Soundrangers Designs the Sound for new Harry Potter PC Game, Prisoner of Azkaban
Innovative sound company chosen to develop sound for the new Harry Potter video
game
SEATTLE, WA - May 5, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Soundrangers
(www.Soundrangers.com), known for their unique online sound library and game
audio expertise, was chosen to do the sound design for the newest Harry Potter
game, "Prisoner of Azkaban." Specializing in creating sound for interactive
formats such as games and Web sites, Soundrangers had the creativity and
experience that the game's developer, KnowWonder, was looking for to engage in
the latest installment of the Harry Potter video game series.
Developing sound for the Harry Potter game required a balanced blend of
creativity and technical know-how. Utilizing Epic's Unreal engine, the sound
environment was created using a mix of custom sound design work and effects from
Soundrangers' original library of material to capture the essence of the Potter
universe.
Creatures, environmental ambience and magic were all developed using the J.K.
Rowling book as a guideline while working within the confines of the interactive
gaming environment. Production took place at the Soundrangers headquarters in
Seattle where the majority of sound effects were created from scratch and
implemented using the Unreal technology.
Soundrangers is a Seattle-based company that specializes in developing custom
game audio for PC, console games, and the Web. Clients include Amaze
Entertainment, Microsoft Game Studios, Electronic Arts, and Smashing Ideas.
Soundrangers also operates a downloadable audio library that hosts thousands of
original, royalty-free sound effects and music loops. These sounds are available
directly via Soundrangers' Web site where they
can be purchased individually and downloaded in multiple file formats.
