During the filming session I had the task to recreate some sounds. This task was made after the camera used to shoot the film decided to create its own sounds that disrupt all other sounds that came naturally, such as: birds chirping, tree leaves rustling in the wind, some crunching of leaves.
I decided to find sources that provided high quality sounds which were copyright free. I would have recreate sounds using my phone but the quality of the sounds differed from the sounds my camera would capture.
This is a source I used to implement into my film. A collage of bird sounds to give the feel that we are in a lively part of the woods, before my character appears on screen and starts running: https://orangefreesounds.com/bird-sounds-in-the-summer-garden/
Sounds I can use from the original footage are the crunching of leaves. I simply copy and paste these sounds around the film where necessary. Another sound I that I can use is the morpher's growls which I can create with my own voice while using an application named "Audacity".
Here is a making of:
Original Sound without any effects:
Distortion
List of effects
Messed Around with the speed to give it a long low growl effect.
4 Files using the same audio but using different effects:
The first audio link is the original audio with no effects:
The second audio link uses distortion:
The third audio link also uses distortion but the speed changes to have the sound last longer:
The last audio link I created uses the original audio but in reverse and a bit of echo towards the end:
Why did I create 4 versions?
Different sections of the film will require different versions of the audio. The different sounds will give the morpher a personality. For example the quieter versions of the audio will be used when the morpher is stalking the runner, while the louder audio files will be used during chase and transformation.
