Sound. Often overlooked in many a film by critics, reviewers and movie-goers alike, it is nevertheless a critical element for a complete cinematic experience and never moreso than in a film like JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2<\/a><\/strong>. \u00a0Speaking at length with director Chad Stahelski about the soundscape and sonic experience of JW2, he was quick to give credit to his sound team at Formosa Group<\/strong><\/a> for both JOHN WICK and JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2, most notably Supervising Sound Editor MARK STOECKINGER.<\/p>\n

As I spoke about with Stahelski, it was easy to understand the intricacy of the sound design and mix of JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2, from specific sounds to the multiplicity of armaments and weaponry in the film, various caliber guns, different styles of knives, all of which are distinctive within the sonic scheme, yet blended beautifully not only within the sound design but in synchronization to the picture editing of Evan Schiff. It was clear a conversation with MARK STOECKINGER was in order.<\/p>\n

As Stoeckinger noted in our conversation, it was important that everybody be on board for the same mission, particularly when working with a collaborative and effective director like Chad Stahelski who gives the directive, \u201cI want it to be cool. Just make it cool.\u201d According to Stoeckinger, \u201cThat\u2019s a nice palette to paint from\u201d, but everyone has to know just what \u201ccool\u201d is. Celebrating the uniqueness of the underworld in which John Wick exists, \u201cthe lore is open and you can manipulate it any way you choose\u201d, something that allows for inspiration\u00a0and new ideas.<\/p>\n

Listen now to my interview with MARK STOECKINGER as he brings the sound design and editing for the world of JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2 to life.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Mark-Stoeckinger-1-1-sound-JOHN-WICK-2-EDITED.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

With JOHN WICK, a specific world was created; a world in which everything is distinctive, specific, exacting, yet a world in which anything can happen. The sonic elements created for that world became a requisite ground zero or starting point for JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 2. Speaking at length with Stoeckinger, he explained that with JW2, the basic sonic world of JW is intact but expanded upon and none of which could have been done without the team at Formosa Group. \u00a0Here’s just a sampling of what you’ll hear Mark talk about in our interview:<\/p>\n
