Sound design — every person, action and object

Dialogue & voice
  • Mira Duval — This was a rehearsal ninety seconds ago.
    Mask lav with an internal cavity resonance
  • Lior Renn — Gauge says the storm is already inside.
    Boom, habitat interior IR
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Airlock wheel
Steel-on-steel ratchet, eight clicks matched to the visible turns, final clunk on the seal
Dust mask
Filter inhale hiss and a wet exhale valve flutter, per character
Habitat tarp
Wind-loaded canvas snap with a rope-grommet creak between gusts
Evac siren
Rotating horn with a real doppler sweep from the mast position
Boots on decking
Hollow composite panel resonance, different note per panel crossed
Ambience beds
  • • Storm front approaching from screen left, rising over 40 seconds
  • • Interior pressure hum
  • • Loose gravel skittering across decking
  • • Comms static bed
Score

Pulsing low strings with a rising cluster; music inverts to silence at the moment the drill becomes real

Mix
  • • 5.1 and binaural stereo folds rendered from one bed
  • • Dialogue -23 LUFS, trailer master -14 LUFS, true peak -1 dBTP
  • • Every element is placed from its on-screen position and tracked as the camera moves
  • • Storm bed is fully directional — it moves front to rear as the Steadicam turns into the wind
  • • No library loops on visible actions — each hit is cut to the frame it happens on
