VEHICLE NARRATIVE
“Vehicle Narrative Final" was an Advanced Sound Design project I created during Graduate School. I was instructed to find a photo of a Sci-fi vehicle and modify the sound effects in order to make them sound as though it were from that vehicle. In this mix, you will hear my interpretation of the spacecraft in the background while it enters a tunnel, accelerates, slows down, and goes into hyper-speed.
TO MY FATHER
"To My Father" was an Advanced Sound Design project I created during Graduate School. This project focused on developing our ability to create clear, precise recordings of an actor’s voice while using sound to shape the story and create a realistic sense of environment.
During this assignment, I found myself experiencing an overwhelming range of emotions as I approached my graduate school graduation. Having lost my father as a child, milestones of this nature felt bittersweet, filled with excitement while simultaneously filled with a sense of absence, heartbreak and grief.
I wanted this piece to capture those emotions honestly. It was meant to feel sentimental, awkward, and sweet as I stumbled through trying to find the right words, because that struggle was genuine. This is real, vulnerable, and a true depiction of the complicated emotions that accompanied those meaningful milestones.
Thank you for listening.
SOUND TO ANIMATION
"Sound to Animation" was an Advanced Sound Design project I created during Graduate School. I was instructed to choose an animation that was about 1 minute in duration, strip the original sound effects, and create my own. I chose "The Maker" by Zealous Creative and cropped the video to fit within the time constraint of the project. The goal of my sound design for this animation was to give each character a subtle personality difference along with a still environment that really enveloped the interaction between the two characters. The motivation behind the music played by the male character was to create a sense of epic scale and emotional intensity. I chose the sound of a cello or violin to reinforce subtle details within the character’s features and create a stronger connection between the music and his visual identity. This was a fun project that I fell in love with and am so happy to share.
