In "This Extraordinary Being," the sixth episode of the HBO limited series, Angela Abar (Regina King) overdoses on Nostalgia, a drug that allows her to experience her grandfather Will Reeves’ memories. The sound team was tasked with blending Angela and young Will’s (Jovan Adepo) perspectives during the episode, which reveals the origin story of Will’s alter ego, Hooded Justice.
"[As] she’s starting to OD, the sounds of Angela’s world and Will’s world are starting to swim together," supervising sound editor Brad North explains. "We see her going down the rabbit hole and we start messing around with ... dialogue, making it all swimmy, and then all of a sudden we start hearing little bits and pieces of Will’s memories." The effect added tension as Angela experiences Will’s memories, almost in real time. "We just have all the stuff building up and building up on Angela, and then everything starts going away as the drum roll starts up when Will’s onstage and he’s [inducted into] the police department."
Aiding the transition to Will’s perspective was a "sweet and somber" cue from composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. North adds that as the music starts to change, the sound editors reduced the ambient sound. "We still hear the flash pops from the cameras, but the music kind of takes over right there," he says.
The sequence was shot in long takes, which North admits allowed for creative sound opportunities. "We tried to use production [sound] as much as possible, but there were times we had to use ADR [automated dialog replacement]," he says, citing as an example the scene in a club, focusing on dialogue between Will and his wife, June. "You can hear the band playing in the background. ... As they get deeper into the conversation, Will has a flashback to Tulsa as a little boy. We hit that flashback, we cut back to them sitting at the table, but [then] you don’t hear any of the world around them."
