Check out this clip from the ABC showing Phil and Dave doing their stuff for Mick Gordan!

Wild Blue has worked with Mick on some of his game soundtracks. This clip shows the lads working with him in our Brisbane studio on ‘Edge of Twilight’. Sound effects, Foley and recording music with a great string section – always fun.

Sleeper is the latest feature film to get the Wild Blue treatment, and is being wrapped this week.

Scott "Raven" Levy

 

Sleeper is a Seven8 Media production, written and directed by Dru Brown. The film has a talented ensemble cast staring Bruce Hopkins, Ty Hungerford, and Kym Jackson, and featuring the American wrestler “Raven” (Scott Levy). Raven plays the role of Resnik, a ‘deranged enigma as equally uncompromising and unstoppable as Raven himself’.

Wild Blue have come on to complete the audio post for the feature (mainly dialog editing, building atmospheres, and sound effects – with a little Foley before mixing!) . Adding to a pretty cool score by Brisbane composer Phil Slade, our team (led by Dave Gaylard) have added some real ‘punch’ to the sound design to bring the film up to speed. Fun project!

Phil swinging boom for Barney’s Barrier Reef a while back! 20 part TV series for the BBC. Big job with a very tight audio post schedule! Lucky Phil though – great crew and the best locations … and the TV series is still showing here on the ABC.

Wild Blue have just returned from a three day final mix of the feature film ‘Crawl’ at Deluxe’s StageOne Sound studio in Sydney, home to the sound of Baz Luhrman’s ‘Australia’ and the award winning ‘Happy Feet’.

Stageone's main console!

Phil and Dave completed the full audio post production for Crawl in our Brisbane facility, including a complete 5.1 mix. We then created stems for all the major elements which Phil and Ashton took down to Sydney for a further mix in StageOne’s main theatre space. Phil worked closely with in-house engineer Glen, and after three days of tweaks and bouncing out, the project was wrapped.

We were really happy with how our mix stood up on the big screen, and the chance to put our sounds through StageOne’s main console was a real treat (a Neve DFC Gemini Digital Console, with 410 digital input channels, 4 Band EQ, filters & compressor, and 72 faders).

Christopher Gordon composed the score for Crawl, which was recorded at Trackdown in Sydney by engineer Christo Curtis. Christopher and Christo both attended the majority of the sessions in Sydney and it was great to meet them. Christopher’s score featured an 18-piece string section and sounded huge in the big space!
