Stoeckinger: The old school way is if you have three gunshots in a row to put a blank frame between each gunshot, so when the next one happens, it's got a clean beginning, as an example. So if you listen to sounds on their own outside of the mix individually, they might all sound cut up and disjointed, but once put together into the soundtrack, the goal is not to sound that way. If you didn't just truncate it to maybe just a couple frames long, if that's what it needs to be, then it's just mushy. But frequently you've got other sounds coming up. You can't just put the sound out of a gunshot in, it goes "bang," and it tails off. Stoeckinger: One thing I'll say about it, too, when you put the sounds together, you can't just use a gunshot because it's so simple. There's only two scenes I can think of that I saw in the whole movie that got left behind. Some scenes got left behind before we really got heavily involved. Things changed along the way, but nothing, and particularly in this film, nothing of significance that was done that got left behind. By the time we were going to make the full press into the soundtrack of the film, it was fairly decided on what the cut of the film was going to be. But on this one, it was really a lot of content providing along the way. As far as contributing sounds and making sounds for the picture editor and their assistant team to utilize in making the sound work within their Avid editing, and ultimately their preview, that is something they really controlled.įrequently, we might be involved earlier on and do mixes and do some sound design work that eventually matriculates itself into the final mix. As far as the sound work that we did that ended up on the cutting room floor, we came in at various stages. Stoeckinger: Each film is made in unique ways, and "John Wick 4" was made in unique ways. How much of the sound work that you guys did actually wound up on the cutting room floor? We sort of shaped the emotion of the soundtrack in that balancing and the decisions that we make and help further some of the ideas or make ideas more clear through the mix.įocusing a bit more specifically on "John Wick: Chapter 4," apparently the original cut was around four hours.
