Avatar - Foley Sound

https://vimeo.com/81506278

0.02 secs need the sound of the clip need the sound of the rope swinging the through the air. I will record the sound of a wooden pole being swung hard through the air to make this sound.

0.00 - 0.32 secs. The reptile also needs to making growling noises I will use human voice to try and make the sound of the creature.

0.00 - 0.34 background noise is needed, the sound of wind/ birds needs to recorded. I may also more noises similar to the reptiles to but in the background.

0.05 - 0.17 secs. The reptile flaps it's wings during this time, I can use the sound of fabric waving in the air like a leather coat to make this noise.

At 0.14 secs the Na'vis start cheering, I will be using human voices to create this sound and since they are holding arrows I will be banging pieces of wood together for when they wave their arms.

The man tries to ride the reptile from 0.03 sec to 0.34 secs so I will be using human voices to make grunting sounds to match with him struggling against the reptile as well as when he nearly falls of the cliff.

At 0.34 secs the man gets flung to the edge of the cliff, I will need to make noise for him bouncing along the ground and grabbing the vine on the cliff. I will do this by hitting a material bag and crushing some rocks against each other.

Throughout the clip jungle sounds are in background.

Since I worked alone I recorded all of the sounds in the video. The reptile noises seemed to match with the action and the patting on the ground also seemed well timed. The added background noise also helps all of the sounds link together and not sound out of place or sudden. Although the flaps of the wings fit with the video it is also very quiet and if done again should be louder. The sound of the clinking of the bows is missing but it doesn't seem to impact the video to much. However the sound of the man's voice trying to ride the reptile is also missing which is a bit more noticeable. The sounds where fitting for the films target audience as it was intended to sound as realistic as possible and no effects where added. Panning was used to make the sounds of the wings hitting the ground sound like it was coming from the appropriate sides, this was also done with the shouting.
