I know it&#8217;s easy to get basic recordings like a door closing or some footsteps. But there are also those weird sounds that can be hard to create like thunder or steps in the snow (unless it snows anytime soon). I found different sites and videos that can help you if you need an out-of-the-ordinary sound for your assignment.<\/p>\n<p>During my research, I also learned about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marblehead.net\/foley\/index.html\">Foley Artists<\/a>, the people who create the sounds we hear in movies and television shows. They create these sounds with a lot of props including shoes, plates, and car benders. While I was reading through their site, I thought it sounded super familiar so I went on YouTube and was able to find a video of some Foley Artists creating effects. It&#8217;s a little long for some people&#8217;s standards but it&#8217;s still interesting. (I recommend opening and watching the video on a different tab so you can see all of it).<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U_tqB4IZvMk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Here are some sound effect tips.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videomaker.com\/article\/c9\/3186-homemade-sound-effects-with-big-budget-impact\">Videomaker<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;<b>Rain<\/b> Sprinkle rice, birdseed or coarse sand on a metal sheet or other thin surface.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<b>Thunder<\/b> Flex or jiggle a large sheet of aluminum.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<b>Frying<\/b> Touch wet rags to a hot surface (stove burner).&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;<b>Fire<\/b> Crunch cellophane wrap or wax paper.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>&#8220;Footfalls in snow<\/b> Step down on cornstarch or cat litter.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>&#8220;Footfalls in leaves<\/b> Crunch corn flakes or potato chips with your feet or hands.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>&#8220;Clothing rustle<\/b> Rub different types of fabrics together.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>&#8220;Water<\/b> Stir a pan of water with your hand, or use a kiddie swimming pool for &#8220;larger&#8221; water sounds.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><b>&#8220;Slap<\/b> Clap two thin boards together, or clap wet hands together.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also, here is &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicsound.com\/sfx\/\">The Guide To Sound Effects<\/a>,&#8221; a forum-like site where people shared their own tips on creating sound effects for lots and lots of things.
