Sound design — every person, action and object
Dialogue & voice
- Cass Renn — Trailer VO pass — recorded on the same voice print used in every generated take.Close lav + boom blend, dialogue seated at -23 LUFS
- Tobias Sol — Two on-camera lines, lip-sync verified frame-by-frame against the render.Boom only, room-matched IR
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Hero footsteps
Leather sole into 2cm standing water — heel splash on frames 4 & 19, heel-to-toe weight roll matched to the walk cycle
Longcoat
Waxed canvas rustle on each arm swing, water-heavy so the fabric reads soaked, not dry
Rain on hero
Individual droplet ticks on shoulders and hat brim, denser inside the neon pool where the camera sees the rain
Neon sign
60Hz ballast buzz with a failing-tube stutter synced to the visible flicker
Hover bike pass-by
Doppler whine that peaks exactly on the frame the bike crosses the lens axis, with a spray tail off the puddle it hits
Fire escape
Distant metal groan and drip line, panned to the upper-left of the frame where it sits
Ambience beds
- • Continuous rain bed on wet stone, mid-density
- • Distant six-lane traffic hiss, low-passed by the alley walls
- • Transformer hum from the block substation
- • Muffled club sub two floors up, felt more than heard
Score
Analog synth pad in D minor, magenta-cold; sub pulse locked to 74 BPM so the push-in lands on a downbeat
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
