ABOUT

I'm currently working on this project, but the video was presented to me with no audio. I have been asked to create all the SFX for this cut scene. The client (my University) asked that we focus on the sword break scene to create a dramatic effect that could be presented to an E3 style event and generate interest in the project or wow the audience. Everything you hear from the ambience to the V/O work (grunts and breath) in this project has been produced by me. I started by spotting key moments and creating markers in my DAW. I also mapped out SMPTE times and potential ideas on paper to keep track of what I wanted in each section. I then used a process of stock effects from my sample library and recording techniques to produce the required sounds. For instance, I recorded the ambience in the woods near my house and I recorded the grass footsteps in the same locality. I'm currently working on more effects for this piece, such as a more dramatic sound as the mask is thrown down the well and the overall mix.
