Sound Advice: Adapting Video Games for Film & TV

MPSE Sound Advice, Hosted by Eric Marks MPSE, Presents:

"Adapting Video Games for Film & TV"

Narratives in games have been increasingly deep and resonant for decades, and Hollywood is finally adapting these stories in a respectful way for audiences of all ages to enjoy. We're witnessing rapid growth in these adaptations, which will likely continue for years to come.

But with sound being such an iconic part of the games, how are these sounds being integrated into the films and show adaptations? What is communication like between post production sound teams and the game audio teams, and how much freedom is there to update the audio palate without upsetting fans?

Join us for an expansive conversation with some titans of both the post production sound and game audio industries:

• Randy Thom, MPSE - Sound Designer of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
• Jamey Scott, MPSE - Sound Designer of The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
