Gum — Sound Design

Sound design and audio post for “Gum”, a short animation — playful, tactile and built entirely from recorded and synthesised texture.

“Gum” is driven by stretch, snap and squelch, so the design leans hard into foley — everything is performed to picture and then shaped until it reads as animation rather than reality.

Rhythm carries the comedy here: hits are placed on the frame the movement lands, with pitch and tempo bending to follow the character's energy.

The mix keeps the texture bright and forward while leaving space for the quieter beats to breathe.
