Music Dialogue

In this episode, Sound Designer & Re-Recording Mixer Leslie Shatz tells the story about how his first job in the film industry at the American Film Institute propelled him into a career that spans multiple decades and hundreds of film credits. In the 1970’s Leslie was hired as the Dialogue Supervisor on Apocalypse Now. He recounts how he met Francis Ford Coppola and how he was moved into a creative Sound Designer role on Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Leslie also talks about how editing sound in the analog realm during the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s was much different than it is today with modern systems like Pro Tools.
