Introduction
The sound for “A Sound Proposal” came together during our final exam, on 2. year at Sonic College, 3D sound. We were tasked with the challenge of re-designing the sound for the film and mix it in Dolby Atmos.
Sound Design of “Thunder Scene”
I created the sound design for the thunderstorm scene which was a really interesting sequence to make. Especially, when involving Dolby Atmos in the process from the beginning. I played a lot with how the rumbles of the thunder and the reverbs moves and reflects in the room. I had an idea where the first impact happens in the center speakers and the tale and reverbs of the thunder move down and around the hall. That really created an immersive and “real” experience. Thunder sequence starts at 01:52.

Sound Design of Dolby Atmos logo
I also created the Dolby Atmos logo which was a task were I could really play around and try different approaches. I wanted to have some texture in the beginning that sparks and kicks things of. Then there’s the explosion and the logo flying in from the back. Obviously, I had to translate that to Dolby Atmos and created the effect of things flying over the audience.

Composing
My role also included making two musical pieces. The first one is used in the beginning as “Chad” steps out of the car. The second is the music coming from the boom-blaster he’s holding in front of “Cassandras” window. The aesthetic of the sound is “modern American Pie”, which means that we were creating a sound that could draw some parallels between the two different decades.
