SCORE & FINAL MIX
For the action sequences we utilised quite a dark and percussion-led palette. The main spaceship battle required detailed work to ensure the key moments were supported by the score. For more emotional and suspenseful moments we used a combination of orchestral strings, brass and synthesis.
Sound Desisgn was by Alan Keogh, using a combination of classic Star Wars sounds and original material. As dubbing mixer our role was to balance all the elements - dialogue, music, and effects - in a way that made most sense and guided the viewer through the story.
SYNOPSIS
Set during the Rogue One / Andor timeline, in episode two we see an Imperial Base Station undergoing repeated Battleship attacks. Havoc spreads amongst the ranks of the defenders with many of them developing PTSD. We learn about some of the stories behind the masks of the Stormtroopers, revealing a surprisingly relatable core.
