Iโ€˜m glad to give you a quick recap about how the Film Audio Faceoff 2025 went over at Airwiggles: We were really pleased with how it turned out โ€“ it was awesome seeing so many of you get involved and share your entries. If you need a reminder of what it was all about: Entrants were given a video with no sound, and they had to design the soundscape for the video themselves โ€“ more details in the trailer below:
