The mysterious Amulet
Award-winning animated visitor film for the Hohe Tauern National Park.
My tasks: sound design, mixing
The film was intended not only to entertain visitors to the Hohe Tauern National Park, but also to bring them closer to the beauty and fragility of the local nature. From a sound design perspective, this meant creating the most authentic and immersive sound experience possible.
Therefore, special care was taken to use only animal and nature sounds typical of the environment.
This lovingly and passionately produced animated film combines 3D animation with classic hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation. The film has won several awards, including first place at the Corporate Media & TV Awards in Cannes.
