2. Warbird: Goodtime Charlie

Warbird: Goodtime Charlie is a cinematic historical filmfocused on WWII aerial combat, cockpit drama, and vintage mechanical aviation.

Full-Length Audio Creation & Engineering: CANDLe engineered, designed, and mixed the entire audio spectrum for the second hour of the feature film from scratch, rebuilding every soundscape, weapon response, ambient cue, and engine roar around original vocal performances.
-
Mechanical & Aviation Re-Engineering: Following the success of the second half, CANDLe was brought back to re-engineer key mechanical and aviation sequences in the first half.
-
Blueprint Acoustic Synthesis: Because original flight audio for historic aircraft engines was limited or degraded, CANDLe analyzed technical engine manuals, RPM specifications, and mechanical blueprints to synthesize realistic engine rumblings, propeller whine, and cockpit vibrations from the ground up.
