WWII battlefield sequence needing your help
 

Ideas for audio project. I've been gathering sound files for a while now, but nothing compares to audio files in games such as MOHAA and BF1942 (as you will be able to tell).

So I'm going to put together a 90-120second clip of an "audio story".

Here's my layout so far:

On train.
Train doors open
gets blasted with bullets, etc.
chaos.
tank rolls in
plane flies by
drops bomb
recreate the whole shell-shock sequence (like the beach in saving private ryan)
___________________________________

that's what I have so far, but i'm going to expand more on the shellshock when I get the right files.

I need some more input on the story line.

I thought maybe the dude could go into a barn where it's a makeshift hospital. Then either 1) germans come in and shoot the hell out of them 2) a bomb blows up the barn (that's if i could find a nice explosion sound to fit it well). Then maybe I could go into a segment where I'd use sound clips of Churchill or Truman talking about the war over battle sounds or light music.

Do you all have any cool ideas?

Also, I'm looking for a good quality stereo sound of an impending missile dropped from a plane. I don't know what games you all play, but if you have any sound clips from games that you all play (i.e. DoD, Brothers in Arms, etc) could you send them to me at derekrohaly at gee mail.com Appreciative!!

this is only about 3 hours of fishing for sounds and adding them in sequence with panning and volume settings.

cuss: the_finger: cuss:



Thanks to greg (Cethin) for sending me some clips I was able to make it a bit better. I think they're some of BF1942's audio files.

Didn't finish it yet obviously. If anyone has sounds of people screaming or can think of a movie/video that has it in it (I'll just rip the audio from a youtube vid if i have to) then please let me know. I'm thinking about making the barn a hospital with wounded dudes yelling.

ps. it helps and makes it better if you listen with headphones

Stolen ones?

Stolen ones?[/quote:97741]hahaha that made me laugh out loud.

Newly acquired headphones found sitting by themselves are the ones that will give you the most satisfaction while listening to it. Not stolen ones. happy:

I suggest you add the hail mary bit from mohaa somewhere
as well as some of the dialogue stuff to flesh it out a bit.

it needs way more shotgun...

happy: shotgun whore

Scorpion, do you mean add the prayers in other spots as well with more commands?

please don't add those MOHAA things that are ridiculous like "We're as good as dead out there" or "THIS ISN'T HAPPENING! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!!!"... they are the most irritating things to here when you are playing online.

Yeah dotted around with explosions maybe to give it the sense as tho things are goin on around you. You could even play with the channels and have it in the left then right that kinda thing.

what is the purpose of this thing? I only checked out the first one, but it sounds like a pure MoH:AA flashback. maybe edit some of the FX so it downst osund this way.

yeah, listen to the second one. It's a lot better.


I'm thinking about having the american go into the barn only to discover there are germans there. You will hear the american's heartbeat thud more and more, hear a gunshot, goes silent for a second or two, then goes into soft music with Truman/Churchill quotes about sacrifice.

I think maybe you should go for more of a first-person point of view. I think the barn and having the Germans is a good idea, because it separates the individual from the war. You could put in some running and breathing effects, and depending on what type of battle you're trying to depict (large-scale warfare, small village, etc...) you could have some artillery, not just one bomb. For the shell shock, you could put in a ringing ears effect, and just nerf all the other noises during that period to almost a muted level.

Here's the final product.

I had to insert two more effects to fulfill the requirements (which sucks bc i probably wouldn't have put them in there).
