Antoine Fuqua, the director behind Training Day, The Equalizer, The Magnificent Seven and Southpaw among other movie hits, is being recognized Sunday by the Motion Picture Sound Editors, who are giving him their Filmmaker Award at the 66th Mpse Golden Reel Awards.
Ahead of the ceremony, sound editors Mandell Winter and David Esparza, both frequent collaborators with Fuqua, reflected on working with the music video director-turned-filmmaker.
“Antoine uses sound as an important storytelling element, often putting the audience in the middle of the action,” said Winter, who has worked with Fuqua on six films including the upcoming documentary What’s My Name: Mohammed Ali. “He wants clarity in the track, but more than anything, he looks to the emotion of the scene.”
Said Esparza, another member of Fuqua’s regular team: “He loves a rich and detailed track and wants it to have a strong point of view. A dangerous location should sound dangerous.
