Sound for Video Session: Post Sound with Midge Costin

In this week's Sound for Video Session, we are joined by Midge Costin. Before joining the faculty of USC's School of Cinematic Arts, Ms. Costin worked on the sound design of some of the biggest films of the 90s, including The Rock, Crimson Tide, and Armageddon! (The latter two receiving Academy Award nominations for Sound Editing.) She is a member of both the Motion Picture Sound Editors and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. She is also a filmmaker in her own right, having recently produced and directed a film that I'm a big fan of, and I suspect a large number of you are with me on this. That film is, of course, "Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound". Learn more about Midge's film, "Making Waves: The Art of Cinematic Sound". You can stream Making Waves on Amazon and YouTube. Follow Making Waves on Twitter and Instagram. You can find Midge's IMDB profile here.
