Creative vs Technical Sound Design Mindsets
The first item on the checklist for being a good Sound Designer for Film, or any medium for that matter, is being gifted in both the technical and creative departments. At Syren Studios, we're lucky enough to balance each other out, with one of us being more technically driven and one of us being more creatively driven, but we both have the skills to complete projects on our own too. We usually find that each project requires a completely different approach, but it's important to be thinking outside the box all the time to make our work unique and give it something another Sound Designer may not be able to.

In this blog, I'm going to lay out the most important connections to make with your fellow film crew, and why talking to them can make your job easier.
