New post sound blog...

[filmsounddaily]

Hi All,

I just wanted to announce a new sound blog...

http://filmsounddaily.com

I started this in hopes of creating something that focused on feature post sound, showcasing all the talented people and world class facilities that often are faceless entities or job titles in the finishing of films. I found it strange that other post production disciplines press release their involvement but sound, for the most part, remains a mystery. Internet hype is everywhere for upcoming films, but rarley does sound get the attention it deserves. To change this paradigm, awareness and recognition are paramount. So, I view this blog as a more extensive, sound only imdb.com: a one-stop shop for all things film-sound including, but not exclusive to info on the dubbing stage(s), and scoring stage(s) used, as well pictures, mini-bios of the supervising sound editor(s), re-recording mixer(s), production sound mixer(s) and composer(s). I do understand that with this kind of endeavor there is an amount of potential toe stepping involved, so I intend to keep the posts, at least initially, to finished films that already have info available online. I hope that this idea is appealing to fellow colleges and hopefully fan-boys and girls of the internet are already amped up about upcoming films. Obviously, I am trying very hard to post accurate information but any and all comments or corrections are encouraged and appreciated. In addition, I know calling this blog "fimsounddaily" should really entail daily posts. I hope with enough support for this idea I can get the post frequency up to "daily" but until that point it'll be a little more sparse. I hope this blog can evolve into something that will include tech announcements and reviews as well as interviews with crew members and maybe even op-ed pieces, but again, all of that will come with interest and time. If you would like to get in touch with me I have a link to my email in the sidebar; please spread the word, suggest anything you would like to see on this thing, and hopefully, "...If we do our jobs well and throw in a little evangelizing, we can make sound as important part of filmmaking as it should be."-Gary Rydstrom

Enjoy,

Hi, I believe the quote was from Gary Rydstrom but unless I am mistaken the Blog is not written by Gary.
Correct me if I am wrong.

sorry all, just to clarify. This is blog is not related to or written by gary rydstrom. I used a quote of his in the header, but I only used his name so to give credit. I am sorry I didn't make that clear, I am just remaining a little anonymous from the get go to stay neutral. I work as a sound editor in LA, I just loved Gary's quote...
