From my philosophy behind the choices I make to the actual act of finding the right sounds for the piece.

We often neglect the sense of hearing when working with a primarily visual medium. After watching this video, that should no longer be the case!

It is a bit more tedious but in the right instances it is super worth it. Doing this means I also show my workflow between Davinci Resolve and After Effects. I’ve had a fair few questions regarding this so I’m happy to finally show it.As always, thank you for watching!
