    People don't give sound designers enough credit. Like with movies, sound design is everything. If your movie has horrible sound design, it'll take me out of the film. The illusion is enhanced with good sound design and these people deserve a lot of praise for their work.

      foley artists and sound designers are the most underrated part of movie making and probably the second most important part....sound is what makes it believable

      I had NO idea that pretty much sound in a movie is added in after the fact. I just didn't know. Fascinating.

      i was on a video about the remaster of AOE2, many nostalgic fanboys say the og are better , while i replied the og were clumsily composed with weird sororities and the new ones were more medieval sounding, and then there's an idiotic guy who came to annoy me . he said that just cause he's a "composer" the og would be made with better talent, which is just plain stupid. he don't tell us how for which studio he worked so i assume he passed himself for a troll with a big vocabulary, with technical words. if he was a composer , he's then incapable to distinguish his own style to decent instrumentation. this was enough for him to get thumbs by naive fanboys. that's why i despise audio designers since then. i dunno why i tell you this but it's very present on my mind.

    People think it's easy but all you see in this video is someone being told to do something when everything is already setup for him. You have to be hella creative to even think of how they picked which sound is perfect or what objects they found and experimented with to find the right sound. It takes a lot of time, creativity and hard work.

    This is my dream job! To put sound in a movie like wind, the crackling of fire etc and make it sound like it is actually happening is the ultimate producers test.... There's no subjectivity like in music, as in it's not opinion based, you cant say something is good based on your taste... You either make it sound real or you don't....

    "sound design"
    For Video editor's is : this foley stuff
    For music composers: all that waves, eq, compression etc
    One term, two meanings

    • @anshuljain8515
      @anshuljain8515 3 года назад +1

      Not to sound like an annoying pedant(which I am coming across as), but sound design for musicians tend to be more about synths or adding something tonal. EQ and compression are more of the mixing tools for us.

    This video was fantastic. My goal is to become a Foley Artist but, even though I hate to admit it, I fear that my visual impairment might get in my way. I always have proven myself in any challenge I face despite my visual impairment but this time, this time I don't know. I thought I could become a Foley Artist because I recognize different sounds that some people may not. And that's not due to me having a better sense of hearing but instead due to me using my ears more than sighted people have to. So I believed Foley Artist was the perfect job. Mind sharing your take on this?

      It is harder than people think. They make it look easy here because theyre pros and theyre guiding him. You have to be a well-rounded audio engineer to be a Foley artist and sound designer, certainly if you work alone as a freelancer with no one else around to help you. Being creative is the hardest part. Many times you have to find an alternative way to create a sound because recording the real thing often doesnt work. You have to be very frequency aware; what do I need to make this work? Its all about what the audience 'expect' to hear.

    You should talk about all the annoying overused spuds that we hear ALL THE TIME THAT MAKES NO SENCE!!!! Like: gun noises every time is is touched, as it they have loose screws and sound of reloading for shotguns or pistol's hammer being pulled back when their is not hammer on the gun model. And my favorite useless over used sounds, cop car risen, 1 or 2 WOOP, WOOP every time a cop car appears in the frame....I have a very long list that, once you notice the over used of them, it will annoy you for ever every time you hear them....

    • @johnmellor932
      @johnmellor932 8 лет назад +3

      Because it works!! I agree about the gun sounds, its unrealistic but without it, it simply wouldn't sound right. You have to watch a work print to appreciate why many sounds are needed that in the real world you wouldnt hear. Same with cloth, but you have to have it.
