Sound design — every person, action and object

Dialogue & voice
  • Mara Lindqvist — Forty-eight hours of shade. That's the whole plan.
    Close lav, dry mouth detail intact, -23 LUFS
  • Dov Lindqvist — Say again — you are breaking up.
    Radio-processed with static gating
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Thermal blanket
Mylar crackle that gets louder as they weaken and handle it worse
Emergency radio
Squelch open, carrier hiss, then a battery-sag pitch drop
Wing fragment
Aluminium ticking as it expands in the sun, spaced minutes apart
Water bottle
Cap crack, then a nearly-empty rattle
Breathing
Two distinct rates, both slowing across the film
Ambience beds
  • • Desert daytime with almost no reflection
  • • Heat shimmer as high-frequency air noise
  • • Occasional gust, isolated
  • • True silence in the shade pocket
Score

Two-note string figure that gets slower each time it returns, matching their pulse

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
  • • Breath is the loudest recurring element — mixed above wind for the entire third act
  • • No library loops on visible actions — each hit is cut to the frame it happens on
