How Realistic Sound Makes ‘Weapons’ Even Scarier – with Luciano Vignola and Filipe Messeder

Sound supervisor/re-recording mixer Luciano Vignola and sound designer/re-recording mixer Filipe Messeder share their experience of creating realistic, disturbing sound for director Zach Cregger’s hit horror film ‘Weapons.’ Vignola and Messeder talk about their unique ‘contraption’ (called the Rumbler), which was used to create rattle layers for the end chase scene. They talk about their approach to panning foley, designing intricate reverbs to highlight the emptiness of spaces, working with the foley team to create believable gore, and much more!
