Sound for Picture - Revised Edition : The Art of Sound Design in Film and Television

Rating:
Summary: Good but uneven
Review: This is a collection of interviews done with famous sound designers and engineers for a magazine. Which is entertaining and can be quite informative. Be warned that there is no hands-on information and no clear tips and tricks. It reads more like a long magazine and some of the interviews are very hollow and uninformative. Others, however pack some interesting historical and/or amusing information and sometimes even useful tips. Ex: water and voice are roughly on the same frequency range making it difficult to mix dialogue and water in a movie - interesting, huh? At least I thought so...
If you are looking for a book to explain to you how to create sounds for film, this is not it. If you are a sound designer and are interested in reading what other sound designers are doing and have done, this can be useful and/or entertaining. But not all chapters.
