WHAT SFX

EQUIPMENT

PROPS ETC

7th March

Today we recorded our own SFX; we recorded footsteps, talking, pen drop, sucking and snoring. We started applying our SFX’s to the cartoon.

We used the Dictaphone to record the SFX. I used Mac to edit the cartoon.

We walked on the spot on a table to get the footsteps SFX. We dropped a pen onto a table to get the pen drop noise. All the other noises we did by mouth.

14th March

Today we are obtaining the SFX from freesfx.com. We will put these SFX onto the timeline.

We are using the Macs to edit and the internet to get the sounds.

21st March

Today I am finding a backing track to finish of the edit. Also I will be finishing my Evaluation.

I am using a Mac to edit and will use youtube to get the audio, then online video converter to get the sounds

Yet Another Evaluation

Overall I believe my edit of Tom and Jerry was successful, this is because I think that the sound effects we recorded ourselves fit well into the video and sounded like a cartoons sound. However I wish we changed our voice we recorded, it does not sound particularly like someone speaking but you can still make out it is supposed to be dialogue.
I also had to obtain sound effect online, it was hard to find the correct ones because there was such a variety or there was no sound effect. For example I could not find a sound for the frying pan hitting Jerry, so I ended up having to get the correct sound from part of a film trailer of YouTube.
The sound effects on the time lime I feel fit very well. A good example of this is the fight with the frying pan, baseball bat and pipe; It was a challenge to time all these in correctly as each hit only had a few frames in between. If the sound was a frame out it would not look right on screen, therefore making it a difficult and time consuming task.
In conclusion I believe I was successful at adding sound effects to Tom and Jerry, this is because it it seemed to work and I could watch it like a normal episode.
