Sound Designing Authenticity in Documentary

Monday, March 16
2:00PM - 3:00PM

InterContinental Stephen F. Austin
Capital Ballroom B
701 Congress Ave

A round table discussion on the art and science of sound design in documentary, with sound design heavyweights Pete Horner, Coll Anderson and Peter Albretchsen. How do you build an environment that realistically, emotionally and even subconsciously interacts with documentary visuals? Does authenticity matter in doc sound? How does it differ from narrative fiction sound design?

Using case studies and rich examples, this panel will explore the ethics and aesthetics of using manufactured sound schemes to build a more realistic and sometimes surreal soundscape; question the expectations of sound design in the documentary medium; and examine the use of music, Foley and production sounds in building the ultimate nonfiction aural experience.
