Ident/Branding: Silver Hound Films

Sound DesignComposingBranding & Identity
Written By Michael W. Bell

Silver Lining Pictures and Mediahound Films have joined forces to create "Silver Hound Films", a film production company with one aim... To create high quality adverts, idents and show reels for companies and brands. Motion graphics artist David Turner created an immersive and visually rich ident for the company and I was tasked with the job of designing the sound.

Manipulating found sounds and combining sub-bass drones, high end swells and of course modern sound design instruments such Gravity, I was able to create a heavy atmosphere and add impacting sounds for the thunder, howles and rain ending the cue abruptly to allow the team to seamlessly flow into their future visuals.
