RECORDING RICKI AND THE FLASH

摘要

Director Jonathan Demme wanted authenticity on his film Ricki and the Flash, which follows an aging rocker played by Meryl Streep. Demme insisted the film's band had to perform live on camera rather than mime to playback. Although Neil Citron, a jack-of-all-trades in the fields of both music and audio, was initially involved in casting Streep's co-star—they picked Rick Springfield— and then teaching Streep to play guitar, the film's producer, Gary Goetzman, put him together with the project's music coordinator, Mark Wolfson, to find a solution to the film's live performance challenges.
