But he's a Man
Project type
Audio Production, Sound Design, Audio restauration
"But He's a Man" is a compelling sketch that explores the emotional journey of a loving man who discovers that his partner is a lesbian. The narrative presents two possible reactions, delving into the complexities of love and acceptance.
Role and Responsibilities:
As the sound designer and music composer for this project, I was responsible for several key audio elements:
Audio Restoration: The boom mic was damaged during production, requiring me to restore the entire audio track from the camera mic. Using advanced techniques in iZotope RX, I meticulously cleaned up the audio, removing background noise, reducing reverb, and enhancing clarity to ensure a professional-quality sound.
Sound Design: To support the emotional depth of the sketch, I crafted a dynamic and soft, yet subtly creepy, soundscape. This approach heightened the tension and emotional impact of the scenes. I recorded my own vocals and processed them through a granulator to create a deep, textured ambiance that complemented the visual storytelling.
Music Composition: The music played a crucial role in conveying the underlying emotions. I composed original pieces that blended seamlessly with the narrative, using a mix of instruments and sound effects to maintain a cohesive and immersive experience for the audience.
Challenges and Solutions:
One of the most significant challenges was the restoration of the camera mic audio. Despite the poor quality of the initial recordings, I approached this as an opportunity to push my skills in audio restoration. Through careful application of noise reduction, spectral repair, and EQ adjustments, I successfully enhanced the audio to meet high production standards.
Outcome:
The sketch, which will be featured on a content platform in Germany, showcases my ability to handle complex audio restoration tasks and deliver a polished, emotionally resonant soundscape. This project exemplifies my dedication to overcoming technical challenges and my commitment to enhancing the storytelling experience through sound.
