A sound redesign of a scene from the film Yojimbo (1961), directed by Akira Kurosawa. I recorded and designed all of the sound you hear aside from the dialogue. A friend of mine suggested that I try my hand at a sword fighting scene, so I chose my favorite Kurosawa film.

I wanted to use this project to practice focus in my mixing, highlighting information and sound elements for emotional effect. I also now have some cool gore recordings of knives and fruits.
