Michelle Child – Sound Design/ Sound Editing
It has been a long time since my last post. It's like going to the dentist. The longer you leave it, the harder and scarier it is to go back. The main reason for my long silence is simply too much work. Our work/life balance has been incredibly unbalanced for the last few years. Which... Continue Reading →
It has been 2 weeks since we returned from out adventure to Europe and I'm finally back in the swing of sound editing. Just to recap. We were in Europe for a month and a half. Two weeks in the UK, two weeks in Ibiza, three days in Barcelona and then three weeks in... Continue Reading →
I'm pretty proud to have been a part of this film. For anyone who is curious about what we did, here is a little making-of teaser that features interviews with my partner Dave Whitehead and I. It is such a gift to work on projects where the director cares so much about sound. Denis Villeneuve is an... Continue Reading →
Oscar season is an exciting time in the film industry. This year things are more exciting than usual for Dave and I. Arrival, the wonderful film we worked on last year is up for a number of awards, including best sound editing! We were incredibly grateful to be involved with this fantastic... Continue Reading →
Hi guys, It's been a while. There has been a lot happening here. I've been busy helping Dave get the first of our commercial sound libraries up for sale online. After working in the film industry on other people's projects for so long, it's great to finally start making stuff for ourselves. The first library,... Continue Reading →
I'm working on a game, that much I have said. I've held off talking about this for a long time, but interest is growing on the social media networks, so perhaps it is time I admitted what I was up to? It's been a long time since I've blogged, but much of that has to... Continue Reading →
It's been a while, so I feel like it's time for an update. I've been working on a game this year, which has been a nice change from working on films. Though I've done a few short projects as well because it's nice to mix it up. Unlike films, games are totally non-linear. Well, at... Continue Reading →
Hi there people! Today we are in the studio editing the M10 recordings Dave took from his trip to Vietnam! One of the trickiest things about a process like this, is figuring out how to name and ID files, when you were not there. When I chop and load sounds that I was present at... Continue Reading →
It has been over two months since our January record mission and I am now in the studio, editing the sounds. Actually, I've been editing them for the last two months...in between other bits and pieces of work. When we were recording, we always kept the Schoeps MS rig on the first 2 tracks of...

Dave and I have returned from our first recording mission of the year. Though we have been on many record trips together, this is the first time that we have been purely off our own steam and with no attachment to a particular film or project. Typically, we only get away from our dark studios... Continue Reading →
