There are three &#8220;Bake Off&#8217;s&#8221; this week at the Academy. Sound Editors, Visual Effects, and Makeup and Hair Stylists. Many years ago a sound effects editor named Kay Rose came up with the term &#8220;Bake Off&#8221;. It was coined because of the blue ribbon environment in which the best work of the year is judged. Kinda like pies at a state fair. Her daughter&#8217;s name is Victoria Rose Samson, also a sound effects editor, and I happened to take a sound editing class at UCLA that she taught in 1992. She invited us all to the Sound Effects Bake Off, and I&#8217;ve been going ever since. What happens is the Visual Effects Supervisor gets up and talks for 3 minutes, they show 15 minutes of effects from the film, and then the whole team gets up and answers questions for 5 minutes. A big red light comes on when your time is up. After it&#8217;s all over the members of the Visual Effects Society vote for three that will be up for the Academy Award. I&#8217;m going with &#8220;The Two Towers&#8221;, &#8220;Attack of the Clones&#8221;, and &#8220;Minority Report&#8221; as the final three.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both; padding-bottom: 0.25em;\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight&#8217;s the night a bunch of VFX geeks get together and vote who&#8217;s best.
