It was up to supervising sound editors Will Files and Matt Yocum and dialogue and Adr supervisor Eliza Zebert to build the soundscape for Korean War-set “Devotion,” a story that centers on the friendship between Jesse Brown (Jonathan Majors) the first Black aviator in U.S. Navy history, and fellow fighter pilot Tom Hudner (Glen Powell).
Yocum, an alumnus of Savannah College of Art and Design, was able to record a real 1950 F4U Corsair, making it period-correct. “It was important for us to get authentic sound to feel the weight and visceral quality of these aircraft, because, at the end of the day, they are characters in the film that had to be brought to life and participate in the story with Tom Hudner, Jesse Brown and the other pilots,” he says.
To collect the sounds, Yocum flew to the Erickson Aircraft Collection in Oregon with friend and fellow sound expert Kai Paquin.

Eliza Pollack Zebert, supervising Adr and dialogue editor on “Eurovision,” says the L.A.-based team ran remote recording sessions. At times, they even had actors in entirely different countries, with lead Rachel McAdams in Atlanta and her singing stand-in Molly Sanden in Sweden.
While all watching the same playback, the post-production team coached the pair through re-recording the lines and songs as exactingly as possible to match the syllables and intonations from McAdams’ original take.
Later, the team scrupulously plugged in the dialogue while editing fractions of a frame at a time, digitally stretching and...
