Do you want to learn everything about fantastic sound and a whole new audience experience through Immersive Sound in Dolby Atmos?

Then come to the seminar organized by the VCA (Association of Sound Professionals) on Saturday, September 24, about 'Immersive Sound'. Immersive Sound is a term that describes new '3D surround sound formats', which use dozens of speakers distributed throughout the room to enhance the listening experience.

One of the parties offering this new sound format is Dolby Atmos. For instance, the Dutch film 'Holland – Natuur in de Delta' was already mixed in Dolby Atmos. Will this format become the new standard?

During the seminar, questions will be discussed such as: What does immersive sound have to offer? What are the pitfalls? And what can we do with it in the Netherlands?

These questions are discussed by Graham Daniel and Adam Daniel (UK) from Point1Post, among others. This father and son from England are the two re-recording mixers for the film 'Holland – Natuur in de Delta'.

Graham Daniel has over 40 years of experience in post-production and has worked with leading directors such as Stanley Kubrick, Ridley & Tony Scott, and Danny Boyle. He has mixed over 150 feature films and received 4 BAFTA nominations. His son, Adam Daniel, has been a Re-Recording Mixer for 16 years and learned the trade under the tutelage of Ray Merrin (The Shining, Alien). He has over 100 films to his name and is currently also active as a sound editor.

Peter Oskam and Erik Langhout will also join to share their experiences regarding the Dutch part of the sound design for 'Holland – Nature in the Delta'. The moderator of the program is Jaim Sahuleka (Chairman of the VCA).
