In this episode, Dr. Vanessa Theme Ament, Author of The Foley Grail, speaks with Academy Award winning (for Bram Stoker's Dracula, 1992) Supervising Sound Editor David E. Stone. In this conversation, Vanessa and David discuss Stone's new sound film history website, "Sound of a Shot" (soundofashot.com). Sound of a Shot provides detailed analyses of lesser known early sound films such as Act of Violence, Across the Pacific, Jamaica Inn, A Man Escaped, 3:10 to Yuma, He Walked by Night, and Svengali, among other films that will be added in the future. Stone's purpose for this website is to provide an interactive approach to film sound history for all film enthusiasts to learn more about early film sound practices. Stone's interest is to study the "mundane" films versus the "spectacular" films he worked on in the 1980s and 1990s. Stone believes that devotees of film need to focus on sound fundamentals that can get lost when the focus is on "spectacular" sound designs. Welcome to the wonderful world of performative film sound.
