Andrew Spitz has published a great post on his blog talking about the sound he designed and programmed for the BMW Tunnel Experience.
A few months back, with Mann Made Media, I had the privilege to work on a great project for BMW. BMW was announcing their sponsorship of the South African rugby team – the Springboks. Our brief was to simulate the feeling a rugby player would experience as they walk onto a packed stadium. It was well received and we were finalists at the Loerie Awards 2011.
The goal was to quickly and effectively give participants a feeling of excitement and pride. I was going for an army-like collective – a stadium is the perfect venue for this. There’s nothing quite like the unison of a packed stadium cheering and singing an anthem to unify a country. Fortunately the Soccer World Cup happened recently, so I had lots of material. Also, for a commercial I had gotten a small crowd of 20 to sing the anthem and also had them stomp their feet together, which is the sound stomping you here in the first two mixes below (with lots of processing). All and all, each loop is made up of a gazillion layers!
