Materials:
Dead leaves, dead flowers, ivy, soil, pipe, rice, tissue, crushed chili, tin foil, celery, bubble wrap, cornflakes, pill tin packaging, effervescent tablets, paper and paper box, electric toothbrush.
We used two kinds of microphones to compare the different recording effects, one is a dynamic microphone Beyer M201 and the other is a condenser microphone AKG C414B.
Plant growing sound: for the tree growing from soil to ground sound, we used some fibers and twisting them. The sound of snapping celery is used as the seed crackling and drilling out of the soil.
Leave sound: We used some sounds of rubbing plastic as the sound effect of leaves shaking.
Fire sound: To simulate the big fire, I use a combination of the sound of rubbing tin foil, crushing crisps, twisting bubble wrap, breaking off celery and small size impact and whistling wind sound to create more layers of a fire. By adjusting their frequencies and proportion to achieve a balance.
Birds fly:We used clothing and tissues to quickly wave and simulate the sound of bird wings flapping.
Rain:Each of us held a handful of rice and sprinkled it onto a cardboard from above while controlling the frequency to simulate different levels of rainfall.
Flames:We used the sound of squeezing plastic foam to simulate the sound of flames burning.
