E ver wondered what goes into crafting the perfect needle-drop moment? Lucy Bright, a music supervisor whose CV includes The Iron Claw , Aftersun and Tár , gives us a peek inside the process in this issue. Find out how she approaches the alchemy of music and moving image – while navigating the maze of rights clearance – on page 54. We also reflect on this year’s IBC Show, which as always, was a gold mine of new tech, tools and lively discussion around what the future holds for the M&E sector. Flip to page 64 for our top discoveries from the show floor and key takeaways from the talks. In Take Two, we revisit A Nightmare on Elm Street – a horror classic that still haunts audiences nearly 40 years on. Join us as we dive into the ingenious practical effects (featuring 500 gallons of fake blood and some unruly centipedes) that defined the film, offering a testament to what can be achieved when even a modest budget meets a brilliantly creative team. Our cover star this month is Wicked , whose cinematographer Alice Brooks shares the creative journey and collaborative effort that turned the stage sensation into a cinematic feast. There’s also BTS action from Horizon: An American Saga – the first instalment of Kevin Costner’s epic western series – and Going Greenland , a short film shot in the Arctic that aimed to be as eco-friendly as possible. Plus, we delve into Time Bandits , where cutting-edge VFX and virtual production blended seamlessly to create its unique world. You can also discover how to tap into VP to reduce the environmental impact of your next production, read expert insights on the future of broadcast tech, get tips on lighting subaquatic scenes and more. Enjoy the issue and see you next month!
