The Sound of Transformers 3

Very rarely do we get an inside peek at oneof the most important aspects of film making - Sound Design. I cannot stress upon how important good sound design is for any movie, commercial or game. Try watching the opening of Saving Private Ryan with the audio on mute and you'll know what am talking about.
Even Visual Effects have a bigger impact with great sound. Your explosions, laser blasts etc have more impact with a great sound effect mixed into it.

Check this Video out on the making of the Sound for TF3

" Director Michael Bay and Producer Steven Spielberg return this summer for the third film in the Transformers franchise, Tranformers: Dark of the Moon. The amazing visual effects in this film are complemented by the talented efforts of the sound team including Re-recording Mixers Greg Russell and Jeff Haboush, and Supervising Sound Editor and Sound Designers Ethan Van der Ryn, and Erik Aadahl.

This is the first 3D film of the series and will also be presented in regular 2D, Real D 3D and IMAX, featuring Dolby Surround 7.1 sound."

Portal: No Escape


"Portal: No Escape" , directed by Dan Trachtenberg, who's a commercials Director. In May, he directed a horror short film “More Than You Can Chew” for Black Box TV. Dan premiered a new short film at Comic-Con, which was met with a standing ovation. 
The short looks pretty cool, but I wonder how this would hold up as a feature length film, the concept is great for the game, making it a really fun puzzle play.  I know the game has a plot but don't know how far it will go.
