If there is one major thing we agree on: it is a very long and complicated journey towards simplicity. And Nolan’s genius has made it possible.

With material like that of Nolan, directly connected to ancient and current history, it is really fun to discuss and talk about all these pieces. To move between the abstract and the more realistic, and to come back to the decisions made behind the scenes, makes for a joyful conversation.

Hence, The Odyssey gave us a very good reason to set up another Quick Bang — a series in which we take 20–30 minutes, don’t over-edit, don’t over-produce but rather our stream of conscious-thoughts on a movie, without trying to review them.

In this episode, Sophie Sound meets Mike James Gallagher of InDepth Sound Design for a one-on-one conversation about how to approach conversations in the studio and how to get people to open up. InDepth Sound Design is a video series created by Mike that explores the often overlooked role of sound in filmmaking. Inspired by DVD bonus features, especially those from Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Gallagher started out by breaking down iconic film sounds and revealing how multiple layers of audio are combined to create powerful and realistic effects.

Sophie: “I just had to know more about it.”
