Hi, my name's Pete Burgess, and I'm the
Lead Foley Artist at Pinewood Studios.
Now I've been asked to put some foley
sounds on a film made by Bowhill School
to show you how some simple everyday
objects can make realistic sounds.
Now, maybe when you seen the film you can
think about making your own film and put
some sounds on yourself.
Pick an object that's on the table and
I'll show you what sound it makes.
The scissors, kind of like a ticking fan,
I use them for the clock,
this is how it sounds in the film.
[TICK, TICK, TICK]
The lectern, very interesting choice, now,
you need to get close and listen,
the very end of that sound the paper buzzes,
a bit like a wasp.
This is how I used it in the film.
[BZZZZZZZZZ]
The tape, okay, take the tape,
wet your fingers, what does this sound like?
[CREAK] [BANG BANG]
The door, the squeaky door,
this is how it sounds in the film.
[CREAK] [BANG BANG]
Balloon, ok well, the balloon,
because I'm a middle-aged man and I
can't do the breathing of a young girl
this kind of makes my voice sound
a little bit higher-pitched.
This is how it sounds in the film.
[FAST BREATHING]
You chose the t-shirt,
one of my favourite sound effects,
very, very simple, a heartbeat.
This is how it sounds in the film.
[HEART BEATING]
Metal box, this is what it sounds like
and I used it for the lift shaft.
This is what it sounds like.
[LIFT SHAFT CREAKING]
The bin bag okay, well this we use to add
weight to things, so inflate it,
and make like a balloon, and then [BASH],
it's the girl coming through the double doors
at the end of the film
and this is what it sounds like.
[BASH]
Now I've shown you what all these
objects sound like, let's see them
actually in place in the film, enjoy.
[TICK, TICK, TICK]
[BZZZZZZZZZ]
[CREAK] [BANG BANG]
[FAST BREATHING]
[HEART BEATING]
[FOOTSTEPS]
[LIFT SHAFT CREAKING]
[SCREAM]
[BASH]
[ROARRRRRR!]
[DRUMROLL]
