Hitch – Sound Design

“Hitch” by HW Collective (Sophie Hexter and Poppy Walker) is a beautiful film about a young boy. Recreating the entire soundscape of this haunting and beautifully created film was so fun. Running around, jumping on fences, finding bits of metal to scratch and bash together, digging holes in the back yard, etc. It was especially interesting that in this film we needed to create a ‘deaf’ soundscape. How does deafness sound without being cliche?
