MoMI Reflections

One of the many interesting demos at the MoMI was the sound effects demo showing the scene from titanic and the building and layering of sounds used to create the sense of what's going on, the mood, and the background noises like the crashing ship, people running, water splashing, etc. each of these noises are recorded separately by foley artists and then put together by the sound editor. I already knew that the dialogue was recorded separately, but I didn't know that every single thing you hear in the movie is also recorded separately. It was interesting to learn how the foley artists create all the different sounds used in movies. Like how something so small like a sound of a can crushing can be used for a massive part of the ship crashing. All of this sound effect technology has helped expanded the creative boundaries that filmmakers have because they can literally Create any scenario they can think of and make it come to life in their movie.
