Filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola Talks about the Evolution of Movie Sound
Loading...
Uploaded by ThinkingSound on Nov 22, 2011
As early as the Apocalypse Now movie in 1979 when Francis Ford Coppola and sound designer Walter Murch pioneered a quadraphonic sound system for the film tour, Coppola has made sound and audio technology an important part of filmmaking, including building a dedicated mixing facility, American Zoetrope. In 2010, under the direction of Coppola, Zoetrope was turned into one of the first post-production facilities to install a Meyer Sound EXP cinema loudspeaker system on its rerecording stage and has since upgraded the other rooms to EXP. Tetro and Twixt are two of his movies that were mixed on an EXP system.
In this video, Coppola chats about the evolving role of sound in his storytelling and his sound facility in Napa.

Ironic isn't it, how music gets shafted in terms of quality.
Films get the stellar 24bit/48kHz lossless treatment, and what does music on CD have? The loudness war.
"Brickwalled", compressed, distorted, flat, abominable noise. With the exception of some soundtracks and maybe some certain other releases.
It's the opposite world really. Movies come from crappy analogue mono, into this lossless surround world.
And beautifully mastered music-recordings on Vinyl and also CD get shot to hell...

My favourite sound bit from Apocalypse Now is the metal clanking when the PT boat is attacked and Clean is killed.
