Sound design — every person, action and object

Dialogue & voice
  • Ilse Moreau — They grow toward the transmitter, not the sun.
    Greenhouse IR, glassy and bright, -23 LUFS
  • Bram Osei — Then the transmitter is telling them something.
    Open roof, wind-screened
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Glass panes
Pane-by-pane resonance in the storm gusts, each a different note
Seed tray
Wet soil press with a plastic tray flex
Watering can
Rose-head spray onto leaves and then onto soil, two distinct textures
Antenna array
Guy-wire hum rising with wind speed
Moss
Damp compression underfoot, almost silent
Ambience beds
  • • Greenhouse interior, bright and reflective
  • • Rain on glass overhead
  • • RF interference as a tonal bed
  • • Wind at the roof edge
Score

Modular synth patched from live RF noise, filtered into a warm major key

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
  • • Every plant is a placed emitter — the orbit re-pans thirty individual growth textures in real time
  • • No library loops on visible actions — each hit is cut to the frame it happens on
