NEED FOR SPEED UNBOUND
Role: Audio Designer
There were many areas of this project that I had the opportunity to work on. In pre-production, I was responsible for pushing & prototyping our Passby systems with the inclusion of overhead passbys, developing our "Samples" feature (adding additional sound design layers to most aspects of the cars audio), help establish our more cinematic approach to the overall mix & much more.
​
Towards the end of production, I was responsible for setting & executing the aesthetic for the "Tags" feature, the new stylised visual components for the franchise such as Drifting & Burst Nitrous. I was also responsible for various UI throughout the game, trying to piece together the aesthetic of the varying interfaces such as Cops, Menus & Game modes e.g. Takeovers & Delivery missions.
Below you can view my showreel for the project, mainly highlighting my contributions to Tags & Cops.
