Creating sounds, mix, more for 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1'

postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective: It may be called The Hunger Games, but in Mockingjay, Part 1, the games are over. Life for the people of Panem, outside The Capitol, is about rebellion, war and survival. Supervising sound editor/sound designer/re-recording mixer Jeremy Peirson, at Warner Bros. Sound in Burbank, has worked with director Francis Lawrence on both Catching Fire and Mockingjay, Part 1. Without the arena and its sinister array of “horrors” (for those who don’t remember Catching Fire, those horrors, such as blood rain, acid fog, carnivorous monkeys and lightening storms were released every hour in the arena), Mockingjay, Part 1 is not nearly as diverse, according to Peirson. “Catching Fire was such a huge story between The Capitol and all the various Districts. We had different areas of the jungle in the arena, and all the different traps and mayhem that was happening. I have to say Mockingjay is a little more straightforward. It’s more like the big set up for the final chapter.”
