      I didn't get the joke about Up! but my personal opinion of the film is I didn't like it... the whole message of the thing is messed up, vindictive nonsense. I do like most Pixar films but this one, it's bad.
      When Steve Jobs brought down the iPad tablet and sold it as somehow completely new and "transformative", and then featured Up, he lost the last bit of credibility he still had for me.

    Wow. Never would’ve thought I’d spend half an hour watching a video on sound design. But this was amazing! As someone constantly trying to be better as a video producer for my on channel, this was extremely informative and helpful. Great job editing too and putting visual ques to assist in understanding some of these concepts 🙏🏽

    Great video guys! We need more education here on TH-cam on how to utilize audio for storytelling. Enhanced sound design will surely 5x every creator's story and production value. Good sound and sound design are very often overlooked by the beginning creator. Great sound design focuses on the emotions of the story, how you want the story to feel. Sound creates the heart of the story ❤️

    Sound is the most important because, your ears were the first way you started getting signals from the outside world.
    So yeah, audio is definitely more important than a video's dynamic range, for you camera and lens gear-heads...
    Note on position of FetHead...
    The guest's mic has it incorrectly, any cable noise or interference will be amplified since the +20dB or whatever FetHead amplified sound signal, now has to pass through all that cable...and be amplified again by the pre-amp...Funny how it's on the audio expert's mic, and he didn't notice it. Though not everyone notices the BIG & the small things.

    I'm so upset that Wall-E wasn't brought up during the Pixar conversation! Not only is it one of my favorite movies, but it had hardly any dialogue in the first half of the movie. It's an incredible modern example of how sound design, effects and music can help to convey emotions and intent without the aid of dialogue.
    Regardless though, lots of wonderful tidbits and information in this video. Thanks for the upload!

    I think it would be great if you did an episode like this specifically on music. There's so much more to music than just having happy music or sad music. A great score can tell the story of the film by itself (just listen to the Star Wars soundtrack by itself). It's such a deep topic that I think another video would be beneficial (ofc I'm biased since I write music haha) :)
