SHREK THE THIRD

In a summer of sequels “Shrek the Third” rides into theathers May 18th. Bringing that CG created fairytale world to life, let alone sound funny are Richard L. Anderson, Thomas Jones Supervising Sound Editors, Anna Behlmer, Andy Nelson Re-recording mixers, and Harry Gregson-Williams Composer. Animated soundtracks have always lent an enhanced level of creative license, and though the majority of feature releases replace most production sound with foley and/or sound effects, every single auditory event are left to the sound editors, mixers, and composers to design from scratch. Richard L. Anderson and Thomas Jones are no strangers to animation, co-sound souping Dreamworks’ “Over the Hedge” and “Flushed Away” over the last two years. Anderson just received the “career achievement award” at this years MPSE Golden Reel awards for his work on everything from “Raiders of the Lost Arc” to “Being John Malkovich”. Andy Nelson and Anna Behlemer coming off back to back sound mixing oscar nods for ““War of the Worlds” and “Blood Diamond” respectively, mixed the film at Fox’s Howard Hawks dub stage, one of the three feature stages located on the Centery City lot. Harry Gregson-Williams returns to the swamp having scored the first 2 shreks. As Tony Scott’s go to guy, Williams has scored all of Scott’s features since 1998’s “Enemy of the State”. Though I do not have confirmation of this, I believe the score was tracked ar Air Studio’s in London, being that almost all of the most recent Dreamworks animated films including “Shrek 2” were scored there…
