LA Event: Sony Pictures Post Production Services to Host “Mix Presents Sound for Film” — 9/26

LA-based audio professionals with an interest in sound-four-picture can get a 2-for-1 this weekend. Not only will they get to learn from elite men and women in the industry, but they will receive entrée to the state-of-the-art Sony Pictures Post Production complex.

Spend the day inside Sony this Saturday.

That’s because on September 26, Sony Pictures Post Production Services will welcome leading innovators from across the world of motion picture sound, as it hosts the Second Annual “Mix Presents Sound for Film Conference and Exhibition.”

Interested attendees can register here, with general admission prices topping out at a very reasonable $99. A kickoff breakfast, plus a cocktail reception and movie screening at the end make the day a great value.

Immersive sound is the star at this year’s event, which is co-sponsored by the Motion Picture Sound Editors and the Cinema Audio Society. The theme Will be “Music, Effects and Dialog in an Immersive World,” and will explore the current boom in immersive sound technologies through speakers, panels, workshops and exhibits.

Participants will include DTS, Dolby, Yamaha, Auro Technologies and other sound companies.

Here is more information on the conference, straight from the source:

Sony Pictures Post Production Services also hosted last year’s inaugural Mix Presents Sound for Film Event. That event, which included welcoming remarks from Sony Pictures Studio Operations Executive Vice President/General Manager Randy Lake and a keynote address from two-time Academy Award-winning mixer Randy Thom, drew overflow crowds of sound mixers, editors, engineers and technology developers.

This year’s event promises to be bigger and better with panel discussions on music, dialog, sound effects and immersive sound, as well as a sound master class series with sessions from the industry’s top technology companies. Three-time Academy Award-nominee Mark Mangini, MPSE, will deliver the keynote address. Events will take place throughout the Sony Pictures Post Production complex, including the renowned Cary Grant Theatre, William Holden Theatre, Kim Novak Theatre, Anthony Quinn Theatre, Burt Lancaster Theatre and the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage.

Several sound artists from Sony Pictures Post Production Services will take part in panel discussions including Music Mixer Joseph Magee and Re-Recording Mixer Kevin O’Connell on the Music Panel; Re-Recording Mixer Mandell Winter on the Sound Effects Panel; and Re-Recording Mixer Michael Minkler on the Mixing Panel.

The all-day event begins with a breakfast sponsored by GC Pro and concludes with a cocktail reception and special movie screening.
