We Are ODST - Remix

Sound design isn’t usually my focus, but this project turned out to be a blast. I took on a full audio remix of the iconic We Are ODST video game trailer, rebuilding every sonic detail from scratch. I sourced sound effects from all over, some paid, many free from freesound.org, and recorded my own foley when I couldn’t find the right fit or didn’t want to pay for it.

​

Working in Adobe Audition, I learned a lot about layering, modulation, and the subtle art of creating diegetic sound.

 

My creative direction for this remix was to express the numbness, shock, and emotional detachment that war often perpetuates. The most rewarding part was breaking each scene down into its smallest elements and using sound to reshape the trailer’s emotional tone through that lens.
