Sc. 1 Introduction

Professional sound people are among the most enthusiastic artisans in the Hollywood culture. Although they live confined (editors cloistered in dingy cutting rooms, mixers in some airtight cathedral of a dub stage, all unaware of the earth’s daily rotation), most are true movie fans, happy to be constructing a dream world. Some post people exhibit a childlike enthusiasm for the effectiveness of new tools, and (though they are competitive) most enjoy each other’s artistic achievements. Readers saw and participated in this enthusiasm during the life of Moviesound Newsletter
