Standing8

Narrative Creep
Sound Designer, Re-recording Mixer

Abdul was raised to fight and win; but when he kills an opponent in the ring chasing the title, he must confront his greatest enemy - himself.

Standing8 quickly shifts perspectives from the 3rd-person objective, to the 1st-person subjective. In this instance, the 1st person is hallucinatory, and the perspective shifts are often cued in by thunderous blows to the head. I took great care in this film to not only define the sonic extremes of both perspectives, but also the gray area in-between, when we slowly transition from a surreal dream state, only to wake back up in the boxing ring.
