Does MPSE stand for Motion Picture Sound Engineer? What have you done? Or are you allowed to say? I suppose you can say since you'd be listed int he credits.

That sounds like a lot of fun. If a film you do wins an oscar do you get to go? I know they have an oscars for the technical side of it on another day.

I do not like to talk about films I have worked on specifically because it keeps the legal department at my studio off this website. I got into too much trouble talking about specifics when on Bluray.com, and do not want to repeat that mistake again.

I now work on the home video side of things, I stop doing feature films awhile back because of the intensive work hours you have to put in on them. I have done the sound on all of the Disney Blu ray's(not Pixar stuff though), and made for hometheater mixes on DVD. On the feature film side, my work has primarily been to come in and fix stuff the hired re-recording engineer screwed up, or what the director didn't like, so sometimes I don't really get screen credits, I get the money!

I was part of a team that won a Oscar for best film sound. Hunt for Red October was one, but I also got 2 more for my work on a very popular late night talk show. I have always discouraged any nomination for awards, as I am not a in front of the camera type, I like to stay behind the scenes. I think the money I bring home is the best reward anyway!

That's great Sir T. The Hunt for Red October was certainly technically impressive - and I enjoyed the movie to boot. Always liked Sean Connery. It's great to make money but it's nice to be a part of something that will live long after you as well. The Hunt for Red October was one of my dad's favorite movies - he always liked the war pictures.

Speaking on Late Night talk shows - have you watched Craig Ferguson? He's quite funny when he makes fun of the show's budget and his "lighting" people. He can't afford a side-kick so mythbusters made him a robot named Geoff Peterson who has the worst comic timing in the business. Craig seems to be quite friendly with his time slot competitor Jimmy Fallon.

Thanks for the info on the Blu-Ray thread. Up here stores are still taking DVDs on trade so I may dump them while I have the chance. Blockbuster video is taking them in as well - and Blockbuster is probably on its lasdt legs with net-flix coming and those vending machines that are in the U.S. but not up here in numbers yet - though they are up here. I live on Vancouver Island so it takes a bit longer for the tech to get here.
