“Hot Rod” crashes into theaters August 3rd. Helping Rod and his friend’s stunt filled adventure is Sound Supervisor Sean Garnhart. The definition of a renaissance (sound) man, Garnhart was also the sound designer and effects mixer on the show. He has bounced from mixer to designer to editor as well as dabbling in music editorial during his career in NYC. At The Sound Lounge(where the film dubbed), VP of the New York City based sound house, Tony Volante, mixed music and dialog. An established NYC Re-Recording Mixer, Volante has mixed three academy award nominated documentary films in the last few years. Filmed last summer in Vancouver, Michael McGee shot production dialog. For the past decade, McGee shot sound on multiple TV movies and at least one theatrical release per year. Though the test screening I saw had a lot of 80’s songs filling the musical quota for the soundtrack, I have heard rumblings that the final score will pretty bombastic! Trevor Rabin composed for the film, tracking the score at the Todd-AO Scoring Stage. Trevor is currently working on “National Treasure 2” and is going to compose on next year’s “Get Smart”.
