How Horse Sounds Are Made For Movies
I recently came across this video on YouTube where this man, Stefan Fraticelli, creates horse sounds for film. He uses creative techniques to layer sounds that most of us have heard in a movie or two. The video is short – only 3 minutes yet it has gathered over 14 million views. I understand why because (prior to this class) I thought that sound and image where filmed together while creating a major motion picture.
Stefan goes onto say in the video “Something as simple as a body fall can have multiple elements of sound.” I found that very interesting and when listening closely, I could hear each layer of sound being played. This video made me really concentrate on audio and focus my attention to how it can be used. It is not just as simple as letting the microphone record while filming a scene after all. Time, detail and effort have to come together to create a fully immersive audio experience coupled with video imagery to bring the audience into the world you create.
