I keep doing sound design exercises by re-designing visuals found around the web. Last time it was rockets and marsmachine, so this time i wanted to try something mystic and fragile to recreate.
Well, without any words, check out my video if you will have a time and possibly give me your criticism about motion, sounds together, anything you will find to mention there.
Cheers
Watched it once, first impressions:
Keep up the creative work!
I liked it. I want to hear it in 5.1!
My initial question was if you synthesized those sounds, but then I figured that was a dumb question. How did you synthesize the wind whips - was it a sound you recorded then edited in place/sync, or sound that you synthesized/composed to picture?
Nice work! I thought it sounded great and was very polished. I liked the detail in the sounds, and they were very cohesive with the visuals.
My only constructive criticism would be that the light trails/wooshes do sound quite synthesized, and I think they could be improved by a more organic treatment - perhaps layering in a more natural element, or applying some processing with EQ, harmonic enhancement or a touch of reverb.
great work!
my only suggestion is to add some sub frequencies cause i found bottom end to be a little empty!
either way! great work! what did you use to make the basic "theme" sound?
I always think it's such a great exercise to take videos off the web and recreate your own sound design to them. Overall I think you did great job with the piece. The mood ambience gives couldn't have been better for this. It has a mysterious sort of feel to it. Like Nikos mentioned I would add a little bit more low end to give the sparking lights a bit more heft when they're whizzing by.
very nice work. very clean and detailed.
Loved the gritty initial texture of the sparks, and the cleaner resolution of the tails. I think they work very well together.
panning and sync were all perfect.
I also like the background textures, though I think I'd like to hear some wood or forest in addition to the pad, though that's entirely a stylistic thing.
The only critique I have is when the "five" breaks up at :19 I'd like it to tie in more with the established spark sounds and maybe have another low end poof-y event there. that's pretty minor though, very nice work.
added several improvements based on your suggestions guys - now it sounds more serious and heavy... but still transparent enough. it is kind of 'cinematic' sound design now, especially compaired to the original which is:
My second version is still under that link.
BTW - I am prepairing my portfolio for the admission at the university, and hoping to make several works containing this one...
