The sound design of The Orchard
So the halloween contest is over and the one I helped with the sound design for, won.
Congratulations, Lafawnduh with The Orchard

Considering it was my last sound design in the machinima community for awhile, I thought I go out with a bang..sort of speak. I decided to give detail to the sound in ways I don’t really bother doing for free. Because it takes time and effort.
So I spent some extra time in detailing stuff like: rain hitting the walls, rain falling on the edge of the doorway and dripping into puddles, farmhand walking is barefooted in sound as well, footsteps for the main character to be accurate to the surface his walking to - like for instance the stairs being wood and that it is in fact stairs and some more.
All in all, I don’t really do contest movies anymore but I wanted to do horror for a change and I got not only a great story and visuals to work with, but also someone who was careful and respectful to the art of sound and my recent personal dismay. So it was worth the extra time I spent on it.
Glad he won.
You did great mate!
Too bad I didn’t win!
Oh well, good luck lad! Hope to see you back into machinima at a later date!
