David Sonnenschein, professional sound designer and author of “Sound Design: the Expressive Power of Music, Voice, and Sound Effects in Cinema” has invited me to co-host a free sound design webinar for animators (all filmmakers are welcome!) on March 17, 2011 at 9:00 am PST / noon EST.
This event will offer an overview of topics essential for people who direct animation and want to enhance their sound design skills. There will be an interactive chat to answer your questions related to sound design.
Some of the areas that David will introduce include:
* Tools and tricks to create your own effective sound tracks
* Using sound to impact the audience on intellectual, emotional, and visceral levels
* Building successful communication skills with the post team, including composers and sound designers
He’ll touch on the following topics:
1. THE INTELLIGENT EAR Listening Modes, Sound Qualities and Bipolarities
2. PLUG-IN POWER Using digital plug-ins to alter sounds for Size, Distance, Speed, and Non-Physical Reality
3. RULES OF the BRAIN ROAD Psychoacoustic Principles and Applications
4. SONIC TIME-SPACE CONTINUUM Creating an effective cinematic space through the use of Soundscapes and Sound Spheres
5. AUDIO BUILDING BLOCKS Constructing Sound Events and Sound Objects
This area covers the mastering techniques of sequencing, layering and mixing to infuse sonic fragments (sound effects, words) with meaningful messages (sound phrases, sentences).
6. PEOPLE, PLOT AND PASSION Narrative Structure and Sound Mapping
Bottom line, how can sound help tell your story? By understanding dramatic elements of character and emotion, the map can guide you to creative and impactful decision-making.
Grab a coffee and come join us for the hour!
