Publisher's Synopsis
The art and craft of recording sound for movies comes to life in this book chronicling the career of one of the most experienced and respected sound mixers in Hollywood. Naked Under a Waterfall is a fresh and colorful look at a subject that has been largely overlooked until now. The production sound mixer is responsible for recording dialogue and sound effects and is a vital component of any film or TV crew, yet it's a craft relatively unexplored by writers on cinema. This practical book presents a balanced discussion of the evolution of the craft, aesthetics, techniques, and on-set dynamics. It will be of interest to anyone on the sound crew of a movie or TV production. In addition, it is not overly technical and therefore suitable for film students and amateur filmmakers.
