The Orphanage – Sound Design reel
“…Little sounds are the hallmark of this movie. Sounds grow bigger as the main character, Laura, falls deeper into madness. J.A. Bayona said it clearly: “I want this movie to sound like wood”. And that’s what we made it sound like. Under that premise, we built the sound world of The Orphanage, always based on a realistic and austere tone. The Orphanage is a pure thriller, it is pure drama….”
