Now Boarding! Clark Baker’s SciFi Short Vessel

Empty Sea recently completed a full audio post package for Clark Baker’s SciFi short Vessel, including sound design, foley editorial and a 5.1 mix. The film features some incredibly inspiring images that were absolutely a joy to create sound for. Vessel also features the music of the immensely talented composer Austin Wintory, with whom we were privileged to be working beside. Empty Sea would like to thank Clark for the opportunity to be a part of this film and wish him the best of luck!

“VESSEL is a very ambitious scifi / horror short in the vein of Alien, The Thing and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. VESSEL features a blend of old school, practical creature effects and slick, modern day VFX. The story focuses on Liberty Airlines’ Flight 298 and its passengers. Shortly after takeoff, the passengers encounter an otherworldly force and are thrown into a fight for their lives!” Click here to watch the film in HD on Vimeo.
