Ambient Sound

I'd like to take a moment to draw your attention to the sound design of the film. We don't get to post as much about the sound but as you can probably tell from the rest of the film, it's an important part of what we're doing.

One particular part is the ambient sound that plays under the film at all time shaping the tone of scenes. Our fantastic sound guru, Alan Barnes, has a great talent for stitching together sounds from all avenue of creation to paint a picturesque sound scape.

This is only the beginning of sound creation/mastering for the film but I hope you enjoyed an insight into the often fascinating art form of ambient sound and film scoring!
