‘Oppenheimer’ supervising sound editor Richard King video interview
GoldDerby: The Christopher Nolan-directed biopic “Oppenheimer” tells the story about scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. It features the sound design and supervising sound editing work of Richard King. That King was hired to be in charge of the film’s sound is hardly a surprise. It’s the eighth movie that the four-time Academy Award-winning sound man has collaborated on with Nolan

This was so interesting to read. I love all of Nolans films, and to hear from his creative team is so fascinating. Oppenheimer had really cool sound effects as well, because of the abstract and nonlinear nature of which it was written. One of my favorite scenes in the film greatly revolved around the sound - after the Trinity test where you hear a drumming in Oppenheimers brain which turns out to be the roar of the stomping feet in the hall where he makes his speech. I thought that it was so incredibly impactful to the message they were trying to tell during that moment, and definitely made you feel slightly dazed and enraptured in the film like how Oppenheimer was overwhelmed with his situation. Sound in film, though I don’t know too much about it, clearly makes the mood of the film. Also I remember hearing about how sound is the first thing that an audience notices when it goes wrong, even unconsciously, which makes it even harder to do well.
