SOUND

MUSIC COMPOSITION

Since the beginning of my project, I knew that the music would have an important role in my film. Unfortunately, even if music talks to me a lot, I have no skills in composition. It was then hard to communicate what I really wanted for my film. When I started the process, I thought that it could be associated to the soul character but I then changed my mind when I realized that my story was based on the girl's point of view. It would more logical to associate the music with what she is feeling. This being said, my main character's feelings were very complex and it was difficult for me to find the right words to explain how it should be traduced in the music.

I decided to be part of the collaboration we had the opportunity to have with music students from UdM or McGill and I worked with an extremely patient compositor who did a lot of music versions for my film. I had a lot of requests and I asked him to change a lot of things because I did't know where to go and wanted to explore many avenues. I had the chance to professionally record the last version of the music in a recording studio and it was a very exiting experience! The sound was very beautiful but still, I had the feeling that something didn't fit perfectly with my project. Finally, near the end of the process, I have been in touch with another composer and I found exactly what I was looking for. 

FOLEY

I wanted to record my own foley because I think that it gives a more personal feeling to the movie. Every sound is customized to fit perfectly to the action and the film environment. I had the chance to have a free access to a foley recording studio and I would be a fool not to use it! I was performing each sound while my coworker, Tia Joseph, was recording everything. She did an excellent job!

SOUND MIX

I had the chance to be teamed with Tim Horlor for the final sound mix an he did an amazing job. I realized that 1h30 was a very short amount of time to go through all the tracks! He added some effects on the sounds and it made a beautiful difference.
