Creating an Animated Short VLOG 6: Sound FX
By
HERE IT IS!.. the VLOG on sound effects! I hope you got some use out of this one.
As you can probably tell this is great part of the process. It’s a lot of fun to break sounds down into parts and build them back up using household items… I feel like MacGyver if he were a foley artist.
As with all recordings, you want to keep your eye on the input meter to make sure you’re not clipping when recording your sound effects. Once you’ve cut them up, arrange them to the animatic but remember that these are rough placements so do a good job but don’t obsess over it because they’ll fall into place when you start doing the animation.
What I said at the end is true, if you don’t at least try to tidy your office after recording sound effects you will be struggling with motivation the next day.
Also, I’m going to wait until I have at least 50 people on my e-mail subscriber list until I post my first trivia question + prize so if you want to participate don’t forget to subscribe (even if you already follow my stuff)!
Thanks and I’ll see you all for the NEXT one on MUSIC!

@ApertureJam yea it’s a lot of fun doing these and i find that you have more control if you record exactly what you want instead of sifting through a library. if you do decide to do all the sfx in-house for your next short post a link in the comments section of my website so i can see/hear!

The Squishy FX are truly disgusting, good on you for making this cartoon entirely by yourself. In the past I have recorded some ambient noise but turned to downloading pre-recorded foley.
I’m definitely tempted to record it all myself in the future.
Cheers.
