Sound design for the video was very
important, and it needed to include the voiced narrative, appropriate
background music, and even a few sound effects to highlight some of
the moments. An explosion, the hum of a cyberweapon, and the sound of
loud metal clanking were a few of the sound effects I inserted under
the soundtrack and narrative. The musical soundtrack itself needed to
feel like scifi music, but I also wanted it to convey a sense of
urgency and excitement. Using a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW), I
composed a very upbeat, exciting piece of music that sounded like
something you might dance to at a rave. I used an assortment of
synthesized sounds that evoked a scifi atmosphere, and assembled
everything with multiple layers. I then had to time some of the
pulses to what was happening in the video (and vice versa) for
emphasis. Finally, I had to adjust the volume levels of all these
parts, making sure the music didn't drown out the narrative and the
sound effects could still be heard over the music.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
