Sound channels dialog
and music to capture
P.T. Barnum tale.
THE
GREATEST
SHOWMAN
Musicals can be a difficult task for production
sound mixers. There's spoken dialog, dialog
that transitions into live song or playback
and vice versa. There's straight playback
recordings, thumpers, earwigs, speakers,
Pro Tools rigs, music editors on set and
other contingencies you need to answer.
The Greatest Showman from Australian
Director Michael Gracey is as ambitious as
they come and Production Sound Mixer Tod
Maitland was up for challenge.
