RECORDING WHALES IN 3D – Take my word for it. Don't try to build a PVC pipe frame, attach 8 hydrophones to it, and then sink it down 100 ft. It is almost impossible. But I made what are (probably) the world's first 3D recordings of humpback whales. Listen here: thomasrexbeverly.com/products/haw...

"I believe if you want to go with far, mid and close perspective, you need a really big foley stage because otherwise you cannot get around the early reflections and therefore it does not make sense." Episode 15 - Bastian Gerner

For Dune, the Foley team had to make sand footsteps sounds that wouldn't attract worms. Otherwise it would have been a short move 😜
Hear it from the Foley mixer Mikel Parraga-wills in Episode 26 of Field & Foley!

Just look at that absolute wonderous scenery! Unreal! 👀
I jammed a #fieldrecording rig in this lone tree for a few hours. Volcanic cinder desert all around, above 7,000’. Birds landed, flitted, about, had a nice chat. Lovely soft gusts, that “jet engine” sound of wind through pine needles. I listen now and I’m transported back there.

Why are we still calling it "human resources"?
I've thought about this term so often and it makes me angry. Humans as resources to buy up in bulk or – as we see so often in game development – to get rid of when the shareholders demand the line goes up.

We spent a whole day tracking lions and when we found them, we decided to stick around so we could record their calls. Somehow we picked the laziest ones around, because they slept a lot, yawned and stretched but did not make one sound until nightfall. When they finally did roar, it was magnificent
