I’ve designed the
sound for a short film called An Ordinary Life directed by Lorne Guy of GoodGuys Productions. This isn’t the first piece we’ve done together, in the past I
designed the sound for a short entered into the parallel lines competition
called Arklight:
This film however is
very different in nature and deals with real human issues. Serco approached
Lorne to commission a film that explored themes of care and the realities of
the life of carers. The film tells three interwoven stories of those affected.
It’s very interesting
the difference in working on these two shorts. Obviously with arklight as a
fantasy we could go a little more outlandish, creating the sound of the
spaceship from jet planes and seismographs. In an ordinary life we were a lot
more subtle reinforcing the location recordings with subtle Foley or little sonic
character points to steer attention and stress vulnerability.
Lorne was good enough
to contribute his voice for some slightly heavier breathing for Bill’s
character while I provided the wheezing. Being unhealthy does have it’s uses.
I really enjoyed
working with Lorne on this project and hope to carry on this dynamic on other
projects.
