We are Noise MACHINES.

Pam here. I just took part in a fantastic workshop in Studio Z. The leader of the workshop was our very own Zeum educator, Matthew. He led this sound effects workshop from 2-4 called "Fun with Foley: Sound Effects Extravaganza". I was in charge of recording the sounds.

Jack Foley was one of the best sound effect technicians of all time.

"Basically, get anything that makes noise" is what Matthew told me when we were setting up. After scrambling around all over Zeum to get various sound effect instruments...a cowbell, a miniature door, a glass jar filled with beads, frisbees, bells, other things I don't know what to call... we were set to create our very own Foley sound effects.

Our movie clip was a short film about Felix the Cat, and the kids and even a few adults in the room were definitely in their element, making noises to go with the cartoon. We got a few volunteers to do voice overs for characters like the pirate and the old man.


Here's what we made. Enjoy! (and click HERE after to watch the original. A lot of people said they liked our sounds better. You be the judge. )
