Ashes to Ash - Apex Legends | Sound Re-design

My treasure, my most recent work, my final project towards my graduation at Vancouver Film School. Right off the bat I decided to pick this video because of the next reasons: First, I ADORE Apex Legends universe, second, It has everything I love: Sci-fi, dialogue, abstract sounds, real-life natural sounds. “My creativity is to be a peak in the next 2 months” I thought. Third reason, it has an awesome Story, some of the scenes are a little bit abstract and you don’t really know what’s happening, I wanted to make a re-imagine version; fourth and final reason, I would get the opportunity to work with other talent, in this case, voice actors, and boy did they nailed it.

My two biggest challenges in this project were: how do I make a 5.1 voice with great sound design? and, how can I create crazy Sci-Fi effects from other sources? Well, I had countless days and nights experimenting around different audio processes to get to my final Voice Design, countless days opening a default patch in Vital Synth and start creating and creating sounds. I probably ended up with about 10 original presets for this project. Finally, the fact that I got to work with other talent provided me with the ability to practice my communication skills in order to be able to get my idea across. I was blessed to work with them.
