Project and Portfolio V - The Blacksmith
In this demo reel I have designed and edited sounds surrounding the character Völund, the Blacksmith.
​
In the demonstration we see Völund, the magic blacksmith. For the cinematic piece I created an ominous and dark tonal drone for the background. Peppered in the ambience I've added a thunder clap, a stag cry, and a crow calling.
The sound for his magic is a highly processed sample, along with some reverb and EQ. The foley and footsteps are lowered in pitch and have an ominous feel to them.
​
In the Gameplay we see Völund's weapon and an enemy he must face. Völund's blade features a fiery sound as it swings through the air, while the enemies dark magic weapon creates a more pulsing and reverberant sound. ​
​
Most of the sounds feature an EQ. I premixed the sounds before implementing them into Wwise, and fine tuned them in the game software.
