The Desolation of Smaug, SoundWorks Featurette

The sound team at Soundsworks Collection discusses how they approached Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. It’s fascinating to hear how the movie’s sound changes during different scenes in the film, from when Bilbo first rises up to the echoing halls of Erebor to the grumbles and fire-breathing of Smaug himself.
