There's still plenty of room for innovation in filmmaking, in this video I examine how Director Joanna Hogg, and sound designer Jonathan Webb collaborated on "Sonic Storyboards" for the 2019 film The Souvenir. Why not harness sound's full potential to inspire and guide the storytelling process from the start?
Special thanks to Jonathan Webb and Joanna Hogg for their contributions to this video.

reminds me of how ghibli movies create the full storyboard before writing any dialogue

Really interesting video! In my experience as a storyboard artist for TV animation, we do something similar! The editor creates a radioplay with temp voices, SFX, and music. Listening to it helps me better realize the tone, acting, and rhythm of the scenes. I think using sound is such a powerful and necessary tool to create film. It's an AUDIO-visual medium after all! haha

On the sets of Once Upon a Time in America apparently they played the music that's in the movie to guide the actors in their play.

Having studied sound recording and postproduction, and currently struggling to find work in film in my hometown Buenos Aires, this video in a way gives me hope and reminds me that I chose the right path and that I should keep trying because even if sometimes underappreciated sound is the branch of audiovisual art that I love.

As a sound designer myself, I must say I am absolutely impressed with the level of detail and breakdown in this video. Subscribed! Keep it up!

While I'm not a sound designer, when making storyboards I always try to imagine and write down the sounds and try to make the sound lead the story since it impacts me so much when watching films. Japanese films have particularly amazing and clear sound design, weighty and believable but not too cluttered like most Hollywood films.

I needed this, Thomas. Sound is your biggest production value. Especially on an indie set. You write with sound in mind, your film becomes much more powerful. I think of sound as if imaging using split screen effects. So many dimensions and so much you can convey.

I'm in pre-pre-pre-production of a short film that centers around sound.
I was feeling a little stuck and this is really helpful.
Thank you.

Another absolute gem of a video! There must be something in the water, we’re planning on releasing a video on Ren Klyce’s sound design set for tomorrow. Absolutely fascinating how Webb created soundscapes for novels - that’s something I’ve never heard of. I think sound is one aspect of a film people often take for granted, but it’s incredible how much heavy lifting it does in terms of building out the story. Especially love its use when it takes on a more expressive role in bringing us into the subjectivity of a character. Really love your deep dives into these topics that aren’t typically covered as much.

One thing I love about modern film is the “simultaneous timeline” that run through a lot of films.

Fantastic video, fantastic channel. Involving the filmmakers is what helps take your video essays to the next level. Especially amongst the glut of other film YouTubers unfocused rambling over some film clips. That and your focus on the less obvious yet essential parts of the filmmaking process like sound design. Great to see someone actually building on and improving the film video essay format. You've been killing it for a long time now.

This makes me think of all the podcasts that take the audio quality super seriously. World's Beyond Number comes to mind. I don't think I've ever been more immersed in a story than when I'm listening to it.

Love your point about innovation without technological advancement.

Roma (2018) by Alfonso Cuaron had a similar approach. Before anything was filmed they were collecting sounds for the movie of that specific time and place (Mexico City in the 70s).

Never commented, but wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos and the amount of details that go into making them. Always a pleasure to watch. Thank you from Germany:)

While it's not exactly reversing the process, Sergio Leone is known for bringing in sound during production, playing Ennio Morricone's music on set for the actors and camera to choreograph with.

thank you for this. i just watched 'living' recently and was reminded of 'the souvenir' as it has the same actor in it. he is so charismatic and unusual. i really enjoyed 'living' for it's goodness and values. the souvenir stuck with me because i was at university in my twenties in the eighties. it took me back to that feeling and those relationships. our emotional uncertainty and how it countered the physical beauty we had in this time. butterfly years.

Sound design is almost more important than the picture itself. Lynch's Inland Empire is a prime example for that. (Im in love with its picture too. It fits.)

I've always thought movies and games could only be as good as their score. A good music track (rather than a mediocre or misplaced one) can completely change the way a scene reads. When film was in it's infancy, often times music was the only way to really sell what was seen on screen as there could be no dynamic dialogue.

This is my favourite kind of videos - those that explain the process of the creation of a film by getting into details, examples and comparing the initial idea to the finished product
