We should ask ourselves why this kind of humor would never be aimed at cinematographers. There’s something going on here that we sound people need to understand. Why are we considered silly nerds, and cinematographers are considered serious craftspeople?
Isn’t it always easier to joke about something you don’t understand? Because we are hidden away in our quiet spaces where our craft remains a mystery to most. Cinematographers are out in the light of the production being seen and heard orchestrating the visuals. But I would have loved to see a sound design performance at the oscars.. however they would have most likely aired it during a commercial break 😂
