For this film we were briefed to create a strong sound narrative around the idea of the two contrasting worlds of F1: the calmness of the factory and vicerarel intensity, or storm, of the car engine.

We wanted it to tap into very human reactions of suspense on the grid, the increase in heart rate and the intake of breath before the race starts, this was built into the fabric of the sound design.

We contrasted the world of the lab with intense racing sounds that built tension and momentum. After a pause, the storm of the race is ‘unleashed’. For the racing sounds we worked with supplied F1 sounds which needed to be amplified for the film.

The piece had to evoke emotion while working without music, with a dynamic build magnifying and showcasing these powerful engines, all with a short turnaround time and deadline.
