Sound Design

Production company: Nordisk Film
Directors: Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg

An epic retelling of Thor Heyerdahl’s legendary Pacific expedition, where fragile craftsmanship meets the vast power of the open ocean.

The sound design emphasizes the raw elements surrounding the raft — wind, waves, wood, and rope — creating a tactile sense of survival and isolation. Detailed environmental textures and dramatic ocean dynamics place the audience directly on the drifting vessel.

The mix balances intimate human moments with the scale and danger of the sea, building a cinematic soundscape that reinforces both adventure and vulnerability.
