Sound for Independent Audiovisual Storytelling

The art of audiovisual sound design is changing as the world of filmmaking is changing. Equipment costs are lowering and the landscape of distribution is widening. Lying at this intersection is a new spirit of creative independence in audiovisual storytelling. Individual sound designers have never been more empowered to find their own creative “voice.” This book was written to meet this digital, nonlinear, liberated mindset. Rather than bog you down with outdated equipment, insider stories, and unnecessary technical minutia, "Sound for Independent Audiovisual Storytelling" provides you with a method, from start to finish. The aim is to use the equipment of today in a way that helps to inspire your creativity. It is designed for independent minds, whether you are a sound artist, a director, or a student in a classroom. If you are working outside the mainstream, yet want to learn the tools and the trade of the Hollywood greats, this book is for you.
