Christian Dolan

After being grown in a vat by an imperial alien race, Christian Dolan decided that, rather than conquer and colonize the Earth, he would instead become a freelance sound mixer for film and television in sunny Portland, Oregon.

Though he misses the untold power of commanding an intergalactic armada, he finds a satisfying sense of accomplishment in providing clean audio tracks for film, television and corporate projects.

He also sometimes drinks.

Demented and Sad, But Social

Production mixer Mark Weingarten on the sound of The Social Network

I’ve seen numerous interviews (here, here and here) about the incredible sound of The Social Network, but none featuring production sound mixer Mark Weingarten. Mark’s been quite busy since wrapping the movie, and hasn’t had time to participate in any of the Q & As or behind-the-scenes material, but was kind enough to take a few minutes out of his full schedule to answer some questions about his work on the project.

Martini 2.0

Christian Dolan

We need to rethink the “martini.”

It never fails: everyone’s beat, the lead actor has finally gotten through that tongue-twisty sequence in the dialog without flubbing, and you’re about to lose your light. The director calls “Cut!” with more enthusiasm than you’ve heard all week, and everyone springs to their feet, invigorated by the prospect of impeding libation.
