Sound Design for Special Venue
Images in Sound was founded by Brian Eimer in 2004. InPark Editor Martin Palicki asked Brian about the companyâs audio post-production services and his work in the industry. First off, tell us a little about your expertise and what Images in Sound does. I have over 20 years experience in sound design, designing for all genres of motion pictures, including themed attractions, ridefilms, IMAX films, features and television. Iâve done work for Chimelong, Wanda, Prana, SimexIwerks, and IMAX Ridefilm. Iâve also designed and installed sound environments at Oltramare in Italy, and Camoes in Portugal. "The on site mixing is one of the most important services we offer. Themed attractions almost always have unique speaker configurations. In order for the soundscape or sound design to have the most impact on the visitor, itâs necessary to be on site to make final adjustments.â Images In Sound is a sound design company that handles all the sound design needs of any attraction. We do SFX, music (if required), premixing, and on site mixing. The on site mixing is one of the most important services we offer. Themed attractions almost always have unique speaker configurations. In order for the soundscape or sound design to have the most impact on the visitor, itâs necessary to be on site to make final adjustments. One of your niches is special venue. But you also have done film and TV work. What are the unique elements of working in special venue? Yes, Iâve done a lot of TV and a few feature films. What makes special venue really unique is that it doesnât need to conform to standard speaker layouts. Because youâre designing for the speaker configuration you have a lot more creative freedom. I have just upgraded my facility to Dolby Atmos and IMAX 12, so that extended creative freedom is now finding its way into the mainstream, but with 27.1, or 26.2 speaker configurations you can have a lot of fun. Youâve done some work in Asia recently. Tell us about some of your recent international projects In terms of Asia, Iâve done two projects for Chimlong: Alien Attack in Guangzhou, and Kakaâs Big Adventure...
