Having had two theatre shows filmed for cinema release, I haven’t had the greatest experience engaging with the post production chaps: in both cases I’ve had to explain that when the cast members exit upstage, door slams shouldn’t be shoved in the rear speakers. Similarly, with a scene where all the cast are looking through an upstage window at someone riding across a field being chased by dogs, panning the sound effect through the rears and then round to the front speakers may be fun, but it doesn’t chime with with what’s on the screen.
As for the up-mix to Dolby Atmos that happened for the second film, I had no control over how the effects were sourced and the result in the cinema was pretty terrible, and totally unnecessary. Rain makes a noise when it hits a surface, not when it’s flying through the air. The DTS system may be better - I have a colleague who’s involved in the development and he’s very enthusiastic about the possibilities. We shall see.
