*"Richard and I recorded these sounds with the focus on sound as a storytelling aspect of the cinematic experience. Often captured ‘acoustically’ in real world spaces, these sounds lay in to edit sessions with minimal mix work because they were intended to enhance narrative media.” ****– *Mark Mangini
