Foley and sound design recorded and synthesized in Pro Tools and Ableton Live. The foley was recorded partially at my home studio (the breaths, clothing/suit sounds), and then partly at Northwestern University's Louis Hall Film Soundstage (gravel footsteps). I used Ableton Live's Granulator II and Wavetable synth for the sound design of the crystal, automating the wavetable position and automating the filter's resonance to create interesting harmonic moments. The monster sounds were created by taking animal sounds and other provocative samples (knife on metal, thunder) and putting them through various effects processing -- most notably pitch-shifting them down. The plumes of encroaching smoke are low-passed thunder and waves, and near the end are a combination of rising white noise and wind samples put through Ableton's Hybrid Reverb. For the ambiances, I took samples from inside a cave to suggest creature-activity in the background. I tried not to create too much background noise, as I thought the silence evoked an ominous feeling.
