The music for the Betfred Super League advert was briefed to be something cinematic but “modern-sounding”. So for this I did a hybrid orchestral and electronic track to create a moody ‘drama-like’ soundtrack.
The video was given with no audio except for the “In 1895 at the George Hotel…” speech, so I included some sound design elements in this as well. This involved a few sighs and grunts I did in place of the rugby players, stamping on my wooden floor at home for the sound of the stairs and more inventive synthesis elements for things like the exercise bike and car noises.
