“This was a particularly tricky show sound-wise – primarily because it arrived from the cutting room with no useable location sound. This meant I had to build the soundscape from the ground up, sourcing all the specific creature sounds and localising birdsong to make sure that each location was 100% geographically correct. Each move had to be recorded in Foley to give the show a strong sense of urgency and reality whilst putting the viewer at the heart of the action. There were lots of of opportunities of impressionistic and expressionistic sound design – elements that added drama and impact to the on-screen action. Fraser Purdie provided the icing on the cake with his beautiful score. We ended up with a rich, detailed soundscape to go with the beautiful shots of the magical land of Oz. It was a joy to work with the production team with in Australian and UK – both of whom engaged fully in the sound and feel of the films..”
