EMC105-4 - Sound Design
Production Summary:
A team of students consisting of Erwin Pajunar, Adrian Lopez, and Czeann
Ocampo created the idea for the project. The sound effects and foley were
created utilizing everyday objects found in their house. They were recorded
independently as each member was assigned to a different aspect of the
project. Czeann Ocampo and Erwin Pajunar did the voice acting and script
writing, while Adrian Lopez used his song composing skill to create an original arrangement for the background music, adding energy and life to the
work.
To record the audio, the team primarily used earphone microphones and a
condenser microphone. They then took numerous takes to achieve the
intended feel and sound of the foley. The team then proceeded to edit the
materials in Adobe Audition to ensure that the desired effect was
appropriately portrayed. The crew ensured that the music and dialogues were properly emphasized, giving them their respective moments in the project.
