Audio Post Producer, Bob Pomann and Supervising Sound Editor, Justin Kaupp of the Emmy® award-winning Manhattan based audio post house, Pomann Sound, {EST. 1984} completed the mix and sound design for all 20+ episodes of Season 1 of the Apple Original Animated Series, Duck & Goose.
On July 8th, 2022, Apple TV+ kicked off their all-new summer shows with the highly praised animated series, Duck & Goose, as part of their kids’ series lineup. Inspired by the New York Times bestselling books by Tad Hills, the preschool series celebrates the unique friendship of Duck & Goose, two best feathered friends that don’t always see beak to beak.
With a target audience of Pre-K/Kindergarten, an age of easy distraction, Pomann’s approach to the sound was both streamlined and purposeful. The show takes place outdoors in a meadow by a stream. The creative intention was to keep the environment peaceful and serene. Understanding the science behind sound and how it can be manipulated, Kaupp created a lush ambience with character. It is something you may not notice, but will surely feel. To achieve this, he designed a palette of all-natural action sounds, unlike the traditional cartoon sounds. But the biggest challenge still remained, recording the sound and speed of a bird flap.
