Cyrus Sales, Thanks so much for sharing this! Sound design really is one of those invisible arts that can completely change how a scene feels without the audience even realizing why. One “cheat code” I love is using very subtle, low-frequency rumbles under tense scenes, even when there’s no obvious reason for it, just to build subconscious unease. It’s amazing how much emotional weight you can add with just a few well-placed sounds. Definitely going to check out the video you shared!

Ashley Renee Smith Totally agree! That low-end rumble trick is gold—it messes with your emotions in the best way without the audience even realizing it. It’s crazy how just a few subtle sounds can completely shift the mood of a scene. I think we often times forget how crucial audio is especially with it being at the end of the process. I like to joke and ask people how often do they watch silent movies lol leaves them puzzle but gets the point across of how important audio is.
