The sound of one wing flapping
I've received several good suggestions for how to make a wing flapping sound. Thanks for those -- it ends up that what we actually wanted was a kind of enhanced fluttering sound (which Kirk ended up making into a microphone for me, after attempts #1, 2 and 3 all met with his dissatisfaction). To make my own flapping sounds (which I think ended up sounding pretty good), I actually built a kind of pseudo-wing out of cardboard, with triangular "feathers" cut in the trailing edge. That gave me pretty much the sound I was going for, but it's not what Kirk wanted. In any case, it's sorted out, and thanks for the suggestions.

The actors got some work in that they needed, and wouldn't have been able to do if we'd proceeded on plan last night. It was still a really stressful and annoying blessing, but at least we recovered and are at least theoretically in a better position than we would have otherwise been. It's all about the silver linings. Posted at 14:11 permanent link category: /theater Categories: all aviation gadgets misc motorcycle theater Written by Ian Johnston. Software is Blosxom. Questions?
