Sound Design experience from project 1B

The sound design process was amazing fun, mostly because of the pure freedom involved. Sound recording is the true free process, where you find objects nearby and experiment, but the design is where you truely have control. You can change the speed, the direction, the pitch, etc. and fine tune a normal lack-luster sound into anything, from a spine tingling shrill screech to a light hearted bop or boing. Working with the group led to some pretty interesting ideas that I myself would not have thought of, some of which I loved and some I did not, but for the most part we tried to incorporate everything in. Nothing was out of the question due to the experimental genre in which we worked. From the very beginning I knew that the project would be a real hoot. A project called "Her Ultimate Vaginal Opening" is something that is truly random and destined to be entertaining. And we couldn't do wrong in this project. While we worked, it felt like some of the sounds were so odd and didn't quite match up with the style or idea of the complete track, but when it was placed together it made sense. An example of this for me is some of the clanky, metal sounds, such as the saw-like sound of the moving flask, but in unison with the others, it worked great. In conclusion to all of this, I feel that I have learned to think more outside the box when it comes to sound design and be open to new ideas. A sound is just a set of frequencies in unison and they can shift and shape into any mold. Sound is like audible clay, and as filmmakers and sound designers, we must become the sculptor and artist and create great symphonies to accompany our visual works.
