What's important for me, within the sound design, is to communicate the vision that I have in sound with the audience. Sound tells a story on its own. You make choices about what the audience is hearing, where they are looking. Images are subjective: by creating an appropriate sound design you can make the audience see these images differently.

I am always trying to get the most realistic and accurate sounds possible. This is very important because if a viewer is not believing what he is hearing, he will be distracted by technique, instead of enjoying the story. Accomplishing this task requires to think of all action on the screen in the context of both its natural sense of audio timing along with its natural scense of visual timing. Considering these two variables together will help make the sounds applied to the film seamless and realistic, and will go a long way towards attaining the authenticity that is so important for the film.
