Art, Film & Music Projects

Which sub-topic(s):

Check if your project is ready to be judged.:
Yes

Project Description:
This exhibit uses various forms of interaction to engage and inform the visitor on aspects of sound creation and utilisation in the movie industry. It shows how traditional sound effect making methods are still very much in use today, and how today's digital technology is adding exponentially to the possibilities of what sound technologists can do with these organic sounds. The exhibit consists of three elements: - a Foley Studio - a Movie Sound Quiz - Information Boards. Please see Content tab for more detail.

Fun concept, would be great to link to the future

I think this would be a lot of fun--there is a similar exhibit at the Exploratorium in San Francisco that lets you make sound effects in an old-style radio studio the way they did in the 20s-50s on classic radio programs. I think to be a good fit for The Tech this exhibit would have to connect in some way to current or future technologies with making sound effects. How are the simple bells, whistles, and effects of the past related to the way sound effects are made today? Are they all made digitally? Are some still made physically? I think addressing some of those current/future topics could help people understand where their actions fit on the continuum of how sound effects are made and used.
