Exploring Immersive Mixing

August 4 at 2:00 PM - Community Hall

With the growing number of movie theaters around the country and world adapting Dolby Atmos screening
rooms, the film industry as a whole has been migrating their workflows and deliverables to accommodate this
new delivery format. In this workshop, we will explore what is Dolby Atmos, how it differs from traditional sur-
round sound, what is needed to bring your project to the Atmos experience, and if you really need it. Join Jay
Sheehan, Woods Hole Film Festival Board member and consultant and owner of Garrett Audio, as he presents
this workshop on navigating Dolby Atmos. Plus he’ll examine what the emerging filmmakers of today need to
consider about adopting the workflow.
