In this tutorial we'll be doing sound design on a mechanical swan animation! We'll get our sound effects from Soundly, and we'll be using Davinci Resolve to layer, edit and put together the audio.

Join the Sound Design Challenge: discord.gg/polyfjord

Software used:
Davinci Resolve: blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Soundly: getsoundly.com

My asset pack I used to make the Mechanical Swan:
