This week I did my investigation on audio and sound effects for movies and films. Sound effects are used to enhance the quality and auditory experience of the movie. It is sometimes difficult to find a good sound effect from a pre-recorded soundbank to imitate an object in the movie, which is why foley artists are mainly in charge of creating the sound effects that we hear in movies today.
One of the coolest jobs in the film industry that requires a deep knowledge of sound, music, and rhythm belongs to artists in charge of "Foley." Sound is extremely important in creating an immersive experience for the viewers. A foley artist is someone who recreates sounds for film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance the audio quality. They replace sounds that can not be properly recorded on set, things such as the swishing of clothing, the breaking of glass, or footsteps. They use a variety of props to create specific sounds, for example, footsteps are created by the artist tapping some type of shoe on a surface like wood or concrete.
In this video, Marko Costanzo walks us through the behind the scenes of how he made the sound effects for some of the movies that he has worked on. In the video, you can see that he mainly uses objects to mimic the sounds and rarely ever uses his voice.
When I went to research for more ways on how to create sound effect, I found a video of a person putting a collage of videos together to make one sound:
This video is something closer to what I would use in my project because it is based off of a horror game. The person uses a collection of various instruments and objects to imitate the horrific noise.
Another video that I saw was this video of people showing how to create foley sound effects:
This video is helpful to me because before seeing this, I had no idea how I could recreate the horror sound effects since I did not have the amount of equipment like the previous person. However, this video shows you how to create sound effects with things that people probably already have at home, such as a plastic straw and cup, and a fruit. I am not sure what types of sound I want to incorporate in my video yet, but I will definitely use this tutorial to guide me through the way.
After going through the Themes in Art pdf, the theme that I'm going to explore and focus on this year is going to be the concept of Art and Fantasy. I chose this theme because I believe that there are many different ways that you can display fantasy through videos because of how broad and diverse of a genre that it is. A couple of examples being an individual vs society, man vs nature, good vs evil, etc. Another reason why I’m choosing the topic of fantasy is because it is one of my favorite genres of films to watch, from Studio Ghibli classics to folktales and traditional motifs. Fantasy is a super limitless topic and you can create basically anything out of it with your imagination. I’ve had an interest in digital art ever since the start of middle school, and I’ve had a lot of experience from graphic designing to video editing. This was also around the same time when I discovered fandoms on Instagram that created fan edits out of anime and kpop. Watching these videos inspired ...
Since I finished my Five Nights at Freddy's inspired video, I have decided to move on to a different project. However, due to the amount of time that we have left in the school year, I want to work on something small and simple. Whenever brainstorming for ideas, I thought of doing a "customize your character" where I would draw a character and make it seem like someone is changing their appearance and outfits. This is usually what people do when they start a new game that requires them to customize their personal character. An example of it would look something like this. However, I would obviously put my own twist and style on it. The art style that I want to use will also be inspired by the mobile game called "Animal Restaurant." The appearance of the art style looks very simple and clean, which is exactly what I want to go for when drawing my character. At the beginning, I will also include a title screen just like my other previous projects to make it seem ...
Investigation: Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created on a pixel level. The aesthetic for these kinds of art come from 8-bit and 16-bit video games. An example of a pixel art would be this picture: Instead of having round edges, the image looks like it is created by using small squares. To incorporate pixel art into my video, I want to create pixelated objects on photoshop to use in my video. To do the is, I have found a few youtube videos that will guide me through the process. Work Log: Monday: I had trouble exporting my image as a png from photoshop because when I resized the image, it decreased the resolution of my pixel art. Tuesday: I found a fix to my problem from Tuesday and successfully exported my image. I then went on youtube to find some video game sound effects and came across this video. It has a lot of different 8-bit gaming sounds that I can use in my video. Wednesday: I worked on my video in after effects Thursday: I worked on my video in afte...
