Orlebar Brown, the luxury swimwear brand, has released a nostalgic short film that celebrates their tailored men's swimwear collection, 'Bulldog'. Directed by Cian McKenna and produced by Not Just Any, the film takes viewers on a beautiful journey through dreamlike scenes, capturing the peace and tranquillity of holidays.

The Sound

I sound-designed textures using nostalgic analogue photography foley, then blurring it with sounds of laughter, relaxation and details of beautiful holiday scenes. You can hear the subtle sound of a dock, the soft stitching of fabric and the natural sound of the ocean.

I composed a piano-centric composition, 'treating' its sound during the opening flurry of images like an old-time recording. Later, the piece evolves, blending warm strings with the sounds of the ocean.

After a decade hiatus, EA Games finally dropped the trailer for its iconic franchise; Skate. This was no ordinary game trailer - Skate is always about the fans, and so, instead of a highly-polished and cinematic promo, they released a pre-pre-pre-pre Alpha teaser to involve fans in the process and give them a glimpse of what's to come.

The Sound

My brief was to seamlessly blend the old and the new, working with the original game sounds from the '07, '08, and '09 releases to showcase the advancements that awaited in the next instalment. This film was unique in that it was for a video game, so it required a very different set of rules for sound design accurately. The team at EA were adamant that the sounds were faithful to the quality of the new in-game audio they have crafted for the game.

The Process

The beginning of the trailer is far barer, using only the old sounds, but as we move toward the latter half, we can hear the fidelity of the sounds improve, along with the realism and accuracy. Every minute detail, from the grinds of axles over metal versus wood to the effect of wheels rolling over different textured surfaces, had to be meticulously stitched together to authentically represent the playing experience.

Fresh from its Amazon Prime debut, the film made in collaboration with WhatsApp has been nominated at the prestigious British Arrows for Best Branded Film. 'Naija Odyssey' - directed by Nono Ayuso & Rodrigo Inada - chronicles the life and origins of NBA All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The story moves between three different countries, Nigeria, Greece and Milwalkie, reflecting the rich cultural background Giannis had, and how it shaped his career entering into Basketball. The goal was to create an immersive, memory-like narrative, crossing seamlessly between spaces and ideas in beautiful visual storytelling.

The Sound
I sound-designed the entire film, working with US Agency Translation, production house Partizan, composer Paulo Gallo and VFX house Mathematic to tell the epic tale.

I recently collaborated with the team at TBWA\Chiat\Day to craft the immense, multiscreen opening film for Advanced Microchip Device's keynote at CES 2023 in Las Vegas.

Directed by Warner Shaw at Be Grizzlee, the film was split across three massive screens at the conference, taking the 5,000-strong audience and over two hundred thousand online viewers on an epic visual journey, teeing off CEO Lisa Su's keynote speech.

In 2022, Jump Crypto and ZEPETO launched ZTX - a joint blockchain initiative and the largest metaverse in Asia with over 400 million lifetime users.

The Sound
I collaborated with Ntropic LA to compose & sound dseign their high-impact brand launch film. The visuals are a melange of different abstractions, each representing the malleability of the Metaverse space and the creative possibilities within.
