Sound Design
 

Greetings & Salutations, 

 My name is Maxwell Taylor Olson, student of the audio engineer program at Full Sail University.

 This month the dream was to create and craft appropriate and  seamless ambient loops, in addition to fitting and trim one shots. With the overall themes consisting of a variety of core sound design tenants mixed with specific thematic ideas in mind ranging from, but not limited to health power ups and game objects, Interactable objects such as buttons, and levers. Environmental sound design for an active river of molten lava, creating complex sound design for a black hole, and designing the firing of a photon cannon and its ensuing impact and explosion. 

 With the only limitation of creation being my own imagination, I truly had the world at my finger tips. Implementing a variety of techniques spanning from field recording, to Foley design, to creating and crafting via synthesizers and patches, to working through multiple DAW programs, to running everything through wwise, and all the post production, mixing, and mastering that you could think of. Now what I present to you is a demo reel that highlights my fruits of this months labor. Integrating ingenuity, education, and application. To expand the mind is a beautiful thing.

I hope you enjoy it all as much as I have,

Thank you.
