) wet, how screaming elephants played a part in the story of Star Wars and why you can never have too many microphones.
