My friend once took me along to watch the making of an animated movie on dogs
. It was very exciting to walk on to a set which had all the trappings of a city set in fairyland. The houses were made of chocolate or at least painted the color of chocolate. The trees looked lush green and the flowers were in vibrant colors. Then came the dogs in all shades of white, brown, black and grey. Behind the sets was a mixed breed of dogs whose voices were being recorded for the dog barks sound effect, which would be incorporated into the movie at the appropriate junctures.
The dogs were very well trained and extremely obedient. They had learnt a couple of tricks from their trainer and were drawing a lot of crowd with their tricks. However, it was a very difficult at times to get the dogs to bark or growl at the correct juncture. Even luring them with eatables was not working after a while. After trying to coax the dogs for some time, the trainer finally remarked that it was easier to get them to wag their tales than to bark.
The audio professionals then got around to finding free dog barks sound effects from the internet sites. It was only after they had found the right dogs barking noise sound clips, at 1soundfx.com and they had incorporated it into the audio track. Then they mixed the sound of the dogs from the different clips and merged it with the rest of the audio track. It was then that the entire track began to make sense. Then I was witness to how the audio and video tracks are mixed together, so that the entire movie comes life.
All said and done, it was an eye opener and I realized that this animated movie could not have been made without the assistance of the internet. Most of the dogs barking noise sound clips were taken from sites offering these sounds for free. The sound quality was remarkable and very real. A lot of the other sounds were also copied from the from the internet sites and mixed in the sound tracks. It must be agonizing for the audio people to record the sound of dogs and other animals. They must be extremely patient people to be able to wait for the animal to give the right sound to be able to record it.
