Official Secrets Act – So Tomorrow

Came across this awesome video, created by James Houston who also created the amazing “Big Ideas” remix. I just love how he’s thoroughly designed every single scene in this video to look so extremely retro-futuristic.

Motion & Audio Experiments

Update: this reel is now also featured on The FWA Theater

Me and Sander have put together a small reel showcasing a few experiments with motion effects and Sanders skills at producing audio. The reel consists of several pieces and scraps from animations I’ve been playing around with the last few months and a dark and distorted soundtrack that’s been synchronized with the visuals. Please do turn up the volume for this one.

Sonans

We’ve produced this little commercial spot for  Sonans:

Audio Production in 5.1 Surround

I’ve recently acquired a full 5.1 Surround system which I’m playing around with. For those not familiar with the term, here’s a short introduction:

A multichannel sound technology that produces five channels of sound in the left, right, center, left surround and right surround positions. 5.1 systems also have 1 channel for LFE (low frequency effects) which is usually sent to a subwoofer. (from webopedia)

Simply put, you get a much richer 360° experience when producing audio. This is not only a lot of fun, but really takes it to the next level in terms of making music or sounds for any project where there’s a 5.1 system available for playback, and is something I’m hoping we’ll get to put to use soon. For instance, the new TrondheimSoloists album Divertimenti, released on Blu-ray (the world’s first music Blu-ray actually), utilizes this technology and it’s safe to say more will be released in the future.
