This week on the podcast I’m talking to academy award winning supervising sound editor Nina Hartstone.
Nina has been working in the business for over thirty years, she’s worked her way up from assistant sound editor roles in the 90s right through to winning an Oscar for her work on Bohemian Rhapsody.
Her recent projects include Saltburn, Enola Holmes 1 and 2 and 'I wanna dance with somebody'. I spoke to Nina about how she got started in the business, her advice for people starting out, what makes good sound design and what it was like winning an Oscar.
