Starving Artistry

 

Alright, now up is a 30 second Aston Martin spot. Just like the sci fi one, it took me 2 nights to do this. One night for music, one night for sound design. This time I started with sound design.

 

It took a while to find all the sounds… especially ’cause I have no clue what an Aston Martin DBS sounds like. I imagine it’s got a nice big engine. Anyway, the only sounds I could find were of a Toyota Matrix and a Honda Civic. I pitch shifted the engine sounds lower so that it sounded bigger and meaner. Then I took some audio of cars passing in the street and time-shifted them to match the swooshing. 

 

The music was interesting too. I really wasn’t sure which direction to go with it. I auditioned it with just a drum beat and it was pretty cool too, but I decided in the end to keep the electronic instruments in also. If I were really doing it for a client, I guess I’d send them multiple versions to mull over. In this case, you guys get to hear this one. Almost done w/ the portfolio, just one more thing to do, then compile the portfolio itself!
