Andy Snavley of Bendy:Music joins the Warner Brothers post production crew as music scoring mixer and music editor for the upcoming documentary feature film, “The 11th Hour”.

Los Angeles, Calif., March 1, 2007 – Andy Snavley, principle creative and owner of music, sound design, and mixing shop 'Bendy', completes sound effects for his most recent foray into the feature film world. "Mr. Brooks" (© 2007 MGM) is the story of Earl Brooks (played by Academy Award winner, Kevin Costner), a loving family man and a local business icon. But Mr. Brooks is deeply flawed and very aware of it. He is addicted to killing. Struggling with his pathology, he tries to quit, but his alter-ego, “Marshall” (played by Academy Award winner, William Hurt), has an altogether different idea. “Marshall” enjoys his “existence” and his “work.”
 
"Working on features is very different from working on commercials or television, the scale of the projects are massive in comparison, and the playback systems have totally different characteristics, but I find that beyond the technical differences the creative process is surprisingly similar. The sound design must be appropriate and tell the story, the sound effects and music must blend and not compete, and the dialog must be heard at all times no matter if you are mixing for TV, radio, cellphones, or film. Each format has its own limitations and abilities.", says Snavley. 
 
Snavley, who began his career in sound in 1992 at the now defunct film sound company Soundstorm, came to advertising in 1994 when he joined bi-coastal tomandandy and later Chris Bell and Company (CB+Co.) as a composer, sound designer, engineer. He has always maintained his roots in film however, having completed several independent projects.
 
"One of the reasons we launched Bendy in 2004 was to expand our collaborative approach beyond advertising into different mediums." says Andy. Since Bendy's inception Snavley has become very active in film, television and radio as a Sound Designer and Mixing Engineer. For "Mr. Brooks" Snavley joined forces with Hollywood Global Pictures based in Hollywood California. 
 
Snavley's other recent film work includes: Mars Callahan's "What Love Is" staring Cuba Gooding Jr., Matthew Lillard, and others; "Splinter" with Tom Sizemore and Edward James Olmos; and the documentary "Mario's Story".
 
"Mr. Brooks" opens in theatres June 1st.

Bendy provides complete post production sound package for Michael Olmos’s new Dark Horse Indie feature “Splinter” starring Tom Sizemore, Edward James Olmos and Resmine Atis. Supervising Sound Editor / Engineer Andy Snavley enlisted the help of Bendy’s own music editor Dean Menta, and sound editor Kathleen Edwards of Hear Kitty, Inc. Post picture finishing and digital intermediate by the talented folks at FilmworksFX.
 
Synopsis: On the mean streets of LA, two gangsters - - Dreamer (Almeida) and Dusty (Noel G.) - - unite over the mysterious murder of their brother. Dreamer, with the bullet that killed his brother still lodged in his skull, is desperately seeking revenge when he crosses paths with Detective Gramm (Atis), a confident rookie cop partnered with corrupt veteran Cunningham (Sizemore). Amidst a rising body count, an ineffective Captain (Olmos), and the threat of an all-out gang war, the four characters lock themselves in a ruthless endgame as they discover who among them is creating the brutal chaos.
 
Recalls Snavley, “Initially our primary focus was in restoring some particularly rough dialog scenes. We used some of the latest background noise and rumble reduction tools, and notch filters. Surprisingly little ADR was required. With a clean dialog edit we were able to then shift our focus to sound design. Obviously this is an action movie, so there needed to be the requisite big sounds of gunfire and impacts. But there was also a strong dreamy thematic element, so at times we shifted from the huge sounds to some deeply disturbing drones and ghostly echos. It was a pleasure working with Michael, he is a truly gifted director.”
