An Interview with Sound Editor/Designer/Mixer,
Steven Yeaman

 

How did you become involved with Hopelessly in June?

I met Vincent on a short he did called Jason Blackwell. I did the sound for that. We connected instantly. I saw his talent immediately. He called me to see the screening. I was blown away. I laughed and and got tears.”Tears never happen to me.”

Say Music and Sound

Describe your overall experience working on this film.

Two words. Roller coaster. For a comedy this is packed with laughs. I had a lot of fun with this film.

How is doing sound different for a romantic comedy as, say, for a horror or action film?

In some spots I did treat it as an action, and horror, but it was the touching moments that was the hardest. Action and horror is easy. Comedy is hard.

What is the biggest challenge you faced working on Hopelessly In June?

In comedy it is all about timing, and sound designing with the timing was a challenge. Believe me, not everything works the first time.

    [...] While we have Hopelessly in June circulating the studio system we have submitted the film to festivals in Los Angeles and across the country (and Canada).  We were thrilled to have our World Premiere right here in LA at Dances With Films.  The festival was a wonderful experience thanks to Leslee Scallon, Michael Trent and Tracey Shrier (and of course my sister Krista Vanore who also worked for the festival).  I met wonderful people – filmmakers and industry execs alike.  Our screening was packed and filled with laughs.  We were graced with the presence of most of our main cast: Vincent Brantley, Carolyn Neff, Keith David, Peter Jason, Ella Joyce, Chris Biewer, Chalant Phifer and of course our producing and writing teams.  In the next month we will be screening the film in Phoenix, Arizona.  More details to follow. Recently in the press: Vincent Brantley spoke to EurWeb and we did our own Behind The Scenes Interview w/ Sound Editor, Designer, Mixer, Steven Yeaman. [...]
