It’s John Wick, so the sound design for the trailer had to be relentless. The goal was to match the film’s high-octane energy—packed into a tight format with something loud, layered, and intentionally not clean.

Elegant Chaos: Polished but Savage
The trailer is all about relentless action, stylized violence and emotional intensity (never mess with the man’s dog). It’s a world of assassins, gun-fu chaos, and a brutal code of honor. The sound had to match that energy.
The recipe for this was a proper sound sandwich. My process involved building custom gunshot sounds on top of modular synths, software synth layers, and some pretty wild Radium patch stacks for texture. A really fun project that was all about creating stylized chaos with sound.
Messy? Definitely. Fun? Absolutely

I handled this concoction of sound design and music for this trailer. The film follows a dissatisfied couple who concoct a daring heist while stuck in lockdown, which was a great opportunity to experiment with a different kind of score.
