Metroid Other M Cutscene
This is a cutscene of Metroid Other M with my original sound design. There is no music only to show my sound design skills on a cutscene.
​
Compared to my other projects, I tried to go with a more Sci-Fi direction to test my techniques.
​
I love the Metroid series with it's seriousness and intense energy. This complex cutscene is a great tribute to Super Metroid and Samus's willpower.
Metroid other M - Original Sound Design
About this project
I chose to rework a cutscene from a game I played years ago. To ensure my sound design was not influenced by the original, I intentionally avoided re-watching the video. My only recollection was that it originally featured music. This approach allowed me to develop a fresh and original sound design while preserving the scene’s essence.
Core Ideas
Ui and weapon
Every sound in this video has been carefully edited and customized. I recreated iconic sounds from the Metroid Prime series, adding my own personal touch to them, as I'm very familiar with the originals.
Crafting Metroid’s unique UI sounds is always a rewarding process, blending a distinctly sci-fi vibe with a rounder, more refined tone for a sophisticated effect.
Voice Acting
The Metroid
I had the privilege of doing some voice acting for a friend of mine, an exceptional singer, who bears a striking resemblance to Samus' original voice actor.
To enhance the performance, I added an effect to simulate speech inside Samus’ futuristic helmet. When Samus regains her energy before charging her arm cannon, I amplified the voice to give it more impact and presence.
​
For the Metroid itself (the floating creature), I wanted to stay true to its iconic sound from the series, while adding a smoother texture to emphasize its organic nature, as it’s not a robotic entity.
