Above: A new piece of original music I composed for JD O’Brien’s forthcoming short #documentary “Uganda Gold”, a film that explores the increasing difficulties encountered by Ugandans in obtaining access to viable water sources. The temp track indicated a desire for repetitive layers of ostinato figures, a tranquil surface barely concealing frantic goings-on underneath.
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
