Amorak

Amorak is a 90-second horror animation. As the sound designer for this independent redesign, I replaced its original soundtrack, built the creature’s voice and mixed its movement so headphone listeners hear it travel around them.

Final redesign

A creature you can hear moving around you

I combined a lion for the low growl, an elephant for weight, a tiger for the snarl and a hippo for its rough edge. I shaped each layer separately and made more than fifteen versions to match the creature’s actions.

The creature and the basement sounds move around the listener. When breathing, wood, chains and the roar overlap, I lowered the competing sounds enough to keep the breathing clear.
