The award winning recordist and mixer is also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. At the Master Class, Craig Mann took the delegates through how he turned his lifelong passion into a game changing career move, as he began experimenting with recording sound effects and music even while in high school.Craig Mann said,"Having worked in the field of sound recording and mixing, I’ve realised the importance of sound in motion pictures. Sound supports a good story and it’s very important. It also determines certain emotions that you want certain scenes to convey." Talking about his journey that led him to become one of the leading names in sound design, he said, "While my parents pushed me to study as they believed sound engineering wouldn't help me much in terms of making money, I was determined to take it forward. I’ve worked as a light assistant at one of the well-known post production houses in Canada and also learnt TV and film mixing." UNI
