Sound design — every person, action and object

Dialogue & voice
  • Ines VanceTrailer VO pass — recorded on the same voice print used in every generated take.
    Close lav + boom blend, dialogue seated at -23 LUFS
  • Tobias LindqvistTwo on-camera lines, lip-sync verified frame-by-frame against the render.
    Boom only, room-matched IR
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Aisle footsteps
Boot on carpeted board with a hollow subfloor, each step slightly off-balance to match the carriage sway
Bogie and rail joints
Clack pattern timed to the visible sleeper-blur rate — four-beat cadence, with a longer gap over the visible switch
Carriage sway
Body creak from the coach frame, panned left-right in phase with the on-screen roll
Brass latch
Cold-metal thumb-lever snap and spring return, one per visible hand action
Teacup
Rattle in the saucer only while the coach is rolling; goes still when the frame steadies
Wool coat
Dry period-wool rustle, no synthetic sheen, on every arm and shoulder move
Ambience beds
  • Wheel roar under the floor, low-passed and constant
  • Wind at the window seal, rising on the visible tunnel approach
  • Distant carriage chatter through two doors
Score

Solo cello and brushed timpani in amber; motif enters on the reverse angle, never over the latch

Mix
  • 5.1 and binaural stereo folds from one bed
  • Dialogue -23 LUFS, trailer master -14 LUFS, true peak -1 dBTP
  • Every foley element is placed from the object's on-screen position and follows it as the camera moves
  • No library loops on visible actions — each hit is cut to the frame it happens on
