Over the course of the semester I’ve been particularly impressed with how my students in Sound for Moving Image (MDIA 3303) have been developing their sound design skills. Their first introduction to sound synchronization (Project 1) saw them cutting stock effects from our Central SFX Server to a 1-3 minute video of their choosing. Several of the students performed exemplary on Project 1, however it was almost more fun to see some of the source files chosen!
Some of my favorites:
Recently in Sound for Moving Image we’ve been studying Foley which has produced some truly great results. Once the class split into groups and created cut sheets, they had the opportunity to record in MDIA Control B to complete Project 2; a 23 second clip of Parkour running from the intro to Casino Royale. It was immensely gratifying seeing the students across my two sections of 3303 work together in the studio to act out and record Foley.
From our 1 1/2 weeks of recording sessions, below is a gallery of pictures of the engineers and Foley artists in action, as well as a compilation of some of their complete Foley projects. I hope you enjoy their final results as much as I do!
