Sound Design, Audio Post, Mix

As the book unfolds, we enter into a battlefield with horses, soldiers and their weapons coming to life in an immersive CGI film commissioned by Sotheby’s for its project “First Look”.

Sounds of Fury: Crafting the Audio for an Animated Battle

Music in Harmony: The sound design seamlessly complements the provided music track, creating a unified soundscape for the animated battle scenes.
Tension on the Battlefield: Every element builds on the atmosphere of tension and hostility.
- Echoes of Traditional Warfare: The sounds of single-fire rifles, heavy cannons, and charging horses evoke the brutality of older battlefields.
- Horns and Shouting Men: The urgent blares of horns and the fierce shouts of warriors further heighten the intensity of the fight.
A Touch of Brilliance: A subtle notch filter sweep at 23 seconds adds a unique sonic touch. This controlled rush of frequency changes builds anticipation towards the dramatic impact and subsequent calm break at 24 seconds.
The Battle Rages On: Following this brief respite, the main battle erupts and escalates in intensity, drawing viewers deeper into the heart of the conflict.
