Dave McMoyler's versatility as a supervising sound editor was developed
in part by his early career as a writer, editor and producer of
documentary films. He developed a keen ear for unique sound design
while enrolled in film studies at Humboldt State University - leading
him exclusively into the field of sound supervision in 1985. Whether
shooting ADR, running Foley sessions, field-recording or creating
specially designed sound elements, Dave maintains a high level of
creative and technical performance that typifies a "hands on" approach
to sound supervision. Dave's credits encompass a remarkable spectrum of
films, including The Mask of Zorro, The Sixth Man, Homeward Bound, The
Crow, Immortal Beloved and The Scarlet Letter. His contributions to the
following films helped them acquire several prestigious awards and
nominations: Cliffhanger (Academy Award nomination), JFK (British
Academy Award, Academy Award nomination and Golden Reel Award
nomination) and The Last of the Mohicans (Academy Award, Golden Reel
Award nomination and British Academy Award nomination). Most recently,
Dave has been nominated for an Academy Award for 'Best Sound Effects
Editing' in recognition of his outstanding work as supervising sound
editor on The Mask of Zorro.
