It’s Christmas Eve in Australia. It’s hot, the atmosphere is still, and the bush landscape is alive with Aussie critters singing their evening songs as the red sun sets over the hills, promising another hot day tomorrow.
In Australia, our Christmas looks a bit different to the typical winter-themed Christmas ambience videos featuring cosy fireplaces, warm drinks and white blankets of snow outside. I wanted to show you what a Christmas evening looks like in Australia. In Australia, Christmas Day sees people gathering for a backyard barbecue, or a long lunch; flocking to the beach, rivers and parks to enjoy the company of family and friends; or sheltering indoors in our air conditioning to escape the heat.
This is an accurate soundscape featuring a typical, summer hot Aussie evening in the bush, where you can hear cicadas, magpies and the unique sound of our Kookaburras (~1:50).
Wishing a Merry Christmas to you all, wherever you are in the world!

🏝️ * How I make these videos *
You can watch the process behind one of my videos here:
All of my videos are completely original and made from scratch. They take weeks to produce and are completed in different stages.
I create my 3D scenes in VUE — sculpting terrains, sourcing materials, modelling items, and placing them into the scene, adjusting lighting, angles, and other effects.
Once I’ve rendered the scene, I might use compositing techniques and other adjustments in Adobe Photoshop to add in new features. Then, I import it into Adobe After Effects, where I bring the scene to life with various animations and effects.
Next, I create a soundscape specifically for the atmosphere by combining several sounds together using a sound mixer, which involves applying various settings and adjustments.
Finally, everything is put together with video editing software and uploaded here for you to enjoy!
