1. Intro: I think the most fun
part of working with sound is creating the
kinds of sound effects that are really either strange or gross or really off putting. Just like I enjoy making
Halloween Horror soundtracks. I enjoy making Halloween
Horror sounds. Today, we're going to take a anime that is
already Fantastic, but skimped on the gore sounds. Instead, choosing for
more instrumental sounds instead of straight
up gore sounds. So we're gonna take
a little clip from the trailer of a very famous
anime attack on Titan. And we're going to add a gorgeous sound to the moment when Aaron's
mother gets eaten. It's not a spoiler.
It's in the pilot and it's in the
trailer for the show. So hi, I'm Jordan. I'm a composer and producer
and today we're going to do some sound capturing. So I'm going to create some
Foley for attack on Titan and practice getting
some live samples that we then use to create
sound effects for animation. It's gonna be fun and messy. And it's going to take
something that sounds perfectly innocent and makes it
sound completely horrific. Doing things that are ordinarily very everyday actions
like eating fruit. So join us. Let's have some fun with fruit.
2. Defining Foley: Today we're doing Foley. Foley is all of the sounds that you don't
think about in film, TV shows, and video games. Basically, it's all those
environmental sounds. Birds chirping,
they even the sound of clouds rubbing up
against each other. The sound of footsteps, Foley artists work incredibly hard to get sounds no
one ever thinks of. And get them very,
very specifically. Like a character walking on a very particular
type of ground. A Foley artists is
going to record that and very particular weather
like if it's been raining, they need to record the sound of footsteps on a freshly
rained on ground. It's very grueling work and there's a lot of
attention to detail required. Today. We're going to try some
Foley and some sound design. And in the fun, the fun is possible
way, which is gore. It's amazing how something so innocent sounds like
something very not innocent. My favorite things to
record sound for horror, things like stabbing, slicing,
anything really gross. You can get really
gritty sound effects from really innocent
everyday objects. Like I'm going to use
a banana today for that nice full math,
gummy choose sound. Like Annie Get some watermelon
for that nice, crisp bite. Sound effect, which
might be useful. We don't know exactly what
will and won't be useful, but we'll get a
quite a few things that will end up using
for our, for our enemy. We'll start off by watching the actual clip and saying what the original creators dead. And then we'll record a bunch of stuff and then throw it in and see if we can provide our own version of how the
Foley could have sounded. So if you've ever
dreamed of doing Foley, or it fascinates you how
sound effects are captured and how one thing
sounds like something else and it's used for something else and no
one will ever know. Then let's do this class. Let's have some fun
with some folly.
3. Examining the Film: Okay, So we're looking
for moments that we can insert gore and make this seem more horrific
than it currently is. I remember being quite
withheld with sound. And it's visual is actually
maybe because it's the pilot. I think things get a little bit more intense
later in the series. Okay, So we have a twisting
and a snapping moment. Put a crunch sound in
there. I'd be nice. We've got a big bite. So I want to get a sloppy sound for the
flash and the blood. I want to get a crunchy
burns sound as well. We should record with a bunch of different things and
layer them together. Layerings key with sound design. Yeah, so that's what we want. That's the goal today. A big crunch for the twisting motion when he got to rip Sarah
and half or whatever, kind of just like
breaks and neck. And then I kinda sloppy
bite when he eats. We can kinda since that shot kinda lingers for,
for quite awhile, we'll keep the sound of the
aiding going as long as we can milk it.
Alright, let's record.
4. Recording Our Samples: Let's get started. I, I loved the banana really makes your mouth
sound really full. Has a gummy sound. So it's gonna be really good for setting like there's
a person in my mouth. I'll add texture to it with some of the other things
that are going to eat. So let's get started. Really fluttering. Alright, That's our gummy. Let's do some crispy
with the watermelon. Should be a nice crisp
byte. Let's try. If you're not making a mess,
you're not doing it right. I liked the idea
of the grapes for the squished sound.
See how that is. Orange. Okay. Well, my thing we need is the crunchy bytes. I think we got it.
5. Designing the Tearing Sound: Alright, so here we have
all of our recorded clips. So let's just isolate
those and give them all. There are in their
current place. Banana really flipped. This is our gummy,
gross mouth sound. Real last one. Noodles. Alright, so that makes noodles biting
orange, more orange, orange Stevens lice
grape, watermelon, banana, and our original
scribbly scraps up here. Okay, Let's start arranging
them and mixing them up. Getting, getting to work. Okay, Let's look at our movie
here and see what we need. Wrong thing. And that off. Turn that on. Okay. Yep, cool. So the mom gets grabbed. I loved that reverb tail
on the end of his screen. It's pretty cool. I like it. Rounds it out nicely. Here. Notice how what they have
now is kind of a like a, like a symbol that okay, so that's all we need to
replace and beg Garza, I guess so for this, let's go down to our noodles. Yeah. That's great. Probably the first one. We don't need that extra chair. Not sure if that's going to
be the right length or not. So we'll find out about
before we drag it over. Let's pitch corrector,
pull it down. So messed up. That sounded pretty good. Let's see how that
goes. Come on. Too many things.
It's around here. Gotta be when she started twisting around here, we need a splash of
liquid on there. Maybe this version of orange, maybe a higher pitch. Alright, let's layer
that has a little bit a little bit earlier. Yeah, I think that works. Yeah. Cool. See how that sounds. A little bit extra. That's not it.
Yeah, that's great. I like that because you
can hear the squares. He's, she's, she's in his hand. You hear him squeezed. That beats the ****
out of this one. Oh my God, it's so much better. Yeah, that's great.
Alright. Now, so now to move on to the two.
6. Designing the Bite Sound: Okay, now the bytes here we are. Slam. I want to hear
what the original is. Actually. At such an interesting sound, It's almost industrial like it's like it's a
car or something or a machine. All right. We've got to pull
out all our guns for this. I'm definitely feeling banana colored so I know where it is. The exact moment. That's not an
Where's the second? Bam? That's it. And it's great. So we hit it hard with a
strong sound in the beginning. And then a chewing.
We need that crunch, we need that slab. I was enjoying it. Let's pitch it a little bit
further down then we did the last one, I think. Okay, here we go,
right at the point. I think dotted lines up. Again. Banana. We don't need that
attacks and I think maybe pitch character. Beneath that. We have that attack
that goes first, then the visceral chewing, probably from about here. Alright, next, we
need to squish. We can get that crisp watermelon
right at the beginning. Rarely flutter, hope that's me. Alright. A gummy speed
should be. Let's try. This isn't a watermelon. So a banana. If you're
not making a mess. I liked that might conflict with the
banana that we have. So we'll have to see, I don't think that
needs pitch correction. I think that that's
already there. I came back to squishy. Like what the heck was, I guess I'll go whatever
that is. Come on. Okay. How is that sounding? Let's see. Let's look at it with this. Needs more crunch. Say if we have a
stronger noodle clip. Okay, I'm going to add this. See how that goes. Pretty girls. Let's watch
it with the other one. All right. Not bad,
not bad, not bad.
7. Recording & Mixing in a Rip Sound: I realized that I don't
have a tearing off effect. I have the bones breaking
and the blood coming out. But nothing's getting torn off. So I got some cardboard.
See how that sounds. Here we have our new
cardboard recording, but here's a new
cardboard recording. Let's see how it is. I realized that lets me have the bone. Oh my goodness. But come on. Where's the cardboard?
Oh, my God. I felt that in my so
that was her off. Oh my goodness. Nugget. What if we do to the RIP? What they do to Aaron's voice
with the with the reverb, not audio effects. I want plugins. Valhalla, my favorite. Oh God. That was a bit much. Why am I telling you
down here? Doesn't it? Doesn't even matter.
Needs its own. Maybe an hacker. Oh no, no, no. Alright. Yeah, it's pretty good. Pretty good. Turn a
little bit earlier. Now that was where it was. It's all of it allowed there. Alright. Alright, that's
cool. That's cool. Maybe it can be lengthened
and then it'll be alright. Alright,
I'm happy with that.
8. Finished Clip: Somebody.
9. Find New Ways to Make Sound: And they have a much
more disgusting version of attack on Titan. A show that was already
horrific to watch. But now with our changes, more horrific to hear, I think that going
forward I would like to think of a
way to create more of a like a bang sound
when the doors close. That would be my next thing
that I would try to do. Yeah, that's all I can think of that I would really
want to change. Otherwise, I'm pretty,
I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks so much for joining in. Do give it a try for yourself. See what other foods make certain sounds that
are very satisfying. See how you can make sounds
with the way that you do, with the way that you eat. See how you can record that and create some
incredible samples. I've sampled my cats eating several times because they eat the way that they
breathe while they eat is very interesting. And just the way that they chew and the way that it sounds. So you never know when
it's going to come in handy because it has
some fun recording. Try your best, see if you can create some new sound effects, the anime, or anything else
that you enjoy watching. And I have many other
Skillshare classes. The other ones are
focused on music and one on music theory. So check them out and
I'll see you next time.
