🔈🔉🔊 Sound design for an explainer animation. This is for Eight (previously known as Agile) and their Shopify plugin, which enables sellers to create product bundles and shoppers to customise their own easily. For two reasons, a large portion of the SFX I used consisted of soft tones with smooth attacks.  The first was to communicate the concept of a user-friendly experience for both sellers and buyers. Using these types of sounds for the icon movements and transitions shows how users will smoothly progress from one step to another in the app, creating an easy and satisfying experience. The second was to match the visual style and its use of soft textures. Sounds with slower attacks can feel more texture-like compared to something like a click or knock, which would come and go in an instant. And as many of the sounds used have a tonal quality to them, they have been designed to complement and harmonise with the music track.

🔈🔉🔊 Another fine piece of work by Jack of Milk & Peppers for the folks at Shape History. This one’s for Make Medicines Affordable who work to reduce the cost of certain medications in middle-income countries. I didn’t do any sound design for this one. Instead, I was tasked with chopping up and rearranging the stems from a piece of stock music to better follow the animation’s rhythm and flow.  The advantage of using stock music in this way is that you can get it to work so much more tightly with the movement and dynamics of the animation. The process often feels like I’m creating a remix of the track (in a way, that’s kind of what’s happening) Not all stock music sites offer stems, but it can be a great way to strengthen the connection between motion and music and enhance the storytelling when this option is available.

🔈🔉🔊 Music for a social media post This piece was used to help Jack Titmas and his brother raise money for the MS Society. They participated in the ‘Murph’ challenge (2K rum, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups and 300 squats every day for 25 days) dedicated to their mum.  It can be quite nice if a video can seamlessly loop when posted to social media, particularly on Instagram. This particular upload loops twice. With this in mind, I made a “4 to the floor” kick drum beat and played with the BPM* until I had 8 bars of 8 beats that fits (to the last frame!) with the exact length of the video. I then wrote a simple piece of music using melodic, bass and percussive sounds. This was followed by adding other musical elements that followed the actions on screen. For example, I used a reversed piano for the shiny swipes, a synthy bleep for when Jack and his bro’s image bops up and down and a cinematic-style drum roll on the “join us for…” part.

I managed to get the 2 lined up, and it sounded, well, it wasn’t pretty as one would expect. #originalmusic #musicproducer #musiccomposer #animation #sounddesign #mograph #sfx #motiondesign #sound #soundon #illustration #2danimation #aftereffects #keyframes #audio #design #motionlovers #mdcommunity #motiongraphics #animated #audio #explainer #musicforsocialmedia #musicloop #explainervideo #sounddesigner #logicprox #freelance #freelancing #mssociety #multiplesclerosis

🔊🔊🔊 Sound design for an animated lecture. Here’s an animation I did the sound design titled “The Power of Diverse Thinking” for the RSA shorts series. It features an extract from a talk given by Matthew Syed on harnessing the power of cognitive diversity. The sound was designed to be playful while remaining light. It can be easy to turn the SFX up to 11 when an animation doesn’t have music to fill the space.  However, the space with this animation isn’t dictated by what we see on screen (which is normally the case). Instead, it’s dictated by the lecturer. This means we can put the viewer in that space.  And so the sounds were generally peppered around the mix while keeping atmos sounds to a minimum to keep the viewer fully engaged with the talk and at that event.  Sound design @tigerbearaudio Animation and direction @stephenonguk Additional animation by @mr.zaksmith More of my sound design work can be found at tigerbearaudio.com #animation #sounddesign #mograph #sfx #motiondesign#sound #soundon #illustration #2danimation #aftereffects #keyframes #audio #design #animated #audio #explainer #explainervideo #sounddesigner #logicprox #soundformedia #soundforanimation #freelance #freelancer #cognativediversity

🔊🔊🔊 Sound design for a social impact animation. “The Heat Action Platform is a place for city officials, practitioners, and financial institutions to find guidance on reducing the human and economic impacts of extreme heat at the regional or municipal level” The central sonic theme that runs through the animation is the classic battle of good vs evil. Or in this case cool vs hot. Deep subby rumbles are used to signify the dangers of over heating, adding weight and tension. When those low end frequencies are removed from the soundscape it creates a feeling that the air is clearing and cooling, and puts the viewer into a safer space. Plus, there’s all the usual sound designing going on over Jack’s ace work.

🔈🔉🔊 Music for a social media animation. This just-for-funzies animation sits somewhere between a tribute and a spoof (or maybe just a full-on piss take) of a well-known beat-em-up (and its maaaaany editions). Being one of those nerdy types that enjoys video game soundtracks of yesteryear I jumped at the chance to go all old-skool on this. I wanted something that resembled arcade-style title screen music! For the main section, I bounced various versions of the melody with different synth sounds and cut between them. I put each of these sounds in different places in the stereo field to give it some extra energy and that arcade hyper sound. The whole thing was topped off with a little thick and wide chorus effect and some bit crushing to help keep things grubby and in the past.

🔈🔉🔊 Sound design and music editing for a narrative animation. ‘Dad comes homes’ is a story about how insurance helps a family after the dad is involved in a road traffic accident. The animation starts with the accident followed by a cut to the hospital moments later. The car alarm and heart rate monitor are beeping at the same speed and rhythm to show that one has caused the other and that Dad has been knocked unconscious and taken to hospital. In this character-driven animation, there’s no room for the usual synthetic sounds that tend to dominate explainers. Instead, the piece is peppered with little dinging notes that work with the scale of the music. These dings are used to punctuate the moments of the story where the insurance has had a positive effect on the Dad and his family. It’s moments like when we see Dad taking a step while having physiotherapy or when the caregiver walks into frame. There’s a few other moments where the SFX are working with the music. When the boy puts his handheld console into the basket it plays a little 8-bit melody that’s in the same key (C major). There’s a delay effect on the coin sound when Mum says “They take money out” that’s repeating at a 1/8 dotted rhythm of the music’s 145bpm. Having SFX work with the music in this way helps to gel everything together and create a more cohesive sound scape and enhance the story. There was also a fairly simple edit on the music stems that gave the boy a moment to take his shot at the end (and smash a window in the process).

🔈🔉🔊 Sound design for a short film called Burnard 🧯 This is a story about someone who wants the world to burn (kinda)... Much of the sound design in this animation is focused on the ambience of the office Burnard occupies. It was important to show that this was a working office (even if we don’t see much activity) so certain sounds were given a considered placement in the stereo field. This meant that some activity/people could be roughly pin-pointed over the otherwise low-level din of the office space. Several fire alarm SFX were tested for Burnard’s big moment The final one was chosen due to it being more piercing and obnoxious than the others (thereby emphasising the imminent danger) but it also just sounded better when slowed down. Fun fact: there’s a nod to Stephen & Mark’s other short film in this.
