I asked Hollie how much artistic freedom she was given when working for Tv/Film and games. Her answer was that it depended on the specific project and varied from job to job. Some jobs are more collaborative with sound designers and directors, while other times she might have more creative control herself.
This is helpful as I am somewhat interested in sound for tv/film and game and so it’s good to get a better understanding on how it works.
