My job on this one was sound design, but it ended up being more like stitching everything into one breathing organism. The music, effects, and dialogue needed to feel glued together, almost like they came from the same source. There’s nothing flashy or experimental about it, just a lot of small details that make the whole thing feel tight.
This trailer is a good example of when sound design and music stop being two separate things. The ticking, the breathing, the weird stretched sounds — they blend into the score until you can’t tell where one ends and the other begins. That’s the part I enjoy: taking simple elements and shaping them so they feel natural and inevitable.
It wasn’t about showing off. It was about helping the tension build without calling attention to the sound work. Just a slow, uncomfortable feeling of time slipping away. Sometimes you don’t need a giant boom or crazy synth monster. Sometimes a little breath in the wrong place does more damage.
