While at SDCC2023, Screen Rant spoke to ImpactWinter creator TravisBeacham about the inspiration for his post-apocalyptic vampire audio drama, Darcy's arc in season 2, and how hw learned to craft action scenes through sound alone:
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Impact Winter, a commit plunges Earth into darkness, and an endless winter, vampires rise and humans scatter to hide underground. A band of survivors hiding out in a medieval castle fallout shelter in the British countryside starts to form a resistance.
I think what I liked about it initially and what really made it catch fire in my imagination was that I loved the mixing of fantasy and sci-fi elements. I feel like in a lot of especially modern vampire things, you see them as this disease or this mutation, which is cool. But what I really, really liked was Bram Stoker's Dracula, the Coppola one, where it's unclear what the scope of his powers are. It's like, "He's a wolf. He's a bat person.
Travis Beacham: I don't know that there was anything I really wanted to stay away from. I did want to keep a bit of a distance and had to stop myself from explaining them too much because I do come at things from, I think, more of a sci-fi mindset. And I think turning that off and letting things be mysterious and letting things, like, "Oh, I don't want to explain this too much. I don't want to make them too biological.
Whereas in another series, you might have very purposeful sounds, like a door creaking or footsteps or a phone ringing. All those are very isolated and very identifiable. I wanted Impact Winter to be bristling with sounds, some of which you could identify, some of which you couldn't. But that all felt like part of the sound design of a film, and in doing that, we got a film sound team. They don't usually do radio stuff or audio stuff. They usually do sound design for movies and TV shows.
[There’s also] her younger sister, who was quite the opposite of Darcy and had spent most of her life in this bunker. She’s grown up and become a teenager in this bunker, never seeing the sky, never being around more than however many hundred people were there. She’s now had to step in to fill in her sister's shoes as a defender of that community. In season 2, we'll get to see her stepping into those shoes and seeing how she handles it differently from her sister.
But this, again, is a thing that's happened across the world. The Impact Winter is impacting the entire globe, and I think the fun of Season Two is that we get to expand that, and we get to leave this nest that we spent so much time in, in Season One. We get to go up north and find out what the Vampire Resistance is doing. We get to go down south, into the hub of vampire politics, where the ruling class is and all their machinations.
And so our first prequel comic was set a few years before the series begins, still after the winter, but a few years before the series begins. And in this latest one to come out, we get to go all the way back. It tells the story of one of the main characters, who's a vampire, and it goes all the way back to Roman Britain, so way, way back. And I just thought that was a fun turn, and an unexpected turn in a post-apocalypse, to veer left and be like, "Let's go way back into history.
Travis Beacham: I do a lot of genre writing for screen, and always there's this thing that you have to do, where you have action scenes. I'm not a big fan of writing action scenes. I love watching them, but they're tedious to write, because you're just like, "I'm going to write this," and then the stunt coordinator is just going to come in, and the director's going to come in, and they're going to do their own thing anyway.
