How I Created The Final Sound Mix (Dub) for Impact50 for the Cinema Release, by Guy Rowland
“How do you fancy dubbing a 2hr 20 min movie in a day”? “Great!” “These aren’t the droids you’re looking for.” “These aren’t the droids I’m looking for”. I think that’s how Chris Jones does it, you know. To be fair, I did sort of know what I was getting into – 50 films, all
Final Poster Poll… meteor or no meteor?
