#007 (Pt. 1) Signal to noise is everything – Simon Hayes

  • Summary

  • In this episode (part 1 of 2), Neil and Jason talk to Oscar-winning Production Sound Mixer Simon Hayes about his demanding work on location film sets and deep-dive into Simon’s philosophy and approach to modern location recording techniques. We discuss the importance of a fully-digital signal chain, the understanding with directors he establishes at the beginning of each project and the very different considerations he applies to recording and mixing musicals such as Les Misérables, Cats and Wicked or action films such as James Bond’s No Time To Die, X-Men: First Class and Guardians of the Galaxy. Simon talks about the refreshing nature of shooting low-budget, single camera productions epitomised by the spirit of his early work on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. This is a compelling and unique insight into film sound for experts, novices and movie aficionados alike.
