Hi Derek,

Firstly, my girlfriend is a magician and was in your lecture the other weekend. Thank you for standing up for women and minorities in the magic community. She’s encountered a lot of obstacles and sexism in the community, so it’s awesome to see people stand up against it.

Secondly, when putting together in and of itself, how did you choose how to pair tricks with your stories? Did one often come first, or did they evolve simultaneously?

How do you approach making objects feel immense in size, like giant ships or explosions, without just turning the volume up? Do you worry about headroom and the mix in your design process, or are you more focused on choices and sound creation?

Dont try to get NYC pizza in LA! Go get like Desanos if you're craving so bad. Or instead have some burgers and tacos! NYC burgers are so mediocre compared to SoCal

What software do/did you use to make your music?

Fellow Sound Designer here! What are some of the favorite sound effects you've made or recorded? What was the most unexpected source of a great sound? Favorite plugins or tricks you use?
