![]() ![]() You know? We had to walk that line and we hope to achieve that. ![]() ![]() We really tried to get that balance of having the power there, feeling the power, and letting it play and weave in and out within the film with dialogue, music, and emotion. And it’s like standing next to a 747.ĭavid Giammarco: And then it became a balancing act between supporting what we see on-screen - letting these characters really develop and play - and let these cars play with the music. But, at the same time, I had this strong feeling that I wanted the cars to be the loudest things on the screen. So, with that in mind, yeah, we tried to make the cars and all the other sound effects in the movie make sense to the storytelling ability of the story.

So, after Ford v Ferrari received its much-deserved sound mixing and sound editing nominations on Monday, we spoke with two of the four freshly-anointed Ford v Ferrari sound nominees, Don Sylvester (his first) and David Giammarco (his third) about what went into creating the sound for this film. ![]() Oh course, probably like you, I am the definition of a layman when it comes to sound mixing and sound editing on a motion picture. (After the movie I tweeted Ford v Ferrari should win the sound Oscars, something I’ve never tweeted about, or even thought about much before.) It made you feel the power of the car we were in. There was something all-encompassing and realistic about it, yet it was never overwhelming.
