When it comes to movies, I rarely watch one a second time… but last weekend Annihilation came to mind for some reason and I remember being completely immersed during the Lighthouse scene, immersed in a way that messed me up for days, the only movie that’s managed to that before was End of Evangelion…
I got my wife to watch it with me even though she’s no a sci fi fan, but during this scene I heard her gasping “music is so important” and yeah, I couldn’t agree more.
The music and sound design in the particular scene really does the leg work. It is honestly a masterpiece.
Let’s share some inspiring sound design in movies!
