The Legend of Aramelle Episode 7 – Sound Effects

As someone interested in sound recording in general, I thought it would be a good idea to combine the credits I have to include for the sound effects in each episode with information of why I chose them, plus how I edited them.

Here is the full list of sound effects including where I got them from, plus what the original script called for.

Cast for:
Bird Squawks – Captain Liam answering Aramelle’s questions.

Prosound for:
Waves, ship creaking – ship – Thames Sailing Barge, Atmosphere Below Deck Under Sail, With Creaking Wood. (Recorded On Board S.B. Pudge.) (Bought) – This sound has really paid for itself at this point!

Adobe Sound Effects for:
Weapon Broad Sword Hit Metal Tink – Aramelle catches sword – A surprisingly difficult sound to find someone catching a sword, so this was the closest!
Foley Footsteps Cowboy Boots Walk By – Clive leaves – Strangely only the cowboy boots sounded like normal shoes…
Household Wood Old Wood Door Close – Door closes – Wanted a sound that could be heard over the market atmosphere as it would srtop abruptly when the door was closed.
Foley Coin Remove Coins From Pocket – Aramelle takes coins out her pocket
Foley Coins Moving in Hand – Aramelle hands coins to the potion man
Weapon Sword Remove From Sheath – Orson removes sword from sheath – same as previous episodes and reversed for him putting it back away.

Mixed Sound Effects:
Adobe: Foley Footstep Hard Sole Run on Wood mixed with Weapon Sword hits Sword – Clive runs at Aramelle – and again the second time. I’m only disappointed that I didn’t think to record Clive screaming as he ran, so he attacks silently.
Adobe: Weapon Broad Sword Slide off Sword mixed with Cast: C falls over – Aramelle knocks Clive over.

BBC Sound Effects:
1. Foreign Atmospheres – Covent Garden Market, horses & carts: Horses, villagers, market traders. (Bought) Same as in episode one.

Freesound for:
Cauldron bubbling – Water Bubbling – Same as at The Witch Princess’s castle but without the stirring spoon this time as it was a bit too distracting for the atmosphere of a tiny shop. water bubbling by ultraaxvii — https://freesound.org/s/591151/ — License: Creative Commons 0
