UNDERDOG

“Underdog” marks theaters August 3rd. Helping give the four-legged superhero’s barks and growls life is Sound Supervisor Robert L. Sephton. Sephton, no stranger to canine audio, supervised “The Shaggy Dog”, “Snow Dogs”, “Homeward Bound II” and was an effects editor on 1994’s “Iron Will.” F. Scott Taylor, a long time assistant sound editor for Sephton, was the Assistant Sound Supervisor on the show. Dean A. Zupancic and Terry Porter mixed the film at Disney’s Main Theater on the Burbank lot. Together the team has mixed almost all of Disney’s traditional 2-D animated films since 1995’s “Pocahontas.” Separately, Porter has been mixing them since the reemergence of Disney-animated theatrical hits starting with 1989’s “The Little Mermaid”. Production mixing duties rolled over into Tom Williams’ lap. Williams is currently shooting location sound on Jonathan Demme’s next film, “He Comes in Peace.” Continuing his collaboration with man’s best friend, Williams was the mixer on The National Geographic’s “Dog’s with Jobs”. Randy Edelman composed for the film at “Hear No Evil Studios” in London. Edelman, an established musician/songwriter in his early years, has composed for over 60 films.
