feedback Questions - Social Sound Design

Would love feedback on my latest project

2011-11-07T17:48:10Z

Hey everyone, I'd love to get some feedback here for this short 27 second clip that I sound designed.

It is a piece I made for fun and then turned into a more serious work. It is a redesign of a section of a trailer for a game called Child of Eden which this game originally is an interactive music game that you play with XBox motion sensor.

The graphics are so stunning and at times overwhelming that I had a hard time filling it in with my own sounds and having it fit.

It would be great if I could get some feedback on it because I want to finish it up and have it sound right and nice. Almost all the sounds were made by me minus 3 or 4 whooshes that I added last minute from a stock library.

I also tried to keep the game somewhat musical and and aurally beautiful.

Still though I feel something may be missing or some parts may not be arranged the way they should be but I don't know why yet...the music is not my making and maybe I should take it out but it's only there for a few seconds..

Thanks in advance for taking a listen/look

General Reel Feedback

2012-01-02T17:29:32Z

Hi Everyone,

I've cut together my first linear audio reel and was hoping a few of you might tear it apart before I plaster it all over the place, burn a big stack of DVDs and pound some pavement in 2012.

www.vimeo.com/lucafusi/reel

The intended purpose of the reel is to be a general overview of liner audio work I've done that I could send along as an introduction, or burn to DVD alongside an couple of other clips. Mostly I'd be looking for notes like, this pacing was too quick, I couldn't read X, you don't need to show clip Y, the whole thing was too long, stuff like that.

Specific notes on the quality of the work are helpful, but for the most part these productions are what they are and what I have to work with right now. That said, I could always do a bit of remixing if anything really sticks out.

Thanks so much for watching, I truly appreciate the help.

Sound design feedback?

2012-01-22T03:20:39Z

Hit me with critical. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rO8BrDJbL8&context=C3b05fd2ADOEgsToPDskKQtOpX1iUCRYr3CGmsQswg

It was weird using xylophone, it had such an overwhelming amount of sound around 300Hz. The most interesting noise is the "tinkely sound" for the snake: that was tapping bricks covered in broken champagne flutes with tiny spanners.

I went into it trying to do this again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRRn73dTItM but to have more long form musicality in the samples, and for them to be more reflective of what was on screen, which was really made it difficult to have the repetition of sources that I think this sort of thing might need to have.

cheers for your time.

Sound Design - Sound Replacement Exercise Feedback

2012-01-18T21:52:54Z

Hey guys,

So I've been working on this sound replacement exercise for practice, would it be too much trouble to ask for some feedback/constructive criticism?

Would be much appreciated!

Video is here: http://vimeo.com/35278747

Thanks in advance, Joe

Uni Project Feedback

2012-01-11T07:07:24Z

Hello there soundies.

I would love some constructive feedback on my creative sound project that I am currently working on for uni. You can view it here - The Arrival on Vimeo.

I am creating sound and music for a graphic novel that I scanned and turned into video.

I aim to create a soundtrack that is reflective of the book's visual style and shows the world from the character's point of view.

It features artwork from Shaun Tan's graphic novel, The Arrival - shauntan.net

Sound used is both my own field recording and foley work as well as sound libraries including freesound.org, Sound Library by Stephan Schutze and Logic's library.

I appreciate any feedback you can offer as it is an essential element of my project.

feedback on re-design scene from [Rec]

2011-02-18T00:23:27Z

Hello. I'm a wannabe sound designer. All times i'm trying to learn as much as i can by reading, watching, listening and trying. Before I start working with young filmmakers in no-budget productions, I want to build my portfolio by re-designing the sound of my favourite movies. So here is one of those. I recorded everything by myself with a Zoom H4 and a Rode NT1 (except guns). The most difficult part was ADR as I havent got professional actors to record the dialogues. I would appreciate any feedback.

so here it is--- rec redesign

thanks. Maciej.

Feedback On My Sounds

2011-04-28T20:06:53Z

Hey All,

This is my first time posting! I wanted to get some feedback on my sounds. I've been designing sound for Radio for years...I got sick of typical cheesy stuff I was forced to produce with and started making my own. Now I'm looking at taking my sound design into TV/Film. Just a couple simple things to check out...I'd appreciate any feedback/criticism/love/coffee.

Thanks!

Question about podium mics which you may be able to help with.

2011-04-26T21:43:50Z

Let's say I had a mic on a gooseneck on a podium, and the PA was blaring and very loud.

The gooseneck is pretty much bolted to the floor.

There is usually a huge feedback ring around 250-300.

Could this theoretically be caused by a sympathetic vibration from the floor of the stage as well as the neck of the gooseneck?

How would one go about isolating a gooseneck such as a podium mic from the floor or any other surface which might be rumbling?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Newbie Sound Designer Would Love Some Feedback

2011-01-09T22:29:18Z

Hi all, I'm relatively new to doing sound design so I was hoping that I could get some critiques from the community :) My background is in musical composition; I actually just got my undergrad degree in piano performance, though I composed a rather large amount, too. I feel that I have strong analytical abilities that help me create sound designs that are very unified to the whole project, but I feel that my economy of expression may need a boost hehe The Mass Effect trailer is my most recent attempt and the short film is from about a month ago. I'm trying to assemble a nice portfolio for grad school.

I'd appreciate any feedback you can give! Thanks!

Feedback on Short Film Sound

2011-03-06T17:31:55Z

Yikes, didn't know how nervous I would be putting my work out to such a great group of professionals, but here we go:

WAIT is a short film I wrote and produced last year. In addition, as a challenge to myself, I did a full rebuild of the sound including all ADR, foley, and SFX.

Please let me know what you think - any feedback is welcome.

Game trailer feedback?

2011-02-26T20:33:04Z

Hello everyone if you have time could you give my clip a watch and give me any pointers to improve? Sadly the conversion Vimeo has done has really effected the sound quality for some reason?

Thanks in advance!

Feedback needed

2011-02-19T19:56:22Z

Hey guys!

I hate to spam with more videos with feedback required. But i need your help.

I want to apply to do a placement in the summer or possibly even a year long placement (either in UK or USA, although i would preffer USA).

I've been putting together some stuff. I just finished a clip of a video that i want to use as a part of my prtfolio. The whole finished version is a clip around 5min. I've never contacted any companies before so i'm a little bit worried and i don't really know what to expect.

Let me know what you think. Any criticism is more than welcome (as long as it's constructive ;)

clip: http://vimeo.com/20109475

rest of my stuff if you have some time to kill: http://harmonoize.wordpress.com/about/

Thanks!!

Looking for critiques on a practice sound design

2010-08-22T23:47:34Z

Things I would do differently after watching it again:

Offset the track so it has the proper echo delay.
Found more crumbling sounds for the roof caving in (but they would have to be the proper perspective i.e. you wouldn't hear rocks crumbling from that far away).
Balanced it out so it builds more and climaxes better.
Added more distant echo rumbles.

Feedback on short film...

2010-12-20T17:49:00Z

Last September I worked as a boom operator on "Eyes to See". It was the first actual film I worked on having previously worked only in various video formats. You can check it out at thedoorpost.com. Just wanted to see what people thought of the dialogue clarity as well as the SFX and sound design.

It's kind of long so I understand if you only want to watch a short part of it. Looking forward to feedback. Thanks!

Feedback on a 1 minute shortfilm?

Loneliness Lies in Twos - Looking for Feedback

2010-04-12T09:32:51Z

Hi,

I recently worked on a self-funded (no budget) project and I am looking for feedback on my work. A questionnaire is online for you to fill in. Below, you can find three links; a link to the finished movie (1), a link to the picture edit before any audio post work was carried out (2) and a link to a questionnaire I would ask you to fill in (3).

For reasons you will understand, the director does not want the movie to be openly distributed. Both videos are password protected and you will therefore need to send me a private message before I can send you the password to watch the video.

However, I am monitoring my emails most of the day and am quite responsive (within 10 minutes in average) so please ask for access! Thanks in advance for your time and comments.

(1) Final Version (after postproduction)

(2) Picture Edit and OMF (before postproduction)

(3) Feedback Sheet (questionnaire)

Any comment is appreciated!

Made some work - Need feedback

2010-12-14T23:03:12Z

I keep doing sound design exercises by re-designing visuals found around the web. Last time it was rockets and marsmachine, so this time i wanted to try something mystic and fragile to recreate.

http://vimeo.com/17823258

Well, without any words, check out my video if you will have a time and possibly give me your criticism about motion, sounds together, anything you will find to mention there.

Cheers

Feedback on sound challenge webpage.

2010-11-24T22:36:10Z

I am creating a page on my site that is designed to get people to take a sound I recorded and manipilate it into something new. Then post the new manipulated sound for others to hear. I think it would be a good way to get feedback on your work and to describe what you did in the process to get the new sound. here is the link http://soundenthusiast.com/sound-challenge/

Let me know if this seems like an interesting idea.

Feedback on my clip

Feedback on my sound design.

2010-11-11T18:04:47Z

Hi everyone. I am hoping for some feedback on a work that I am in the last stage of completing. It is a sound replacement clip from Star Trek, the Future Begins. I am interested in opinions and ideas for rounding off the project. Thanks in advance for assisting me, all comments are appreciated here.

Any feedback on the monthly Sound Design Challenge now that it's done?

2010-08-27T17:14:49Z

I've gotten some great feedback from people who participated in the Sound Design Challenge here, on Vimeo and on my website; but I wanted to find out if anyone watching from afar has any feedback as well. So, if you've been following what was going on, but didn't participate in this month's challenge, please let me know if you noticed anything that can be done better, that I should do more of, or maybe something I should add in the future.

Thanks for all of your help.

Feedback for new blog.. Free Samples!

2010-08-10T14:44:56Z

I'm not selling anything, rather giving stuff away for free!!! Come check out my site here. This is not a promotion, I am interested in feedback on the post on the top of the page about Transformers.

The idea of my new blog is that I make sounds that I have recorded or created digitally at 24 bit/ 96kHz available for download. In turn, I hope to receive some feedback, and I hope that people might manipulate my recordings and post something back with information on how they did what they did. Sound like fun? Go check it out and leave a comment!

To francophone users: would you, please, give me feedback on my covering letter?

2010-07-29T09:52:38Z

Hi everyone, I just came across a job offer at Dubbing Brothers and I'm all shaking to the idea of convincing them it's a job for me! I'm not asking you for help with the content, just tell me if there's anything sticking out that shouldn't be... please :)

https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1ODv16e3eidnWIpVB_6eiMpLHydUrjYZjDsrc9jAz3yo&hl=en&authkey=CKLOi48M

I'm still editing it at the moment but this version is already well advanced. So please feel free to have a look at it and tell me whether you're convinced or not. The motivation is here (with me), I just need to get it across!

Thanks a lot!

PS: please forgive my grammar, I usually am a champion at it but I'm working on a QWERTY keyboard so I'll have to do a pass with the character map to correct all the accents issues. Let's focus on the content :)

Video Game Trailer Critique?

2010-06-24T00:01:23Z

Hey guys. I just asked a question the other day (maybe yesterday) about how I can practice sound design. I got some really good feedback and saw a few people that had posted their videos to be reviewed on here so I thought I would do the same.

This is a game called The Secret World that I found on youtube.

Let me know what you think I could do better or focus on more. After listening to it in the studio I noticed the cry of the baby could have come down a bit and the headphones could been a bit more 'muffled.'

Give me your thoughts.

Thanks,

Evaluation of sound designs.

2010-04-13T11:37:20Z

How do you currently evaluate your sound designs?

We all receive comments (verbal and written) from our colleagues (Supervising sound editor, Re-recording engineer, Director etc.), but does anyone have use a formal evaluation system?

If you do what is it, and how useful do you find it?
