Sound design — every person, action and object

Dialogue & voice
  • Tobias Osei — He laid nine miles. I'll lay the rest.
    Open-air boom, no reflection, -23 LUFS
  • Nadia Aziz — Nobody rides this spur without asking her.
    Lav with dust-cloth handling
Foley — frame-matched to the render
Spike hammer
Steel on steel with a real ringing tail and a delayed slap-back off the ridge
Rail spike
Timber bite on the last blow, duller than the first four
Rifle
Lever throw, brass ejection and a chamber close, cut to the hands
Survey chain
Link drag over ballast with a tension snap
Water barrel
Ladle scoop and a stave creak
Ambience beds
  • • Open plains with a long slap-back off the ridge
  • • Wind through the grass line
  • • Horses shifting off camera
  • • Crickets rising as light drops
Score

Solo fiddle with a bass drum on the hammer strikes, never between them

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
  • • The ridge slap-back is a real delay set from the on-screen distance — it retimes every setup
  • • No library loops on visible actions — each hit is cut to the frame it happens on
