In this episode of In the Dark with Shane, we explore the cutting-edge world of immersive audio and its transformative potential in documentary filmmaking. Imagine your audience not just watching your film but feeling it—where every rustle of leaves and distant echo draws them deeper into your story. Immersive audio recording does just that, creating a 360-degree soundscape that enhances realism, emotional engagement, and the overall cinematic experience.

Join us as we dive into this innovative frontier with two industry experts: Tom Mitchell, an acclaimed immersive audio location recordist, and Anthony Marsh, a post-production audio engineer who masters immersive soundscapes in his Newcastle-based ATMOS suite. Together, they'll share their insights, from technical details to practical techniques, revealing how you can elevate your work and create unforgettable storytelling experiences.

Whether you're an indie filmmaker or a seasoned pro, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and inspiration to harness the power of immersive audio. We also discuss real-world applications, including the documentary "Truth," and how immersive audio brought the Australian outback to life. Tune in to discover how this technology is shaping the future of storytelling, and why now is the time to experiment and integrate it into your projects.
