SOUNDSCAPE
Animation and Art Direction for SOUNDSCAPE directed byTimmy ONeill and produced by Sarah Steele and Well Travelled Collective .
‘Soundscape shares the sightless experience of climbing a mountain via echo location, touch and imagination. Soundscape features Erik Weihenmayer, a global adventure athlete and author who is fully blind, as he ascends a massive alpine rock face deep in the Sierra Nevada.‘
It was a huge honor to be entrusted with the challenge of bringing Erik’s inner experience to the screen through animation. I’m immensely grateful to Mitch Pond for jumping on board for this one and helping bring Timmy’s concept to life.
SOUNDSCAPE premiered on Saturday, May 27th 2023 at the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, CO with future screenings to be announced. More info here!
