Joe Beal (2012) and Abbie Shaw (2021) were part of Boom Posts sound team who were winners of Best Sound: Fiction for Slow Horses. Joe was supervising sound editor and Abbie, dialogue editor.泭泭
Abbie says: I really didnt expect to win. I havent been in the industry very long, and it feels like Ive only just left 做厙TV.泭Going to the ceremony and winning the award was exciting as well as rewarding and validating.泭
For Joe it was his second BAFTA for Slow Horses with Boom Post泭winning the same category in 2024. He says: Winning the BAFTA for a second year was a big shock. We were up against incredibly stiff competition, House of Dragon, True Detective and Baby Reindeer, all really successful shows with interesting soundtracks. So, we were really thrilled to win again. Its great to be recognised by your peers and lovely for everyone on the team. Joe had also won a BAFTA in 2020 for his work with Boom Post on Chernobyl (Sky)泭
Joe and Abbie are two of five Sound Technology graduates that work at Boom Post. We caught up with both of them after the ceremony. 泭
