Creating Sound and Music for Docs
From Location to Final Mix  

Saturday, October 5, 2013 
 Daylong Seminar: 9:30am - 5:00pm
Box lunch provided

Linwood Dunn Theater 
1313 Vine Street, Hollywood, CA 90028

Sound and music are critically important ingredients in any documentary's success, but are all-too-often overlooked or neglected. This intensive workshop will discuss best practices and creative possibilities in audio from the beginning of your filmmaking process to the end: starting with location audio and sound design, through original music and licensing, and culminating in the final mix and mastering. Filmmakers and industry experts will give practical advice and share their knowledge to give you the tools for creating the best soundscape for your film.

Held in the Academy's state-of-the-art Linwood Dunn Theater, the workshop will feature four panels packed with information and testimonials from directors and producers of recent major documentary features and the creative and technical teams behind those films including: sound recordists, sound designers, composers, supervising sound editors, music licensors, and sound re-recording mixers. At lunch, attendees and panelists will sit together and continue the conversation.

This event will be moderated by Glenn Kiser of the Dolby Institute, former VP and General Manager of Skywalker Sound.
