Hofstra Drama 20 – Sound for the Theatre

Identify the location of the clip – I was sitting in the studio working on my design for one of my characters for 179. The recording is taken at a very close range to my pencil and work surface to enhance the finite sounds that are being created.

Identify the sounds heard in the clip – At first you hear the pencil forming the arm shape of one of my characters. I was struggling with the foreshortening effect needed for his arm. As I drew I was also constantly erasing and redrawing. You can distinctly hear the difference between my pencil on the paper and my eraser and my hand brushing the eraser shavings off of the paper. If you listen very closely you can even hear a slight difference in pencil noises from the beginning to the end as I used a 4H pencil in the beginning and darkened the line at the end with a much softer, 4B pencil.
