In my opinion 50% of all good motion design is sound. I’ve had the privelege of working with 2 great sound designers for my work… firstly with DoSC who created some awesome sounds for my earlier work (Black Day to Freedom) and more recently with Ben of Hecq (Things Fall Apart). I first started working with Ben back in April 2006 after first discovering his Bad Karma album. I emailed him asking if he was interested in potential projects etc and the rest is history! The first piece Ben helped me with was Spring 06 reel which I prepared for the OFFF conference in May 2006 where he donated a track from the Bad Karma album so it was only right that when the time came to update my reel that I turned to Ben to create the tone and atmosphere to convey my work. I was struggling to come up with an idea that felt right for where I was with my career at this moment in time and Ben came up with a great idea and concept that worked for me perfectly! The above image is a snapshot of the work Ben put into the latest reel (which is now complete and will be online next week) and shows the commitment and attention to detail that he applies to every project. His latest album 0000 is out on Hymen records and comes highly recommended. Watch out for the reel!
