The scene I want to do is a 4 1/2 minute scene where a group of soldiers go to a wasteland to collect an artifact, only to be attacked surrounding creatures. The thing is, it's over 4 minutes and consists of both action and dialogue among 4-5 people, not to mention that I wouldn't have any idea about how to record sci-fi type sounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-27210611026768864322007-05-21T11:48:00.000-06:002007-05-21T11:48:00.000-06:00Not to be a copy cat, but I'd also like to do a sc...Not to be a copy cat, but I'd also like to do a scene from RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. I want to do the opening into the South American Temple up until he tumbles out the Temple door. Running time is 4min. The scene has wall to wall music that I'd like to minimize. I want to play with BG and FX to establish a more sinister/creepy atmosphere to the temple. There is a bit of dialogue with his local guide. All around a fun challenge.

I want to work on the scene in the end of the film when weather intervenes to stop Victoria Tennant's plane from departing Los Angeles and brings her back to Steve Martin. The scene is a little over 4 minutes long and starts around 1:23:50 on the dvd. As it is in the film, the sound effects are minimized, and it is more of an Enya music video. I want to try to create a similar emotional climax through a crescendo of realistic effects with minimal, rhythmic music (if any -- I want to play with this). At the climax of the scene, a romantic embrace, the noise dies out as the world disappears for the two. There are also a few lines of diegetic dialogue and voice over.<BR/><BR/>I was also considering a five minute sequence of the newer Solaris in which George Clooney is dreaming of his first romantic encounter with his wife. Again, the scene relies heavily on music, which works well but seems to clean for a dream. I think that the sound could be much more experimental and sensual. I'm reluctant to do a scene with Clooney's bare ass, however.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-69920429243189195342007-05-21T03:02:00.000-06:002007-05-21T03:02:00.000-06:00In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", Joel a...In "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", Joel and Clementine are at the beach-house in one of the later memories that they have begun to alter. There are a couple of lines of dialogue about "coming back" and then it enters into a short dreamy montage with just music. I think it would be interesting to redo this with surreal and actual sounds without music. It's a short sequence, about a 1:30.<BR/><BR/>I'd also like to redo or at least update the sound on an animated short I did last semester. It's the third painted one on my blog. I need to hire a composer and some of the effects seem kindof cliche at this point. Also, there's no dialogue. Again, 1:30.<BR/><BR/>Other ideas I've considered,<BR/>- Miyasaki's "Howl's Moving Castle" - Castle mechanical effects could be interesting, redoing Christian Bale's voice which doesn't fit the character in my opinion<BR/>- dream sequence from Hitchcock's "Vertigo" without music<BR/>-Kill Bill 1 - part of the fight scene between Uma and Gogo when Gogo is killed.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14633474403741788212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-24946589995388345032007-05-21T02:22:00.000-06:002007-05-21T02:22:00.000-06:00Hi DavidI'd like to do the scene in "A Series of U...Hi David<BR/><BR/>I'd like to do the scene in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" when the kids get locked in the car on the railroad tracks and have to figure out how to escape. It starts at 23:37 and runs just about exactly 5 minutes. Right now the sound is a little sparse and the emotional build is very much in the music when it could depend much more heavily on the sound design. I'm worried about the amount of kid ADR, though. There's some kid dialogue in one section of the scene.<BR/><BR/>The other scene I was thinking about is in "V For Vendetta" when V takes over the TV station. Kind of a heist scene. It's shorter: about 2 and a half minutes, but lots of fun stuff.robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413049318009884709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-76514376352991813792007-05-21T00:06:00.000-06:002007-05-21T00:06:00.000-06:00Pip - I don't remember the scene that well, but an...Pip - <BR/>I don't remember the scene that well, but any drug-induced scene is a good one, IMHO.Bondelevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903592870589154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-61145752108840128852007-05-21T00:03:00.000-06:002007-05-21T00:03:00.000-06:00Kyle - Good choice for a scene, it could be very i...Kyle - <BR/>Good choice for a scene, it could be very interesting with a different sound design.Bondelevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04903592870589154181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-31173791835531383602007-05-20T23:26:00.000-06:002007-05-20T23:26:00.000-06:00Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Lizard Bar SceneT...Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas - Lizard Bar Scene<BR/><BR/>This is from 16:17 to 19:40, from Hunter and his lawyer's entrance to the lizard lounge. As is, the scene is music heavy, dialogue light, a bit of narration, and lots of strange surreal sounds. What I'd like to do different is minimize the music and make the hard FX real, instead of surreal. So lizards sound like lizards, etc. The goal is a clear sound design, instead of the muddy drugged one it has now. Look forward to your feedback.piphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858550836141707505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13104742.post-21882157408858771842007-05-20T23:04:00.000-06:002007-05-20T23:04:00.000-06:00"The Silence of the Lambs" - Jodie Foster entering..."The Silence of the Lambs" - Jodie Foster entering the basement<BR/><BR/>I like this scene because there is some dialogue but not too much, some off-screen as well which should be interesting. There are also hard fx and foley, but I like the direction of the scene and I think it has some great opportunities for ambient and subjective sounds. I also like how I think the scene could have a more minimal sound design. I am also interested in working with different music cues.

I want to do the opening scene (about 4 mins). I believe it contains a bit of all of the elements which we spoke about in class. It has a couple of lines in Spanish which I want to ADR into English. It has a lot of opportunity for folley. The story is about a father who is trying to keep his crazy wife away from their son. It may be one that the class is not familiar with so I can bring the scene in question to class or leave a copy in your box early for your opinion.
