Logger Rhythms

The technique devised by Kit and his assistant Tony Johnson (later a double Oscar-nominated sound mixer for The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Avatar) required considerable ingenuity in the microphone placement of each set-up to get the depth and separation of sound necessary into the location stereo recordings. Back in Wellington in the music studio a similar wide-separation recording technique was used for recording Steve Robinson’s score.

The people at Dolby were so impressed with it [the finished sound mix] that for the next decade Logger Rhythms was used as a demonstration for best practice Dolby sound recording and mixing.
