"2 hour sound design challenge" reel (2023)

Hey everyone,

posting this less to share the reel but rather share the idea with you:

Inspired by ASoundEffect's interview with the audio team of Returnal, we started doing (somewhat) bi-weekly "Sound Design Challenges" in which one team member presents a silent video of anything and everyone then gets max. 2 hours to deliver a sound design for the scene. Lots of fun as it allows us to work on stuff we'd usually not get our hands on AND give/receive feedback lateron. The focus was not necessarily to deliver a complete, perfect sound design but rather to explore new workflows, manage time and mix routine up a little.

Highly, highly recommend this practice, I’d say I’ve learned a lot and came up with new ways of doing things because of this!

Oh, and here is some stuff from last year. Again, done in max. 2 hours each:
