Matinee Idyll - Phil Judd

On this page: Phil Judd musician - links | Phil Judd engineer - links | notes

There are two people with the name 'Phil Judd' who appear in movie credits. I've written this page with the aim of clarifying who's who.

I understand that any credit for sound/recording/mixer is not Phil Judd, formerly of Split Enz, but for someone else with the same name - a sound engineer living in Australia. The Internet Movie Database has two listings Phil Judd (I) (actor, composer, other crew member) and Phil Judd (II) (sound department member).

Notes

Starstruck has Phil Judd as sound recordist and actor!!

Strictly Ballroom - the flashback sequence is reminiscent of early Split Enz videos.

Thanks Theresa for telling me about the Connections article.

*The Split Enz name changes are listed on p79 of Stranger Than Fiction.

In 1975 most of the members of Split Enz began using their middle names instead of their first names:-

Brian Finn became Tim Finn
Geoffrey Crombie became Noel Crombie
Tony Rayner became Eddie Rayner
Paul Crowther became Emlyn Crowther
Mike Chunn became Jonathan Chunn
Phil Judd stayed as Phil Judd (his full name is Philip Raymond Judd)
