'13'- Shahid's Project.

Shahid came to me the other day and asked me to work on his three screen installation. I am really looking to expand my skills in sound design for my career as much as I can, so I said yes. So, Shahid told me what his project was about, which is (in terms of sound design) a robotic arm and some organic sounds mixed in there. Shahid showed me some reference material, the opening scene from 'Blade Runner':

He said he wanted something that resembled the rumbling underneath this scene to run through the whole of his piece.

And the arm cutting scene from Terminator II which shows the organic noises he is after:

I mocked up something quite quickly for him, and he said he really like the rumble underneath, and that it was exactly what he was looking for.Which is a good start! He also said he really liked the mix of organic sounds, but that the the robotic noises were too modern and harsh (The video is in the next post) and that when he has more animation I should make it more steampunk like.
