Friday Film Making Finds: Freesound.org

Cool film-making find for June 29, 2012


Whether it's the smacks, cracks and thuds of a fight scene --




-- or the high-pitched laughter of a heartily amused flying squirrel --


-- you've just gotta have sound effects! While there are lots of places that offer royalty-free sound effects for just a few bucks a pop, the fact is that with $5 here and $8 there, those bucks can add up quickly into a great deal more than an amateur movie-maker can afford.  Enter Freesound.org -- a great place to get creative commons, attribution and attribution non-commercial sounds. From explosions to whooshes to the wah-wah-wah-wah of the sad trombone, more auditory goodies than you can shake a stick at are all to be had either entirely for free, or for nothing more than the "cost" of an attribution.


Happy filming!
