The film integrates a variety of Shawn's music, sourcing concerts and performances from all around the world. A large challenge on this mix was to create seamless transitions between the songs to create a smooth edit that connected the various scences together. The stitching was done with a variety of treatment to the tracks to achieve a cohesive feel to the music, as if the show was all being performed at once, all around the world. In addition to this, it was important to us that Shawn's voice felt as sonorous as possible. Vocal treatments can be tricket, but we did our best to have the interview with Shawn live on top of the mix whilst avoiding any type of VOG nuance.

Sound design for this piece was minimal, but important overall to maintain cohesion throughout. The audience is taken to so many different locations all over the world through the film, it was important to have a sonic character that lived through to tie it all together. This wasn't accomplished by using the same sounds over and over again, rather, utilizing composites of sounds unique to the location/ scene and designing them all in a similar way. Less was more, but no less powerful in it's relationship to the footage.
