In this immersive 5-day Sound Design intensive, you’ll step behind the scenes of professional film post-production and experience the power of cinematic sound. From the first sound spot to the final theatrical mix, you’ll explore how dialogue, music, Foley, and sound design work together to shape emotion, tension, and story.
Working hands-on with a short film, you’ll craft a complete sonic world from the ground up — performing Foley to picture, editing professional sound effects, designing original sounds, and ultimately mixing everything in a state-of-the-art theatrical mixing theatre.
Guided by industry professionals, you’ll gain insight into real-world workflows while building practical skills using the same tools found in professional post-production studios.By the end of the week, you’ll walk away with finished stereo and 5.1 surround mixes — and a deeper understanding of how sound transforms moving images into unforgettable cinematic experiences.
