I was commissioned by Alessio Reedijk to do the vocal recording, sound design and music of this short film that was made for the promotion of DAS Arts institute.
Even though the film is called research (for obvious reasons), the role I played in the development didn't take that much research. I got together with Shelley to record the voice over together with Flip and Alessio. We might have had this inspirational drone running in the background at that time.
Mostly it was me just using the tools I already had gathered up to this point to develop the soundtrack of this film. The folly was a bit more subtle at some point (and also a first for me) but I think it does come out natural and unnatural at the points where it is intended.
I will probably never have this amount of control over the audio in a short film again, but I'm really happy with the final mix of the project.
