ABOUT

How does surprise feel? Imagine it now. Intensified feelings of ‘what’ and of ‘wow’!

I provided Sound Design for this gorgeous film, which beautifully depicts the feelings and emotions occurring in moments of Surprise.

This was very challenging indeed, as you will notice, all Sound Design elements overlap, and contribute to both the preceding and succeeding shots, creating a 'woven patchwork' in the narrative. The Sound Design had to be very subtle - yet still present enough to immerse the viewer - the poem definitely needed to take centre stage. Not to mention that the whole piece is shot in super Slo-Mo!!!

The interwoven nature of the Audio Effects meant that Sound selection and it’s subsequent treatment had to be very carefully considered. You’ll notice how the Sound Effects seamlessly blend into one another, for example the dirt under the bicycle tyres which turns into the sparkler, becoming into the rain, which links into the babbling brook, which then somehow seamlessly morphs into applause at the lady’s birthday celebration. I am very proud of the subtlety and nuance I have created in this piece, culminating in a heightened sense of emotion and involvement in the overall narrative.
