This document discusses research into creating professional and believable sound effects. It focuses on the EpicSound website, which provided techniques, previews, and YouTube clips that gave a better idea of the outcome of different sound effects than other sites. Useful information included a YouTube tutorial on making realistic stabbing and slashing sounds for a film project and a channel offering other Foley effect tutorials.
2. FOLEY EFFECT RESEARCH
After a look around Google for guides and
tutorials on how to make professional and
believable sound effects/clips we found a
couple of sights, however the one I'm
going to be focusing on is EpicSound.com.
Epic Sound gave us a platform to find all
sorts of interesting techniques and
previews of outcome from linked YouTube
Clips. This was great as a lot of the other
sights just told you how to do the effect
but this one actually gave you some idea
of the outcome of the work you would be
putting in.
3. USEFUL INFORMATION
• We searched YouTube for "Foley Stabbing Tutorial" and found the video "Kung Fu Cabbage - Foley
Friday 2" this shows us how to create the realistic stabbing and slashing Foley sound effects we will be
needing for the production of our OTS as well as how to conduct Foley correctly (For example tips on
removing background noise and unwanted static)
• The YouTube channel this video was on ("sonictechtonic") Also offers other types of Foley tutorials so if
we do need to amend or add some extra sound for dramatic effect we can go back and reference this
channel.
