Extra Effects

Some sound effects weren’t able to be recorded with “natural” techniques so I used a couple of additional sources to create these sounds.

Wind

Representing wind is a hard task in the sonic language, so I thought that the best idea was to use Procedural Sound Design with pure data and the result was quite good, you’ll be able to listen to the wind sound at the end of the short film. This is the special Pure Data patch that I downloaded to create wind:

Steps

Steps are normally known to be done in Foley so I did a little foley session at home to record the steps sounds, I use the Zoom H5 and my shoes against the floor to create the sound. After synchronising the steps to the image and adding some reverb I had a very realistic sound. I was happy with the result of this procedure.

Radio

I used an old walkman to record some sounds, voices and effects from the radio, I would definitely recommend to record sounds and voices from radio because they are very useful and always have a special feel.
