Cinematic Sound Design for Film + MediaSam Stewart
Sound is half the story — and when it’s done right, it’s the half that stays with you.
I design and mix immersive, emotionally resonant soundscapes for films, branded videos, and narrative media. Every layer — Foley, ambience, SFX, and dialogue — is built with intention and precision, so your audience feels the impact of every moment.
As both a filmmaker and sound designer, I understand what your project needs to sound cohesive and cinematic, from quiet realism to bold stylization. I’ll handle your entire sound post chain and deliver a polished, broadcast-ready final mix at the proper loudness levels for your distribution platform.
What's included
Final Sound Design Mix
Fully designed, mixed, and mastered soundtrack, leveled for your intended distribution (Filmhub, festival, streaming, or broadcast). Delivered as a high-quality WAV file(s) (48 kHz / 24-bit), ready for sync or direct upload.
Two Rounds of Revisions
Collaboration is built into my process — you’ll have two opportunities to share notes or adjust creative direction. For quick turnarounds, we’ll adapt the revision schedule as needed. Additional rounds can be added if requested.
Dialogue Cleanup and Mixing (if needed)
Using iZotope RX and dxRevive, I’ll remove background noise, hum, clicks, and any other imperfections, ensuring clean, natural dialogue that sits perfectly in the mix.
Along with mixing, I can also add effects to dialogue if this is an experimental project, or if characters are in a particular space that requires effects (over the telephone, in an echo-y space, etc.) I'm also skilled in mixing in ADR and dubbing if that is needed for your project.
Optional Add-On: 5.1 Surround Mix
For projects that need spatial depth, I can deliver a 5.1 mix for theater or festival exhibition.
FAQs
I work on a wide range of projects — from short films and trailers to branded videos, documentaries, and narrative media. If your project tells a story visually, I can help bring it to life sonically.
Turnaround depends on length and complexity. For most short films or branded pieces (under 10 minutes), the full process — design, mix, revisions, and delivery — usually takes 7-10 business days once I have picture lock and all assets. Rush turnarounds are always possible if discussed in advance.
Every project is unique, but here’s a general guide:
Short Branded or Commercial Project (under 2 min): $300–$600
Narrative Short Film (2–10 min): $600–$1,200
Long-Form or Complex Projects (10+ min): $1,200–$2,500+
Optional 5.1 mix or extensive dialogue repair may be quoted separately depending on scope.
I'm happy to discuss more details about your project via email/messaging so I can give you an accurate quote before starting!
A fully picture-locked cut, separate track stems of dialogue and any existing audio, music, or sound design, any notes on tone or key moments, and — if available — your preferred delivery specs or platform (e.g., Filmhub, festival submission, YouTube, etc.). From there, I’ll take care of the rest.
