Enough about us. Now you talk about us. Here are snippets of snippets that Jane and the team have received.

 
"One compelling reason for me to make a shift from still imagery to the moving frame was the added benefit of the dimension of sound and I was so fortunate that Tattersall Sound & Picture came aboard in making that shift a credible reality. Jane, Lou and David (and their support team) gave my feature film COOKING WITH STELLA a depth and resonance that previously I thought would have been unimaginable. COOKING WITH STELLA was shot entirely on location in New Delhi, India, and had presented nightmares to our sound crew. But from the moment I was cocooned in the Tattersall studios (with the incredible aroma of Italian food wafting through) I knew I had come home. The sensitivity ans mastery with which the trio shaped my directorial debut was breathtaking. Not once, never, did they indicate that our raw material had presented a struggle - they were, they are, and they will remain professionals with a heart.
—Dilip Mehta, "Cooking With Stella".
 
 
"I have been trying to work with Tattersal for years, but for a variety of conspiratorial reasons it has never worked out until "Cooking with Stella" Whereas before I was only imagining how good it might be to work with Jane and her partners; now I have experienced the professionalism, passion, and relentless pursuit of perfection which is the touchstone of their operating style. I am afraid I am totally addicted and can no longer imagine working with anyone else."
—David Hamilton, “Cooking With Stella”.
 
 
"Jane (Tattersall) is head and shoulders the best Sound Editor."
—Paul Gross, Director, Whizbang Films.
 
 
"I was knocked out by Jane's creative energy, dedication, and her vision of what a soundtrack can offer up in terms of making a film dramatically better."
—David Yates, Director, "Sex Traffic".
 
 
“Lou Solakofski, Jane Tattersall and David McCallum create an incredibly nurturing and supportive environment for film-makers. Working within the very safe and creative space they provided, was my favourite part of making my first film.”
—Sarah Polley, Director, “Away From Her”.
 
 
“Jane Tattersall is professional, creative, collaborative and was infinitely patient…carefully balancing her inspired creative plans with the director’s own vision…my first and only choice for sound editing.”
—Bill Phillips, Director, “Foolproof”.
 
 
“They made it a point to understand what I wanted from the sound design and then delivered in ways that completely exceeded my expectations.”
—Michael McGowan, Director.
 
 
"His (Dave Rose) technical prowess coupled with his interpretive skills always makes your program better…..But, the most important thing for any producer to know is that with Dave (Rose) on the job, sound is one thing you will not have to worry about."
—Peter Gentile, “Mob Stories”.
 
 
“Having David (McCallum) on board for re-recording dialogue was especially helpful, a fact appreciated by myself, but perhaps more importantly, by the actors whom he so warmly received into his suite.”
—Scott Smith, Director.
 
 
“They (Jane Tattersall, Lou Solakofski, David McCallum) work well with producers and directors at various budget levels to ensure that the project is completed on time and on budget. They are creative problem solvers and have a passion for every job. These qualities, combined with their extensive expertise ensures that every project has the best and highest quality sound edit and mix possible. I always look forward to my next film with them."
—Simone Urdl, Producer, The Film Farm.
 
 
“They try harder than anyone I know to maximize the film’s opportunities for success with an audience – they truly care about this outcome.”
—Tim Southam, Director.
 
 
“Steph Carrier did an amazing job, and without talking about it he totally picked up on what I was trying to do with the film…”
—Andrea Gutsche, Director.
 
 
“Kirk Lynd's attention to detail and creative energy was especially amazing.”
—Phiilip Barke, Director, “Night Vision”.
 
 
“For many years I have been making music documentary and performance films that are as reliant on sensitivity to sound as they are to picture. Since 1993 I started working with Jane Tattersall and her team and have never looked back. I admire each of them greatly and rely on them entirely. Tattersall's team of effects, dialogue, and music editors - her associated foley artists and superb mixers (re-recording engineers) are not only unsurpassed in Canada - I have learned that they are among the best in the world at what they do. I have even had the very pleasant experience of bringing Jane, David McCallum and Lou Solakofski to Amsterdam to oversee the sound post on a major music film project with the legendary Philips Records after it was determined that Tattersall's standard surpassed sound teams that we had found in Europe. In addition to the Tattersall editors, recordists, artists and engineers being superb technically, and being artists in their own right - perhaps most significant to the filmmaker, they are an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout the process of sound post production. When so many stages of film feel like a compromise of the original vision, the Tattersall team's work only enhances, and improves the project. In fact they make the film and filmmaker seem that much better, from which personally I have greatly benefited! And I feel constantly indebted to them for that. Lou Solakofski has been the chief mixer of a good dozen of my films over as many years. He is a rare combination of technical expertise, artistic sensitivity and human warmth. He gives the filmmaker a sense of confidence in the potentialities of this critical stage of post - a stage which, I believe, can make or break one's film. Personally, I can't stand missing a moment of the mixing process with Lou because I enjoy witnessing his artistic process - a process which is not unlike that of the subjects of my films - some of the greatest composers and musicians in the world. I can't recommend Lou and his talented mixing team enough to the first time filmmaker through to the most experienced filmmakers.”
— Larry Weinstein, Rhombus Media Inc.
 
 
Silent Hill:Perhaps the most involved and internationally difficult production, the Tattersall crew worked alongside French sound designers and editors to fashion together one of the most monumental sound scapes in Canadian Film history. Lou Solakofski and Todd Beckett teamed up to create the soundtrack of Silent Hill-a world like no other! Simply Bizarre!
—Gregor Hutchison, Post Production Supervisor, "Silent Hill".
