As part of American University’s master of audio technology curriculum, Sound Design Tech & Visual Media is a course where students complete sound design projects for visual media.

For this assignment, I was given 2 weeks to completely sound design an excerpt from a gameplay trailer of The Last of Us Part II. The trailer video was provided without audio. Dialog was not included as part of the project.

My contributions:

As part of American University’s audio technology master’s program, sound design tech/visual media is a course that focuses on sound design, Foley, and sound-to-picture. For this assignment, I worked together as part of the class to record half of the SFX used, then sourced/recorded/designed the others independently. Lastly, I synchronized them with the video.

EA OCCO: JPiS

For the intro animatic, I composed original music alongside the video that coincides with the key points of emotional expression. I calculated what BPM would match these points and then created the song in Propellerheads Reason (version 7). I also designed sound effects to act as stingers for the moments of communication that tell players the story of the game they are about to play.

I made this teaser video for a student game project I developed under the direction of the Office of the Chief Creative Officer at Electronic Arts. For the project I served as a game designer, audio artist/engineer, and producer. This video showcases some of the music and sound effects I did for the game.

For the first 3 stages of gameplay I defined an intensity variable that is passed into Wwise for RTPC. The intensity settings of 1, 2 and 3 correspond to low, medium and high, respectively, as seen in this video. Once the players reach the boss, the music transitions to a new song, and again if they manage to defeat the boss. Not depicted in the video is the increase in pitch, tempo, and HPF as the players’ ship takes more and more damage, followed by an immediate drop in pitch accompanied by a LPF when the players take a final life-ending hit.

This is a short compilation of projects that I worked on during my time at Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC as a music intern. I edited the video clips to make this reel as well as the music and vocal cues contained within it. The song used during the latter half of the video is a cue I worked on that was implemented into inFAMOUS: First Light.
