Managing Partners Harry Snodgrass
Harry brings over 25 years of audio experience to BeepTone.
Harry is known as a top Mixer, Sound Supervisor and Sound
Designer – with numerous award nominations for mixing and was
awarded an Emmy for his work on "Flight 93" for A&E.
Prior to BeepTone, Harry’s career in the Hollywood film and
music industry began while working at 20th Century Fox in 1988 in
the Music and Scoring department where he worked in numerous
capacities from archivist to scoring mixer.
Harry was one of the first sound editors to implement the use
of electronic editing in sound via the use of an early audio editing
system called Hybrid Arts ADAP.
Seeing the potential of this kind of equipment and
technology, he immediately saw the significance of audio and
technology company Digidesign and immediately became one of their
first Beta-testers and developers in Hollywood.
For many years, Harry worked with Digi to tune their hardware
and software to the needs of musicians, sound editors and mixers.
Harry, along with a small group of other industry leaders
opened the door for Digidesign in Hollywood by having Digidesign’s
then “new-fangled” technology adopted by Fox and then shortly
thereafter, by Universal Studios.
At the same time a few key recording studios also jumped on
board and the future was set.
While at Fox, Harry was a sound supervisor, designer, and mixer for
many 20th Century Fox films including; PREDATOR 2 (Joel Silver),
ALIENS 3 (David Fincher), ROBIN HOOD – MEN IN TIGHTS (Mel Brooks),
BEVERLY HILLBILLIES (Penelope Spheeris) and HOT SHOTS - PART DEUX
(Jim Abrahms). Harry
also created sound for the pilot of the SIMPSONS during his work on
the TRACEY ULLMAN SHOW.
As Manager of Music Editorial, he archived the entire music library
for the studio and helped save the immense music and sound effects
library, which was deteriorating due to vinegar syndrome.
These vital transfers of eighty years of music to digital
format inspired Harry’s work today in his sound restoration of
classic films. Additionally at Fox, Harry established his own
post-production company on the 20th Century Fox lot, Visiontrax.
This provided his first taste of building and managing a company as
well as the opportunity to more effectively steer a team of people
to create great work, on time and on budget.
