Hi all
I'm currently in post production for a short practice film, and I want to pay serious consideration to sound. I'm dipping my toes into the art of sound design and I have a list of all the sounds I need to Foley, from footsteps and clothing rustles to branches blowing in the wind. But I'm finding it really difficult to record this, especially on my own.
All of the sounds occur outdoors, so I'm trying to record them outdoors. I'm using a Zoom H4n and a Rode NTG-2 + wind shield (not the greatest of combos as I have discovered, but I have to make do). So I'm walking around the park recording my own footsteps, attempting to synch them with the video footage I have on my mobile phone, and unsurprisingly, I'm finding it rather difficult!
Does anyone have any good tips on how to get passable to good Foley on a zero budget? I'd really love to read some advice or ideas for how better to capture wild, background and incidental sounds.
Thanks a lot
