01
Timing
Place sound with enough precision that action feels intentional rather than simply accompanied.
SOUND & MUSIC / 04
Animation sound design with weight, rhythm and character.
Sound for moving image is built frame by frame: timing action, shaping perspective and giving animated movement a physical and emotional reality.
Hear all 6 samples01 / APPROACH
Every movement is a decision.
02
Weight
Use impact, texture and scale to make movement feel physical even when the world is highly stylised.
03
Character
Give objects, creatures and environments a sonic personality that belongs to the visual language.
04
Perspective
Shift proximity, space and detail so the listener knows where attention belongs.
05
Rhythm
Let sound work with the cut and movement, creating pace without turning every action into a hit point.
06
Restraint
Choose what not to sound so the important moments keep their contrast and impact.
