A very lazy Sunday with Myrtl. I think she knows I’m leaving soon and she wants to spend as much time as possible with me today.

We spent a whole day tracking lions and when we found them, we decided to stick around so we could record their calls. Somehow we picked the laziest ones around, because they slept a lot, yawned and stretched but did not make one sound until nightfall. When they finally did roar, it was magnificent

Stijn Demeulenaere after a particularly grueling day in the field - Sumatra, 2023. That expedition was one of the most challenging we've been on, but the sounds we captured in those rainforests are worth all the effort, sweat, insect bites, disease etc.

Well deserved BAFTA sound win for Dune Part Two! The film does sound as stunning as it looks, if I can say so myself.
