During this time\, he has worked on 48 films directed by some of the industry’s best\, including Gore Verbinski\, James Cameron\, Steven Spielberg\, Chloé Zhao\, Sam Raimi\, and James Gunn. Addison moved to Los Angeles in 1995 to attend USC Film School and pursue a childhood interest in filmmaking. At USC he received the Mary Pickford Sound Scholarship and worked as the Teaching Assistant for Tomlinson Holman (inventor of THX for Lucasfilm) while falling in love with the art of cinematic sound. In 2000\, Addison began his professional career at George Lucas’s world-renowned Skywalker Sound in Northern California. Over the next 7 years\, he would edit sound effects on 19 films\, including The Ring\, Munich\, and Lord of the Rings. Missing the collaborative filmmaking experiences from film school\, Addison realized a dream to work as an embedded sound effects editor in the picture editorial department for Disney’s first Pirates of the Caribbean film\, The Curse of the Black Pearl. Proximity to the director and picture editors allowed him to help build the sound track in coordination with the early picture editing phase\, which was not necessarily common in 2003 post production. Building on this workflow\, he permanently relocated to Los Angeles in 2007 to work in Jim Cameron’s home for three years on the first Avatar\, for which he earned a British Academy Award nomination. Staying in Los Angeles\, Addison has continued to work as an embedded Skywalker sound designer\, overseeing films including Tron Legacy (earning him a Best Sound Editing Academy Award nomination)\, Rango and Zootopia (both films winning the Best Animated Feature Oscar)\, and many Marvel films including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Between supervising the sound on motion pictures\, Addison still enjoys cutting sound effects on memorable film sequences\, such as the car race sequence in Spielberg’s Ready Player One\, and R2-D2 and C-3PO’s final cinematic bow in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Returning to the world of Tron 14 years after working on Tron Legacy has been a career highlight for Addison\, working for a year on the Disney studio lot and collaborating with director Joachim Rønning\, VFX supervisor David Seager\, picture editor Tyler Nelson\, and composers Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross of NIN.
