Under Armour's cinematic, spine-tingling film, directed by Iconoclast's Jonas Lindstroem, follows a downtrodden football team facing a loss at half-time during an important final. Packed with an electric tension, the film documents the trials and tribulations of training in competitive sports and the mental hardships that need to be overcome in order to win. Created by 72andSunny Amsterdam, the film coalesces around Under Armour's age-old mantra - 'Protect This House'.

The Music + Sound
The film is built around this chant, and so I was tasked with embedding it into the music and a soundscape of electrifying moments - from screaming heads in ice baths to tense training regimes, the film is a whirlwind of intense moments of physical and mental testing. The film is both intimate and grand - I had to capture that raw, visceral sense of determination. The impact of lockers in the opening scenes was a key signifying element in building the energy of the film from the humble locker room to a powerful, spinetingling climax.

Oregon Ducks have relased Innovation U - a high-impact, energetic tribute to the rich history and remarkable evolution of the American Football team, as documented vividly in their 400-page Innovation University Book.

Built to dominate the dunes, the Crawler boasts a 900hp engine - and you can't drive it on conventional roads. Directed by the inimitable Tom Thessman, the film itself is a cinematic ode to freedom unleashed.

The Sound
I was tasked with showcasing the sound of the Crawler, capturing its singular, almost animalistic engine. I spent a lot of time detailing the car itself, right down to the suspension response against the desert, and the sense of exhilaration felt while blasting across the wild desert expanse.

The Music
I composed a gritty, dreamlike soundscape, blending human voices and deep, brooding analog synths. I wanted to capture the feeling of being intoxicated with pure freedom, culminating in a powerful, adrenaline-filled climax.

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.

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.

Ireland’s leading decorative paint company Colourtrend tasked Irish agency Boys + Girls to create a vibrant world of colour to showcase the creation of their paint. The film reveals the beauty of how paint formulates using mesmerising, real-time Fluid Art by Roman de Giuli captured in his lab in Germany. Directed by Brian Willaims, the experiments were filmed in camera in real time using high frame rate cameras, creating a wonderful world of slow-motion colour.

The Music + Sound
I worked with the team to craft a deep, luscious soundscape that dances with the kinetic energy of the paint as the emulsion powder and pigments melded together. I was already a big fan of Roman’s iconic fluid art, so adding an acoustic dimension to his experiments was a fascinating process.
