Panelists*:
David Butler's career in sound started at Syracuse University where he recorded a 40-minute thesis film he produced for a friend, converted an empty room at the Newhouse School for Public Communications into an ADR and foley stage, and spent 10-12 overnight shifts, editing and mixing the film for his sound class. David received a D on the project and never looked back.
After six years working as a dialogue editor, David leaped as Supervising Dialogue Editor on Michael Mann's "Miami Vice" when the Dialogue/ADR Supervisor abruptly quit and his more experienced colleagues didn't want the promotion. His first film as Dialogue/ADR Supervisor was Warren Beatty's "Rules Do Not Apply," where he ran several ADR sessions while sitting on the floor in a cramped office (because there was no room for another chair).
David's other credits include "Alien: Romulus," "The Batman," "Argo," "Space Jam: A New Legacy," and "Sonic the Hedgehog. "
