Assignments
Five graded assignments build the craft: live Foley design, recorded Foley, field recording, editing and processing, and ambience building. The final project brings these skills together under picture.
Assignment 5: Sound Synthesis has been dropped and will not count toward your grade. Ambiences keeps its original number, Assignment 6, and is due November 30.
Every assignment is played out loud in class. Make sure you’re comfortable sharing what you’ve made with the group.
