Comment by Dirk Maggs

Adapted by the highly gifted Philip Glassborow. In Peter Pan I tried extremely hard to create ‘camera angles’ so I could cut from shot to shot within scenes. Here in the Lagoon Scene, I recorded the actors from three ‘camera angles’ - one with Hook and the pirates on the island in the lagoon, one with Peter and Wendy spying on them from the waterfall overhead, and one ‘long shot’ overlooking the whole scene.

No pun intended, but in the Lagoon Scene there’s a yell from Hook ‘Pan!’ that we ‘panned’ more onto the surround channels than the front channels. This is risky in Dolby Surround because mono listeners will lose surround information, but I wanted to get a feeling that Hook’s voice was echoing all around the lagoon ...

What Others have said

“...spoken word is much more than an inferior way of experiencing books. A producer such as Dirk Maggs (Spiderman, Peter Pan) uses surround-sound and special effects as an artist uses a palette.”

CHRISTINA HARDYMENT New Statesman, October 1997
