Hello creatives, here is another tutorial of mine. It is 13 minutes of information regarding how I approach certain techniques, and how I layer sound to properly marry audio to visuals.
I hope you can take away something from this! Please like and subscribe if you liked what you heard. I will make more tutorials.
I’m sure it’s hard to make some CGI, especially for big-budget movies and shows. What’s the most difficult CGI you’ve done? And how did you overcome the obstacles to finish it?

Hello creatives, here is my first tutorial (texted info) of how I play around with layers/mixing as I go just to get a sense of the cohesiveness.
More tutorials to come, I hope you can take away something from this!
Incredible sound design, Kevin Gamble! I can see it working in Horror, Thriller, and Sci-Fi movies/shows too.
This is so cool, Kevin Gamble! Thank you for sharing with us all! I can’t wait for you to post more tutorials, keep them coming.
Ashley Renee Smith They are in the works, thanks!

I haven't seen A Real Pain but I'm most definitely adding it to my list. I've never heard the term dailies used before so I learned something new, did a quick search and found the alternative version...

I honestly haven’t hear much about this film until now, Sam Sokolow. I’m so glad that you shared this. I’m excited to check the movie out now!
Hello creatives. I thought I would share one of my tutorials on a film I won 2 awards of for best Sound Design. I share the methods and sounds I used to create these unique hyper-realism sounds.
I hope you can take something from this!

Congratulations on winning the awards, Kevin Gamble! Great tutorial! The transition between the sewing machine and the girl running is one of the best transitions I've seen.
Maurice Vaughan Thanks Maurice, this truly was a fun project. Working in hyper-realism gives you endless ideas.
You're welcome, Kevin Gamble. Is Needlework online?
Kevin Gamble as an audio person, thank you for sharing a sound design tutorial! I also like that you showed the process of EQ out certain frequency and giving shortcut keys for protools users. Are you...

Cyrus Sales My pleasure Cyrus, yes I will be making more. I will post another one tonights as well and I am glad you could absorb some information.
As a colorist, one of my favorite looks to craft is the intense warm aesthetic. It’s more than just saturating reds and yellows—it’s about creating an emotional pull that envelops the viewer in heat, nostalgia, or tension, depending on the context.
Have you tried the intense warm look in your project...

You know Sayantan Adhikary, I admire colorist and there ability to set the mood of a scene/film. I never quite grasp the skillset when I was doing more editing in post-production. I'm definitely one t...

That's awesome, Cyrus Sales ! It's great to see your admiration for the craft. Color grading truly is an art—it shapes the emotions and storytelling of a project. Outsourcing it makes sense when you k...

What's your favorite part of post? Is it cutting the footage, dialing in the color grade, crafting the sound design, or nailing the dialogue mix? Personally, I’d love to hear what you enjoy most and which software is your go-to.
Adam Purvis Sound design can definitely make or break a scene! Do you create your own sound effects or work with a library?
Stephen Folker I work with a sound library, epidemic sound.
Stephen Folker Very good points! I may convert sooner than later!
Adam, Avid is on my list as well! How big would you say the learning curve for Avid is? I know it is a commonly used software with large studios
Benjamin Mehr the learning curve is pretty steep, especially if your coming from premiere, for example. Avid just has more complexity, if you will. But once you begin to understand the fundamentals yo...

I could have posted this in the Filmmaking or Production Lounge, but plumbed for Post-Production because I’d like us to have a conversation about non-diegetic sound; it’s use and perhaps overuse of it in sound design.
It’s a pretty basic introduction to the use of diegetic and non-diegetic sound, but...

Great share, Geoff Hall! I've heard diegetic and non-diegetic sounds in movies, but I didn't know they had names.
One of the best diegetic sounds I've heard when watching a film is the entire Mission:...

Maurice Vaughan thanks Maurice. And now that we are in the age of sound design, it would be good to have someone share their thoughts about creating non-diegetic sounds.
You're welcome, Geoff Hall.
Geoff Hall, I am curious what are some movie examples of the over-use of non-diegetic sound designs. I can think of those canned laugh tracks from the sitcoms...
Paul Rivers Hi Paul, for me, it's when sound design just becomes noise and adds nothing to the story.

Great tutorial, Kevin Gamble! The sounds make the trailer creepier and scarier. My favorite sound is the static. How long does it take to finish a trailer?
