The Sound of Metal
Year: 2023
A heavy metal drummer’s life is turned upside down when he begins to lose his hearing and he must confront a future filled with silence. Released in November 2020 and Directed by Darius Marder.
The idea was to match the tone of the characters feelings as he navigates losing his hearing. It is reminiscent of a personal diary as we flip through the pages to reveal the story of what happened to him as well as how he felt about it.
Below, that same story comes to life through the use of expressive typography and immersive sound elements from the movie. This motion trailer is crafted to build anticipation, merging visual and auditory storytelling to evoke the emotions and themes central to the film. Each typographic element is meticulously animated to capture the intensity, rhythm, and essence of the characters emotions, while the sound design amplifies the impact, drawing viewers into the narrative world. This fusion of text and sound forms a dynamic piece that serves as more than just a preview—it acts as an engaging invitation that heightens excitement for the full cinematic experience.
