Sound effects (ambient noises and off screen sounds)

This is a recording of the recorder walking on grass with boots, Although this is not a recording of a animal walking. However, with a few duplicate layers of this same recording i was able to layer this recording in to sound of animals walking on grass, used on shot 2 of the film of the three wolfs walking towards the pond. This once again shows that sound does not particular need to be exactly the thing that it is representing. Things that makes the noise that is suitable for a certain scene, might be as well as something completely different.

In some cases the sounds are exactly as the content of the film, in this case this recording of 2 days old chicks were used for my eagles chicks on their nest. Which matches very nicely to the slight movement of the chicks in the animation.

Forest at dawn in the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve with some birds, chachalacas, insects, mosquitos and crickets (recorded from the path behind Santa Teresa houses).

Recording of the ambience of a forest, this recording is six minutes long and under creative commons 2.0 license. It mostly involves sounds of wind blowing on trees, leaves and grass, sounds of different kinds of birds and insects. i found this recording particularly useful to lay as part of the back ground through out the film. With this recording attach the animation seems to come more lively and active. Moreover the sound of raven recorded in this clip, fits exactly on to the gun shot of the wolf in shot 4. Which happens in nature often as a loud noise is made animals react quite instantly with sounds. ravens flying away and making their sounds makes the whole scene seems more natural.

For the gun shot sound effect, this recording is made out of the sound of a door slam with alteration of the speed and pitch of the sound, it sound very similar to a gun shot. Making it perfect for this above scene.
