Your Animations Already Have a Soundtrack ft. Joe Basile (Ep. 31)
Saison 4 · Épisode 31
samedi 18 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:00:55
Most motion designers add sound design at the very end of a project. But Joe Basile, aka The Chicken, says it should start at the very beginning. And once you hear why, the sequencing is hard to unsee.
In this episode of the Styleframe Saturdays podcast, we sit down with award-winning sound designer and composer Joe Basile to explore what happens when audio and motion design collide from the very beginning of a project. Joe breaks down and reveals the sonic philosophy behind his Favorite Mix, including a technique borrowed directly from The Shawshank Redemption to transition music from non-diegetic to diegetic sound.
From finding rhythm hidden inside an animation before a single note is played, to knowing exactly when to bring a sound designer into the room, this conversation will shift how you hear your own work.
