WrestleMania 37 Cold Open! 🎉 This was an exciting project held in Tampa, Florida. 🌴 The creative branding was themed around a pirate ship 🏴☠️, and I had a great time working on the sound design. I incorporated effects such as cannons blasting 💥, waves crashing 🌊, and the crowd erupting in unison 🥳. It was an exhilarating experience! My responsibilities included audio editing, processing, timeline assembly, voice recording, and mixing 🎧. I am very proud of the final result! 🌟
