Here's where I'm going with this video:

Still to do intro and outro and add sound. Anyone know any good DVD's with SFX on for purchase? I'd like to get a whole bunch of good-quality sounds for something like this, cartoon, atmospheric, foley, etc...
Thanks,
Mike

There is a cheap download of 500+ sound effects for $1.99 USD from Amazon.com (in fact, I believe that someone else had posted the link in this forum).Mikdog wrote:Anyone know any good DVD's with SFX on for purchase?

I know it is not so important, but still: where are you animating? AS or ToonBoom? It appeared to me that ToonBoom is less convinient for cut-out animation compared to AS. ToonBoom is more for classic white-board animation I think.Mikdog wrote:Was kind of interesting hey? Haven't really seen Anaglyph stereo rendering used with AS.
Anyways, started sketching out a scene for the next story I have. I think I may not do it with vectors and more with .PNG files. Not comfortable enough with Toon Boom's software to use the drawing tools, though it'd probably be easier (and I'd need to buy the program). Also haven't tried TV Paint which I imagine might be quite good for this kind of thing.
I figure this one http://www.sound-ideas.com/hb.html is a tad bit expensive?
Years ago I copied some CDs on tape, good quality sound FX of everything. But I still use a healthy mix of my own recordings and treatments.
Hm. Maybe I should sell my sounds?

When I was about 8 or 10 I got a cassette recorder. I used to record radio plays with my sister, and the most fun was doing the sound effects: horses, gunshots, whatever. A bit later I learned to splice tape and create loops.
I continued recording, eventually starting to do my own music, and creating sound FX for my school theatre project. Later I did the sound not only for my own but also for others' films. You can hire me for this ...
Anyway, the most important part about sound design is to know how to record. Even with a cheap microphone and software like Audacity you can get great results, if you know about positioning the mike, setting correct levels, and damp surrounding noise.
Everything else helps but is not that important: how to change pitch and speed, how to filter, and how to add the right amount of reverb.
Search for some 60's shorts from eastern europe. Quite often they have a very inventive soundtrack, made from lots of different and mostly unidentifyable sounds.

Here's a little 40 second Happy Land short I made with my brother:

I'm thinking of making a few and hopefully being able to sell them as interstitial shorts for a TV station.
