Barrett SF has been doing some incredible work for video game producer Ubisoft. This spot introduces the next chapter in the Assassin's Creed franchise with motion-capture animation, breathtaking fight scenes and a cinematic score that is sure to motivate the game's fan base. The mix for this spot was built on over 100 separate audio tracks! We received very thorough sound design and music stems to balance out. I added some additional sound design for our taste, and had to execute some clever music edits. The dialog lip-sync was a challenge as well but in the end, the spot looks and sounds incredible. We got a write up with full credits in The Next Gag. Interestingly, the spot I actually mixed for Barrett was a full :60, which was later cut down to the :45 that ended up being broadcast.
