Climate Resilience Toolkit Intro

The Climate Resilience Toolkit is an extensive internet resource for community planners across the United States. For coastal planners, critical decisions must be made as oceans rise. For inland cities, how can planners adapt to more frequent droughts, floods, and/or hurricanes?

The CRT was built after a directive by president Barack Obama’s white house. Since 2012, I’ve had the honor of providing post production services for many NOAA videos. The CRT introduction video proved the most challenging, and most fun. I composed and recorded one continuous piece of original music which changes during different scenes, but unites ideas and images throughout the three minute video. 2BruceStudio recorded and edited the announcer, created sound design, and mixed everything together for the final audio. 2BruceStudio provided the final video edits, along with adding b-roll and animations, color grading and all exports for final deliverables.

One Essential Element: From Powwow to Post Production in Asheville (Part Two in a Series)

Music for “Golf” began in the mind of a movie soundtrack aficionado, creative director at Element Advertising, Jack Becker. He heard something relaxed, but driving; friendly, but with a techie edge. After a couple music demos, Bruce Sales finished scoring and mixing music and started the next step – spotting sound effects. Each time a golf club whacked a ball, it required the distinctive sound of a wooden driver, iron driver, putter, or wedge with sand. While wrapping up the “Golf” post production, Bruce discovered a swinging side of Jack. He’s logged many hours, over the years, on the fairway. Sequoia National is one of the most sought after stay & play locations in the Carolinas. With each delightful swing of the club, Jack insisted one must hear a creditable effect. Jack discovered his sound designer would hear it no other way. The extensive sound effects library at 2BruceStudio provided blow-by-blow until the final ball fell, par for the course, in the cup.

Deep Breath, Original Music, and Release

Click for Video

For Keresey Proctor, editing video for the Traveling Yogini Tours started with a song. One of her client’s favorite songs, by Moby. It sounded like a perfect fit during the opening sequence, but quickly stumbled as a confused dance partner. It demanded a slower rhythm, made moves in weird places, and stepped on the picture’s toes. The picture deserved better.

Alternate Moby tracks tried, but stumbled. Only custom music would work.

With a deadline approaching, the director recommended hiring a highly reputable collaborator. The producer contacted Bruce Sales of 2BruceStudio, to score original music and sound design, and deliver the final audio mix for a tight but fair budget. A few soundtrack demos, and two weeks later, hugs and laughs went all around and 2BruceStudio delivered the final audio mix.
