Fun article! It starts off OK, but then you get stuff like this:
=====
"The Fury Road story reminded me of Moby-Dick. The War Rig is the great whale and Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) is Ahab. We used that as a metaphor – Joe being this crazed captain with the intent on killing the War Rig at all costs. And that propelled all sorts of different sound motifs from a visualization standpoint to the sound work."
When the War Rig was attacked by the War Boys, Polecats or Buzzards, whale sounds were laced into the mix. "When you'd see a harpoon skewer the War Rig's tanker, we'd sweeten it with hump back whales moaning and growling. When liquid would burst from the truck, we would have a whale's blowhole shooting off," explained Mangini.
=====
And nice bit about actual collaboration with the composer.

> Great article on the work my brother did with Scott Hecker as sound designers on Mad Max: Fury Road. Interesting bit at the end on how the audience numbers in screenings went up measurably after improving the mix. http://www.btlnews.com/awards/contenders-sound-editors-mark-mangini-and-scott-hecker-mad-max-fury-road/
