"ELIXIR" WORK SAMPLE: THE SOUND OF MAGIC AND AN OTHERWORLDLY SCREAM

Above: Another highlight reel peeling away the various layers of Junior Birdman Audio’s ADR (performed by Molly Ryman), Foley, FX, backgrounds and final mix (including an original score by David Gerald Sutton) of a brief passage from Justin Staggs‘ horror/ fantasy short “Elixir”. Breaking this sequence down to its source stems demonstrates how much phrasing can go into even a few seconds of sound design for film. View “Elixir” in its entirety: https://vimeo.com/172981354

LUMINESCENCE: PURE ENERGY

More recent in-progress game audio for the Luminescence project. The world we’re building is one where many things are made of light, so I cut together some cues for energy impacts. You know: energy impacts. Once again, these sounds are sourced entirely from a single analog synth, in keeping with the retro-futurist sensibility. c/o Sailor Snouts out in Portland.

ICE FOLEY

Recently froze a bunch of ice cubes to track some Foley for an ad. The action occurs off camera, so I was able to get creative as to exactly what happens. The pressure was on once the ice was frozen, of course, so I documented as much as I could before it all melted. Eventually I got all granular with the intimate friction of the cubes against each other. By the time I was done, it felt like I didn’t have hands anymore.
