About this service

Summary

I create concept-driven sound design and original music for 3D animation. The aim is to sell scale, weight, and atmosphere—so materials feel real, motion reads clearly, and story beats land with confidence.
(No tech jargon—just sound that makes your 3D animation feel tangible, cinematic, and memorable.)

Process

Discovery & Direction We align on tone, references, pacing, and key moments. You’ll get a clear plan for the audio palette and milestones.
Design & Composition Custom effects, foley, ambiences, and musical ideas are built around your shots—camera moves, reveals, simulations, and transitions—so each scene feels alive and intentional.
Review & Sync You’ll receive previews placed to picture. We refine accents, timing, and textures around cuts, slow-mo, and time-remapped moments until everything clicks.
Polish & Mix Editing and mixing bring dialogue, effects, and music together smoothly, supporting clarity and emotional impact without distracting from the visuals.
Delivery Final masters arrive sync-ready. Stems and alternate versions are available to fit your edit and distribution needs; multichannel options can be arranged if required.

FAQs

  • What types of 3D work do you handle?

    Cinematic shorts, product renders, character and creature sequences, hard-surface action, motion-graphics hybrids, and VFX-driven shots.

  • How do you make audio feel “real” in 3D?

    By matching materials, weight, speed, and screen scale—layering foley and designed elements so movements, impacts, and environments feel convincing and support the story.

  • Do you create custom effects and music for each project?

    Yes. Every project gets its own sound palette and musical approach that fits the art direction and narrative tone.

  • How do revisions work?

    Feedback is built in. We adjust timing, intensity, and tone through included revision rounds until the soundtrack delivers the feeling you want.

  • What do you need to start?

    An animatic or near-locked cut (playblasts are welcome), notes on mood/brand, references or temp tracks if any, and your delivery date.

  • Do you provide stems and alt versions?

    Yes—stems plus alternate/loopable cuts for trailers and platform-specific outputs are available.

He understood the assignment well, did an amazing sound design for our video, then due to some changes on our side, he re-did it again, no questions asked. Amazing experience!
