Sound Designer for Short Fight Scenes (Short Film) — $200 + IMDB

Posted 2 days ago

Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only

Summary

I’m looking for a sound designer who enjoys action/fight sound design and can also handle dialogue cleanup and a final mix.
This short film has one fight scene (only a few seconds long) that appears three times in the story: one full version, one brief flashback, and one quick PTSD-style repeat.

Even though the fight is short, it needs cinematic impact: layered punches, body hits, clothing movement, shuffling/footsteps, breath, and overall presence.

I also need:

Dialogue improvement (the dialogue is currently muffled and inconsistent due to a previous mix; I need clearer, more natural, more even sound, not just basic EQ)

Two risers strengthened (light cleanup/intensifying; one riser needs the music cut more precisely on the action)

Music cut on the action

Better clarity/separation between dialogue, music, and foley

A cohesive final mix so everything blends smoothly

To be considered:

Send at least one action/fight sound design sample

And/or one dialogue cleanup/restoration sample

Be open to a short 10-second test (paid if hired)

Budget:
$200.00 fixed-price
Includes IMDb credit + on-screen film credit
Perfect for someone who enjoys creative foley and making short action beats feel big.

If you enjoy this kind of work, I’d love to collaborate.
Thanks so much for your interest!
