How to create the soundscape in "Dune 2": FMX Q&A Time with Martin Kwok

Sound Editor Martin Kwok has been part of the innovative, award winning post production community in Wellington, New Zealand for over two decades. Having worked on all of Peter Jackson’s titles since “The Lord of The Rings” trilogy in the early 2000s, he’s become an integral part of a pioneering group of sound professionals who have also worked for the likes of Steven Spielberg (“The Adventures of Tintin”) and James Cameron (“Avatar: The Way of Water”).

At FMX 2024, Martin told the audience about his work as a dialog editor on the breathtaking soundscape in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune 2”. He also gave a masterclass at Filmakademie Baden-Württemberg GmbH, extending his presentation by explaining how the crew groundbreakingly used machine learning audio source separation tools to drastically enhance the sound.

In our Q&A, Martin talks about the importance of narrative, secrets of collaboration and his favorite character in “Dune”.
