Sound Design & Mixing
This Little Piggy is an Australian independent feature film directed by Tristan Barr. I was commissioned to complete the sound design and final sound mix for the film, working closely with the director to shape the audio landscape across the entire feature.
The project involved translating the film’s emotional tone and narrative tension into a cohesive sound world, balancing realism with subtle stylisation. From early sound concepts through to final delivery, sound was treated as a narrative tool rather than a purely technical layer.
The work spanned several weeks of focused sound development and mixing, refining the film’s sonic detail scene by scene.
The approach prioritised restraint and clarity. Rather than over-designing the soundtrack, the focus was on supporting performance, pacing, and atmosphere. Sound was used to enhance tension and emotional weight without drawing attention away from the story.
Careful attention was given to spatial balance, dynamic range, and continuity, ensuring the mix translated well across cinema screenings and digital formats.
The completed film premiered internationally and went on to screen at multiple film festivals worldwide. The sound design and mix supported the film’s tone and pacing, contributing to its reception on the international festival circuit.
