Jan Brueghel’s Stormy Seas

Role:
Sound Design, Audio Post, Mix

Immerse yourself in Jan Brueghel the Elder’s dramatic depiction of Jonah being cast overboard. CGI animation combines with a reading from the Bible story Jonah and the Whale to bring the story to life and reveal why one of Brueghel’s earliest works was so pioneering in the 17th century.

Sound design to complement the supplied music track and voice over. The main event of the painting coming to life is in an epic storm. It was all hands on deck to create the ferocious impact of rough seas; heavy rain, lightning, crowds of people crowding around and more subtle beach ambiences.

The end effect is to create the audio excitement the scenes require to complement the amazing moody visuals.
