n November 20, 2021, CAS and MPSE teamed together to talk
sound at THE SOUNDING BOARD v1.0, a series of virtual discussions
about the practical, creative, and technical art of sound for picture.
The Sounding Board v1.0 was the first-ever co-produced event between CAS
and MPSE. Guests who attended live were able to participate in live chat
and submit questions to the panels.
Featured panels included "BEYOND THE Q&A:
HUGO," where the award-
winning sound department from Hugo, on its 10th anniversary, looked back
and discussed the wins and pitfalls that helped shape the outstanding
soundtrack of this fantastic tale; "PARADE OF CARTS, BAGS, & RIGS,"
where CAS production sound mixers and MPSE sound effects field recordists
provided tours of their equipment and discussed techniques and tips for
capturing some of the best sound in the business; and "BETWEEN THE
EARS," which discussed what it takes both on and off the job to foster
creative decision-making, problem-solving, and interpersonal politics to best
serve the sonic through-line of any production.
