204 - The Emmy-nominated Sound Work of Ripley

Nominated for 13 Primetime Emmy Awards®, “Ripley,” the new Netflix limited series from creator Steven Zaillian, is a masterclass in filmmaking and the art of sound. So it’s no wonder that two of those nominations are for Outstanding Sound Editing and Sound Mixing. And it’s clear why the sound team was given so much creative freedom to explore the sonic possibilities of the show, as many of those details and nuances were written directly into the scripts, and overseen by a showrunner with a sharp attention to detail.

“Without a doubt, Steve Zaillian pays attention to every footstep and every breath and every movement.”

—Michael Barry, Re-recording Mixer, “Ripley”

Today we are joined by members of the sound team behind the show, including:

- Larry Zipf, Co-supervising Sound Editor/Sound Designer and Re-recording Mixer

- Michael Feuser, Co-supervising Sound Editor

- Michael Barry, Re-recording Mixer
