A screenshot from a sound design project that I’m currently doing for Andra Fembriarto. I’m very much a Pro Tools person while I am still at Uni, but ever since I moved to Singapore and now back to Jakarta, I started to work intensively with Logic Pro and other open-sources audio software.

Current Project

I’m currently working on a sound design project for a stop-motion film directed by Andra Fembriarto. The project is purposely made for a short film festival which is due on August 2009.

I must say that this is a really tough and challenging project. Stop Motion Film mean:

1. There are no location sound reference.
2. 100% of the sound in the film will be made entirely on the post-production which include ADR, Foley, SFX, Ambience, Texture, Diegetic sound, non-Diegetic sound.

As a sound designer, my job is to provide all those sound elements which is then manipulated and composed in certain way to create a unique sonic sensation that connect the visual aspect of the film with the sound.

My challenge as a sound designer for this project is to create an extremely dark, nightmarish, and haunting atmosphere without using any musical composition at all. Some of my influences are films such as The Ordeal and The Birds which are two suspense/horror films that show an interesting example on how fear can be build through sound design with the absence of music.
