Sam Raimi,"The Dub Stage" in Post Magazine
Here is an article in this issue of "Post Magazine " with "Drag Me To Hell" Director Sam Raimi about mixing at "The Dub Stage"
================================= Post: How important are sound and music to you? RAIMI: “They’re crucial in a horror film. We had a great composer, Chris Young, who did a lot of horror films like Hellraiser and who worked with me on Spider-Man 3. And we had a great sound design team on this film. They were so creative and they had the same interest as Bob and I, which was using the soundtrack to create this world that didn’t exist, the world of the supernatural. “Horror films are a great genre for filming experimentation. Not only can my DP Peter experiment with all sorts of lighting and camera techniques to create this other world, but you can use the soundtrack to give it texture and create an environment that doesn’t exist in the here-and-now. “We did the mix at The Dub Stage in Burbank and had great mixers — Marti Humphrey and Chris Jacobson — who had amazing abilities to move sounds around and give multi-dimensional experiences through the eyes of the main character. We also created a lot of very unusual sounds and effects, sometimes suggested by Bob in the editing room originally, and then carried on through by our sound effects designers and editors, Paul Ottosson and Jussi Tegelman. Together they created some very strange, scary sounds that suggested things not of this earth. So they had to go to unusual places to plant those seeds in the minds of the audience, and I think they were very successful at it and letting their imaginations run wild.” ===================================== Here's the link to the Full article in Post Magazine: http://www.postmagazine.com/ME2/dirm...3C884BDE603E22

Glorified panpots? hmmpff. I know your skills go WAY FAR BEYOND just "amazing abilities to move sounds around". Kudos. You deserve the successes and recognition you've been having.

Hey Marti,
It was nice to see you (and put a face to Dr Sound) in the sound design segment of the Drag me to Hell DVD production diaries. Good spot and great work on that film, I loved it. Doug |

Cool of Sam Raimi to give you guys such great props--very un-Hollywood in my experience. I know you Dub Stagers pull out all the stops for every film you do, but it's really great to get such public praise from an A-list director like Raimi. I'll bet it was tough but fun.
