For one whole week, the Sound Design for Visual Media program played host to Academy Award-winning Sound Mixer Ray Beckett.

As Sound Design alum John Born then recounted, Ray took students through his pre-production, production, and post-production processes, sharing his 30 years of experience working on films like The Hurt Locker — for which he won an Oscar.

Head of Department Shane Rees sat down with Ray to talk about his big win, the challenges of recording good location sound, and his time spent at VFS.
