    So I made this John Wick 4 Original Sound Design for fun, because Sound Design is SEVERLY underappreciated in filmmaking, they often say we see more with our ears than with our eyes.
    Therefore I want to learn how I can be a better sound designer myself, so I chose one of my favourite sequences from the John Wick series and built my own design from this,
    I'm Hayden Hillier-Smith. On this channel I will break down what makes good editing...pulling back the curtain on how editors make the choices to keep YOU, THE AUDIENCE, engaged. This includes showcasing the creative choices I have made. I hope you can learn something new and inspire you to edit.
    Recently, I crafted a John Wick 4 Original Sound Design as a passion project, demonstrating the critical importance of sound design in the world of filmmaking and film editing. Sound design is an oft-overlooked aspect of movie production, despite its pivotal role in enhancing the audience's experience. In the action-packed, adrenaline-fueled realm of the John Wick franchise, sound design plays an even more significant part in immersing viewers in the high-stakes world of this cinematic universe.
    My name is Hayden Hillier-Smith, and on this channel, I aim to unravel the mysteries of effective film editing, delving into the techniques and strategies employed by editors to captivate and maintain their audience's attention. As we explore the exciting realm of the John Wick series, we'll examine my own creative decisions, highlighting how they contribute to a gripping and immersive sound design. I hope that through these insights, you'll gain a newfound appreciation for sound design, and feel inspired to embark on your own journey in film editing and sound design. Together, we'll dive into the world of John Wick and beyond, discovering the secrets that make these movies so unforgettable.

    This was a really cool demo, but what I'd REALLY love to see is how you do sound design for a standard youtube video, e.g. a talking head video. You always manage to mix in subtle risers, drum hits, instrumentals, etc. in a way that really helps the emotional flow of a vid but I've had a hard time accurately imitating 😢

      @arrow2380 Рік тому +6

      I don't know but I have a very different opinion. I've tried these things in my own videos but the retention was terrible. Until I heard paddy Galloway's perspective and then I understood is what you say in the video is more important. Even in this video what mattered the most is what he was saying at the first 30 seconds and what words he used to hype the rest of the video. You can be very minimal with your editing but if what you're saying aka your script is more interesting, has unusual or not a conventional point of view and has more attempts to trigger emotions, that would get you far better retention. The rest are the cherry on top

    Incredible stuff Hillier. Sound design is excellent. Only critique is for a potential "Layer 8" - send all of the tracks to a reverb that emulates the space they're all in to glue all of the sounds together. (Altiverb has some good realistic reverb presets) I'm pretty sure there's one for an underpass on a highway on it.
