Session 5: Sound


MISSION FOR ALL READERS:

Watch this video:

 



Mission Two:

Watch again with the sound off.

 

 

So what did you think?

Rubbish isn’t it? That’s because sound is an important part of animation. That’s not saying that you can’t make a good animation without sound, but c’mon, it’s not 1920 in the local picture house, watching a silent movie is it?




The clip was Beavis and Butthead, a 90’s animation that revolved around two teenage boys laughing at silly things. But without sound, their show was meaningless.

Sound plays an important role in filming for many reasons, such as playing to the audience’s emotions, adding suspense, fear etc.

 Just imagine watching the movie jaws without the famous “Dur Dur” sound effects. Well this is what a "slight" sound change can make...
