Designing Rhythmic Ambiences

Designing Rhythmic Ambiences

Tim was recently challenged with designing ambiences for a series of shorts that had a lot of action. The clients very smartly requested these builds have a rhythmic quality to them, allowing them to play in the background without distracting too much from what was happening on-screen. Check out how this was accomplished!

The Evolution of Three Dolby Atmos Mix Stages

If you missed Jeff’s big announcement in his blog post Introducing Boom Box Post Verdugo, we are currently building a new facility that will be all our own! We are in the home stretch of construction of our new studio which will feature three Atmos-ready mix stages. We are hoping to complete construction in about a month, and then we will move on to fabric, wiring, and gear installation on the stages. Because this process has been fascinating to us as first-time mix stage builders, I thought I would share our progress thus far with all of you.

Lunch and Learn: How To Convey Weight and Speed

One of the things I've noticed working in animation is that you have a world of possibilities to create all kinds of sound design of monsters, spaceships, crazy rides, or even the sound of a giant squishy ball rolling out of control! A lot of the times, these sounds have to feel heavy and at the same time have movement to them. But, how to you get something to feel heavy and big, and also make it feel that it can go fast? Check out my process below!

Creating a Bug Zapper

Creating a Bug Zapper

Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are all staying safe during this crazy time of quarantine. We sure do miss being at Boom Box! We hope to get your mind off all the madness with this bug zapper transformation build. Most people know that bugs are drawn to lights at night (it’s rather gross to watch… and makes me mad just thinking about how many bugs have swarmed my face at night near any sort of light). Well, this build showcases that kind of sequence. It is pretty epic so check out the creative process and listen to how it came together!
