Our role
Immersive sound design // Spatial Audio Mix

From the moment we first encountered the animation, it was clear that sound would play a crucial role in bringing “Roxy” to life.

The production posed a unique challenge: blending educational content about technology with a heartfelt narrative. By carefully designing the robot’s voice, mapping dialogue in immersive 3D space, and emphasizing spatial audio cues, we were able to make every interaction feel believable and engaging. Audience feedback highlighted how the dialogue mapping elevated the film, showing that thoughtful spatial audio can transform an animated story into a truly immersive experience for audiences of all ages.

The mapping is amazing – I’m so used to “dialogue center” that it’s almost magical hearing it follow.
