Positioned as the lead Sound Designer/Mixer I built this post-apocalyptic world where a man only has these photographs of the past to keep him company.
This was a challenging project for me because unlike mixes I've done in the past this short film is quite barren with minimal movement and limited environment. Creating a world where nothing really exists anymore, everything just being dead, was difficult without it sounding like you were just in this huge vacuum.
I played a lot with layering and found that phasing sounds were a great way to make the world sound suffocating and bleak while introducing something with movement and interest.
The transitions between the guy coming in and out of the photograph was also fun. Being able to create two completely different worlds in one short film was really interesting and tested a lot of my mixing/designing skills.
As a disclaimer, I wasn't able to embed the video due to privacy reasons. The director/animator is currently fixing up a few things with this short film so, there is limited access to the film.
