New Filmsound Article online!
This time, you can meet a very active forum member: Frank Kruse
I found this great video with Frank, talking about his work as a sound designer and sound editor. In the video, Frank und shows and explains scenes of the movies Rush and Cloud Atlas.
The video is in german, so I did a summary in english.

Frank Kruse - about the term 'sound design'
Many people do not understand the meaning of the term 'sound design': they think all you need to do is sync up the sound and underscore what happens in the picture. You can, of course, do this but it is not what defines a sound editor's or sound designer's work.
Film is always about telling stories and supporting the plot. You can, therefore, drop the occasional line of dialogue because you don't need to verbalise everything that happens on screen. Otherwise it feels like a filmed stage play. But for me, film is very different from theatre. I will always aim to maximise the potential of each channel of the medium.
