MZed and Frank Serafine bring to you The Sound Advice Tour. During this 33-city tour attendees will be exposed to an overview of the roles sound plays in a film, web, and broadcast production. Designed for filmmakers, editors, and aspiring sound engineers, this workshop will cover all the techniques and tools needed to expand skills and give attendees a solid foundation to effectively use sound, in a variety of projects.

Frank’s workshop will teach attendees how to implement important functions including: sound recording, sound editing, sound effects, soundtrack, sound mixing, sound design and sound inspiration. Sound alone takes credit for 70% of a movie’s success and, unlike visual presentation sound is a 360-degree experience that surrounds us constantly.

The campaign launched on March 23rd with the debut of three films: “Picture Machine”, “Paperports” and “Creature”. Directed by Studio Nos, Charles Young and Ryan Dzierzek respectively, the variation between the three films is a good indicator of the campaign’s overall breadth. “Picture Machine” documents the construction of a reverse zoetrope, “Paperports” lets us peek into the work and process of Young’s intricate miniature paper architecture practice, and “Creature” tells the tale of a mutant reptile on the loose. read more
