Finns Lauri Marjamaa mixed Heikki Kossi were involved in the sound design working group of the documentary.
By Joshua Seftel in the short documentary “All the Empty Rooms” directed by a journalist from the TV channel CBS Steve Hartman and a photographer Lou Bopp honor the memory of those killed in school shootings by photographing children’s empty bedrooms.
– It’s really great that I could be involved in this project. The feeling of the documentary’s Oscar win is of course quite amazing, but of course the eye also quickly turns to the realities and the harsh fact, what kind of subject matter the documentary deals with, Marjamaa, who works at the podcast platform Podme, says in Podme’s press release.
Marjamaa and Kossi’s goal in the documentary was to make the filmed rooms feel empty in terms of the sound world.
Podme says in the announcement that the task of the foley recorder is to record the sounds produced by the foley artist in a suitable relationship to the image or the emotional state of the scene, using various microphone techniques as help.
Foley sounds are sound effects belonging to the events of the film, which are recorded afterwards in time with the movements of the actors and the events of the picture.
