1:30 – 2:00 The Organic-Mechanical Sound of The Wild Robot

Sound for animation can become a sound editor or mixer’s playground, an open book for the imagination, yet the human ear often wants to hear something familiar. In this special panel presentation, Re-Recording Mixer Gary A. Rizzo and Supervising Sound Editor/Re-Recording Mixer Leff Lefferts discuss how they fuse sounds from the natural and mechanical to help tell the story of an artificially intelligent robot who lands on an uninhabited island in Universal’s The Wild Robot.

Join Re-Recording mixer Andy Nelson, Supervising Sound Editor/Re-Recording Mixer Ai-Ling Lee and Supervising Sound Editor Tobi Poppe as they discuss the sound for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the latest in one of the most iconic franchises in film history. Moderated by Eric Marks, the panel will explore how the sound team developed a distinct signature sound that bridges the original 1969 film and the rebooted series.
