Film excerpt - Born Yesterday End Credits
This is a brief excerpt from a short film I made last year. The film is made almost entirely from old family Super8 footage shot in the late 60s and early 70s. I love the special, nostalgic quality of Super8; the graininess, the vignetting of the periphery, the flickering and the flaws. This excerpt here is the very final scene; the end credits. The soundtrack for the film was constructed entirely in Logic, and the full version also contains a fair amount of live audio and found sounds, including insect and birdsong, stream and river noises, children playing, traffic, trees and general chatter. For complete authenticity, I recorded all the sounds myself, in the exact same places where the original footage was shot, which was a bit of a labour of love as it was hundreds of miles away. These final credits were a bit trickier, however, so the aircraft sounds were sourced elsewhere. The most difficult part of this sequence was the sound design for the planes - getting the right sound for the right type of plane, and trying to get the spatial and surround elements right - attempting to follow the planes' trajectory, etc. The text on this clip is too small, has a nasty drop shadow and is just not how I want it. I'll change it one day when I get round to deciding on a better typeface.
