CLOTH FOLEY: SWEATER FLAM

Some fabric Foley. After messing around with a blanket for a while, I started to use my everyday studio sweater— I keep a sweater at the studio so I can show up in a short sleeved shirt every day and have something to put on if I get cold, which happens from time to time here in Minnesota.

This is an attempt to harness cloth impact as a flam— and a successful attempt, I might add, because everything I do is successful. I’ll probably wind up slowing this down to achieve the relaxed, more plush friction I’m going for with this particular cue.

I placed the pillow (the impacted surface, in this case) on top of a piece of plywood in case there was some bonus woodiness to be gleaned (s befits the scene). There was not, other than the bonus points I unquestionably earned for effort.

DULZIPAN: SOUND EDIT AND MIX FOR PROMO VIDEO

Given how often I sound edit and mix the sort of corporate/ industrial material parodied by this video, I thought I knew exactly how to approach this project for Dan Schneidkraut-- a mock promo for "Proxcorp’s groundbreaking despair management solution, Dulzipan." Nope! Turns out Dan wanted something of an unorthodox sensibility-- VO buried somewhat, no real audio accents-- because the piece clearly just plain wasn’t weird enough as it was. This video is one facet of, shall we say, a larger project that threatens to reveal itself eventually. For now, poke around the web site, and be disturbed! Also features the talents of Amanda Day, Ryan Schadalee, and others.
