Meet the Sound Man

Owen Peters is probably one of the nicest blokes in the world, and happens to be behind the sound design for Derelict. Owen came onboard through the Production Designer, as they have worked together on numerous projects before.

Owen is from deepest darkest Wales, and rumour says he was raised by wild bears. Apparently he would climb the highest mountains of Wales just so he could better understand silence. Owen had a lot of enthusiasm for the project, and worked hard to capture the changing sound level the actor’s performances brought.

I was always surprised by Owen’s ability to hold his recording gear, boom mic and still have a cup of tea at the same time. Owen was also involved in the sound mix, and layered up a great sound canvas. He mixed the sound at Molinare Studios for the final sound mix, making use of the rich depth of sound and the immense score.
