C A S Q U A R T E R L Y F A L L 2 0 1 9 37 In addition to other summer events, the Cinema Audio Society held two screenings as part of its "Summer Screening Series." The first was a family- friendly event held on Saturday, August 3, at the Universal Studios Lot. The chosen film, in honor of last year's CAS Filmmaker honoree, Steven Spielberg, was the 1982 iconic family classic, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. The film took home four Oscars in 1983, including three for sound; Best Sound, Best Original Score, and Best Sound Effects Editorial. The event began with a CAS-hosted reception with family-friendly snacks and concluded after the screening with a gift pack of Reese's Pieces, reminding members to come back to attend the next CAS event. The second screening was held at Warner Bros. Lot on Saturday, September 7, and featured a new print version of Stanley Kubrick's 1980 horror classic, The Shining. This new 4K scan of the original 35mm camera negative offered wider color spectrum and definition. It also featured a surround mix that was honored with a President's Award by past president Richard Lightstone CAS during the 40th Annual CAS Awards. The soundtrack restoration involved seven classic Stanley Kubrick films in total, including 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, Full Metal Jacket, and The Shining. The President's Award was shared by Chris Jenkins, Senior VP, Sound Services, Universal Studios; Ned Price, VP mastering, technical operations, Warner Bros.; Tom Regal, manager, audio restoration, Chace Productions; and Leon Vitali, director of Kubrick Restoration, who worked on the project. This highly anticipated event started off with a reception hosted in the Fine Dining Room and was followed by a Q&A on "The Sound of the Scream," featuring Marti D. Humphrey CAS, Joe Dzuban, and Brad Zoern CAS. I was honored to moderate the panel which discussed the art and craft of mixing horror film soundtracks and covered such topics as the importance of silence and the anatomy of the jump scare. A video recording of the panel is available here: http://cinemaaudiosociety.org/cas -summer-screening-the-shining/ Please stay tuned to your inboxes as the Cinema Audio Society works hard to continue organizing events and activities for our members.
