What a tremendous site! My knowledge of film sound has increased ten-fold thanks to the comprehensive collection of articles found herein. I am a music/film-post student with a primary interest in film sound and related applications.

The articles from Mr. Thom and Mr. Murch are very insightful and fully illustrate the practical and creative concerns faced by professionals working in the film-sound community. Furthermore, their words are an inspiration to the aspiring professional such as my self.

My professors agree too, this is a wonderful resource for sound as it relates to the visual realm.

ALL ABOUT FILM SOUND DESIGN

Site: http://www.filmsound.org

I never knew there was so much to say about making a movie, until I came across this movie site. It looked quite dull to begin with, but turned out to be a must for every serious movie lover. In this case, the subject is sound.

More than 50 articles and over 100 webpages are linked on this very informative site. The contents of these articles are interesting to all people who want to more closely examine the great movies of the past and those of today. An extensive film sound terminology makes the otherwise quite difficult articles a pleasure for everybody to read.

Check for the superb articles on Star Wars, The Haunting, and The Hunt For The Red October. There is so much information on this site, you'll want to bookmark it and visit often!
