The goal of this commercial was to dramatize the feeling of dropping your phone on cold, hard, cement. Our phones hold so much information and are so crucial in our lives; we wanted to play that up in a fun and exciting way.

This entire piece was meant to be a non-stop thrill ride. While the crashes and explosions were fun to add, we also made sure to give the film breaths as well.

tw: gore / 'Build up' was the name of the game for this sequence. We wanted to give the sense of peace and authority to the man walking so that it is even more surprising when the tables are turned.

New York City isn't an easy place to live, even if you're a legal citizen. We wanted to heighten those every day sounds to express the feelings of someone living here in fear.

As the opening of the film, we wanted to set up a world that was rich with texture and pretty dirty. Every moment had to have something special; we wanted the audience to feel like scorpions were right next to them.

tw: violence / A lot of the fun of this film was taking famous theatrical scenes and adding a cinematic flair to them. Along with making the sword fight exciting, we wanted to make sure the nefarious actions on the sidelines were always on the viewers’ minds.

tw: violence / Spots like these are a blast to do sound for. With only a short amount of time, we wanted to make sure people could learn a little bit about Ryan while getting excited about his fight.

tw: police brutality / A protest can feel chaotic, especially when escalated by the police. We wanted to convey that feeling of multiple unique moments happening separately but all at once.

I removed the music for this clip to highlight the design more. We played a lot with tones and electrical hums to give the feeling like the viewer was moving through cables.
