Shalom", a 35mm movie with Dolby Stereo sound design and mix from
Command Post, has entered the 2008 Oscar race for best short. An Arabic
Muslim motel owner saves the life of an Orthodox Jewish man who's been
violently beaten in a hate crime robbery by hiding The fertile mind behind this darkly comedic production is the movie's director, veteran character actor Jullian Dulce Vida. Jullian's ambition is to get to the top of the heap in the Oscar race for 2008. He has also submitted the film to Sundance. "This was a foley-intensive sound package, with everything from footsteps and punches to highly tweaked automobile skids." remarks supervising sound editor John. "We got off to a great start with outstanding production sound, but still there was a need for some ADR." Dulce Vida was pleased with the results. "I gotta say it's been great working along side you my friend. I told my agent you are a true pro." We feel the same way about Jullian. Lab work was done by Deluxe and the optical sound shot by NT Audio. Command Post Music to be Repped by Getty Images John
C Graves' film music has been heard in trailers from Inside Man to Chronicles of Riddick
to Bourne Supremacy, thanks to sales agent Spider Cues. Now Pump Audio, a division of Getty Images, has signed on to represent John in the worldwide marketplace. "This is really exciting", remarked John. "Pump Audio is a New York based firm with the world's largest client base, and they seem gratified to have me on their roster." Command Post's most recent major score was "Pull", directed by Andrew Shortell, a comic satire of racing movies that sported a country western sound. "Cast Shadows" Plumbs the Depths of Surrealism Phill Schwartz is the mastermind behind the surreal and mind-bending imagery and the dramatic, dialogue-driven story of "Cast Shadows", a High Definition drama mixed in Dolby Stereo at Command Post this past November.
"Phill was looking for some surreal sound design to go with the surreal, processed imagery," remarks sound designer John Graves. "Both music and effects are twisted, distorted, reversed, and undulating." Command Post pulled out all the stops with a full compliment of plug-ins and inboard and outboard processing, including the Eventide H3000. "At some threshold it crosses into a sculptural process -- you're adding and subtracting layers," Schwartz commented. Harris' "A Simple Promise" Goes To Final Remix MTV
