Sound Design by PopMark Media's Studio Unknown for "Lovely Molly" Receives Praise

Eduardo Sanchez film debuting at Toronto Film Festival features sound by Catonsville, MD Facility.

2011-09-19

CATONSVILLE, MD, September 19, 2011 (Press-News.org) The sound design of the feature film, "Lovely Molly" (Amber Entertainment, Haxan Films), which debuted at the Toronto Film Festival on Wednesday, September 14th, is receiving high praise from industry bloggers. PopMark Media's Sound Division, Studio Unknown, was responsible for the full sound design package of the film.

Directed by Eduardo Sanchez, known for his 1999 horror, "The Blair Witch Project," "Lovely Molly" centers on a troubled young woman and the evil power that exists inside her. The film relies heavily on sound for story support.

"Without taking anything away from Lodge's performance, the sound design truly IS the movie; it's trickled with creepy hoof stomps and horse snorts throughout," touts horror blog, Bloody Disgusting. Twitch Film called the sound mix "strong and aggressive."

Sound design on the film, which was managed by Kevin Hill, along with Matt Davies and Dave West, included location and in-house Foley, sound effects editing, ambient sound, voice effects, and mixing. To create authenticity, Hill and Davies traveled to the Hagerstown house and adjacent barn in which the film was shot to capture footsteps, creaky floors, and horse snorts and hoof steps, which play a critical role in the storyline.

"The supernatural traces of evil throughout the film provided us with a unique opportunity to blend some of the sounds we captured on location with sounds we were able to create at the studio," explains Hill.

The film also includes two pieces of music written by PopMark's Lisa Horan and Stephen Joseph Antonelli.

Unknown ocean bacteria create entirely new theories

2011-09-19

The earth's most successful bacteria are found in the oceans and belong to the group SAR11. In a new study, researchers from Uppsala University provide an explanation for their success and at the same time call into question generally accepted theories about these bacteria. In their analysis they have also identified a rare and hitherto unknown relative of mitochondria, the power stations inside cells.The findings were published in two articles in the journals Molecular Biology and Evolution and PLoS One in the last week. "The huge amounts of DNA information now being ...

Genetics may explain why calcium increases risk for prostate cancer

2011-09-19

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Sept. 16, 2011 – A study by epidemiologists at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and colleagues suggests that a high intake of calcium causes prostate cancer among African-American men who are genetically good absorbers of the mineral. "High dietary intake of calcium has long been linked to prostate cancer but the explanation for this observation has been elusive," said Gary G. Schwartz, Ph.D., associate professor of cancer biology, urology, and public health sciences at Wake Forest Baptist and co-author on the study. Schwartz and colleagues ...

Virus a potential future cancer medicine

2011-09-19

In a new project, researchers from LIFE – the Faculty of Life Sciences at the University of Copenhagen – document that the vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) plays a previously unknown dual role in the prevention of a number of cancers. The new findings show that the virus both kills cancer cells and stops the expression of the molecules which certain types of cancer cells produce to hide from the immune system. Certain types of cancer cells express far too many liquid immunostimulatory molecules, blocking the immune system's ability to recognise them, and enabling them ...

MRI research demonstrates ALS attacks multiple parts of the brain

2011-09-19

Recently published studies by a researcher in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry demonstrate that ALS – known as Lou Gehrig's disease – damages neurons in parts of the brain responsible for cognition and behaviour. ALS, which stands for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is a fatal neurodegenerative disease that eventually leaves patients unable to move, breathe or swallow. Previous research has shown about 50 per cent of patients with ALS also have mild cognitive and behavioural changes, but between five and 15 per cent of patients can have severe changes resulting in dementia. ...

Researchers identify potential molecular target to prevent growth of cancer cells

2011-09-19

GALVESTON, September 16, 2011 – Researchers have shown for the first time that the protein fortilin promotes growth of cancer cells by binding to and rendering inert protein p53, a known tumor suppressor. This finding by researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch may lead to treatments for a range of cancers and atherosclerosis, which p53 also helps prevent, and appears in the current print issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. "The p53 protein is a critical defense against cancer because it activates genes that induce apoptosis, or the death of cells. ...

Are genes our destiny?

2011-09-19

LA JOLLA, CA -- A "hidden" code linked to the DNA of plants allows them to develop and pass down new biological traits far more rapidly than previously thought, according to the findings of a groundbreaking study by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. The study, published today in the journal Science, provides the first evidence that an organism's "epigenetic" code - an extra layer of biochemical instructions in DNA - can evolve more quickly than the genetic code and can strongly influence biological traits. While the study was limited to a single ...

Scab resistance in durum wheat

2011-09-19

MADISON, WI, SEPTEMBER 16, 2011 -- Durum wheat is a valuable cereal crop widely used for human consumption in the United States, Canada, and several European countries. Scab or Fusarium head blight is one of the crop's most serious diseases, reducing its grain yield and quality. Current durum cultivars don't have resistance to this widespread disease. While working on the Durum Germplasm Enhancement Project (DGE), Dr. Prem Jauhar and staff at the USDA-ARS Northern Crop Research Laboratory, Fargo, ND discovered that a diploid wheatgrass contains the genes needed for scab ...

Balloon-based experiment to measure gamma rays 6,500 light years distant

2011-09-19

DURHAM, N.H. – Beginning Sunday, September 18, 2011 at NASA's launch facility in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, space scientists from the University of New Hampshire will attempt to send a balloon up to 130,000 feet with a one-ton instrument payload to measure gamma rays from the Crab Pulsar, the remains of a supernova explosion that lies 6,500 light years from Earth. The launch is highly dependent on weather and wind conditions, and the launch window closes at the end of next week. The Gamma Ray Polarimeter Experiment (GRAPE), which was designed and built at the Space Science ...

Breeding soybeans for improved feed

2011-09-19

MADISON, WI, SEPTMEBER 12, 2011 -- Modifying soybean seed to increase phosphorus content can improve animal nutrition and reduce feed costs and nutrient pollution. However, further research is needed to commercialize this valuable technology. Knowledge of soybean and other crops such as maize suggest that reducing phytate, the principle storage form of phosphorus in plant tissue, in seeds reduces seed germination and emergence of seedlings in the field. In soybean, however, researchers debate whether this problem exists, and suggest that other factors may be the cause. New ...

Lasers could be used to detect roadside bombs

2011-09-19

EAST LANSING, Mich. — A research team at Michigan State University has developed a laser that could detect roadside bombs – the deadliest enemy weapon encountered in Iraq and Afghanistan. The laser, which has comparable output to a simple presentation pointer, potentially has the sensitivity and selectivity to canvas large areas and detect improvised explosive devices – weapons that account for around 60 percent of coalition soldiers' deaths. Marcos Dantus, chemistry professor and founder of BioPhotonic Solutions, led the team and has published the results in the current ...
