John Kassab - Sound Design - Lost thing

a really heartbreaking moment for me happened during the mix when a lot of the sound fx we created for the utopian sequence was replaced with the music and I guess for me I guess it was the first time I ever experienced anything where you spend so much time developing something to then see it end up on the cutting room floor. But it wan't until I heard a quote, actually that night, about a director who said that you need to be prepared to sacrifice your best shots to make your best film, and I thought about the amount of work that goes into creating a shot or even a scene and then to just cut it for the benefit of the film, really allowed me to move forwards as a sound designer where now I see the film and I understand that it was an emotional moment and the sounds were all too mechanical and as flavorsome as they were, and as hard work as they were to develop, we needed them there as options but they weren't the finished film, and what works now is quite beautiful and I think has moved a lot of people including myself

Opening Night

Nathan Flynn & Joshua Flynn are working on a stopmotion film for their 3rd year at University of Glamorgan in Cardiff and it is lookin sweetly professional! Definitely worth wandering through their production blogs to see how they are doing it, things like replacement faces, armature making, mold making, it's a virtual walk through of how to do it yourself! Or check their joint site Sculpt Double.

this is the duo behind Stumped, so looks to be a good short (hope it has more of a resolution to the story though)
