The Power of Sound in Movies

I try to make a short scene of mine not suck as much with the power of sound.

[@juneguts]

i'm not gonna lie, your woods clip how you showed it originally with all the silence was very anxiety inducing. Good job

[@rbalvedi282]

I agree. Sometimes the absence of sound is equally as important

[@Cranetechofficial]

ya the original was kinda horror type scary , some shit about to go wrong

[@jan_j27]

Yeh it made me nervous

[@joshuaspruett]

Right I was actually gonna say I think there’s a lot of room in a edit to convey the feeling you want as well. The first way works a little better if that’s what you’re trying to convey.

[@Rose65]

I agree the first shot was really insane

[@alicekins]

watching this whole video on mute

[@w0lf-m4n]

Without subtitels

[@benjaminaustin3722]

good one ahaha

[@dantoland3796]

You monster...

[@bktinashe5704]

I don’t think this comment can be topped😂

[@miladarvin524]

😅😅😅

[@schmid1.079]

What I started noticing is how much movie makers love tyre screaching. I've recently rewatched Breaking Bad and I'm not exagerating when I say I don't think there is a single car scene without it. They screach when driving off or taking a turn, no matter the speed or even if it fits the scene. They even screach on dirt. It doesn't bother me, but once you notice it you really can't unnotice it.

[@YourMJK]

To be fair, they are also always hauling ass when driving away or parking.

[@imogenpinelli850]

Hahahahahahaha screeching on dirt

[@jesperhasselberg4841]

Ever watched the NBA? The sound guys reeaaally love their screeches

[@AironExTv]

Breaking Bad is a fine example of good foley. Fairly often foley will be turned down or not all of it will be used. The foley team(performer and mixer/recordist at the very least) has stated that they used almost everything they made for the series. Foley is lots of fun to create, edit and mix.

[@961rider5]

U just cursed me

[@romdruyak5593]

I actually really like straight up silence in movies in some moments,it gives the scence weight

[@arcanep]

lmao i swear i didnt copy you exact same thought mate xd it made the scene so much more dramatic right

[@joshthemann]

Exactly. Like in Interstellar, when Dr. Mann explodes the ship, it’s dead silence which adds to the weight of the scene

[@N4lax]

Bro summarized one of my future lectures in an 10 min vid. Thanks Paul!

[@paul_et]

*sweating profusely You’re welcome?

[@repinsvizios]

If I remember correctly, the sound of the webs attaching to things in the original Spider-Man trilogy, was actually someone who had made a whip from the tapes inside VHS'es, and was striking different objects with it.

[@pmishraofficial]

7:20 - That app for SFX is Soundly, for anyone wondering.

[@Xyabra]

Imagine recording the sound of someone writing but trying to recreate every stroke like a swing, trying to match the speed, intensity, of the ink or led, pressing down on paper, or whatever surface, hearing the scratching, like nails on a chalkboard, or scraping, of a key, slashing a metal door, or hearing the tire, rip & tear, while the air, is streaming out it's last few... drops, of pure, full, last breaths, of hissing, giving out, at a constant frequency, never ending, until..... it's... all... gone. Hissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[@lukesukulelechannel]

very well written

[@goosewithagibus]

One of my goals once winter is over is to make a short film, like 3-4 minutes long, this year. Hopefully I can pull something off. This stuff helps, thanks!

[@paul_et]

Do it!!

[@I.m.samadesanya]

Baby Driver made me realised the power of sound effects/sound design as I love watching movies with headphones 🎧 and trust me, you can feel what the main character is hearing or feeling. Thanks for this enlightenment 🤠

[@moviesmadebymike]

Hey brother Paul, I thought this was an amazing video. You are incredibly talented, not only as a filmmaker (which your short film final version showed proof of) but as a storyteller and educator. Seriously, most people would be happy to be good at any one of these three talents, and you have them nailed down amazingly. I thought I was good with foley and sound design in my short films, but wow, yours is on another level. Brilliant to randomly come across this kind of filmmaking video because of the algorithm, I'm about to binge watch the rest of your videos because this was incredible.

[@paul_et]

Thank you! That means a bunch

[@HappyThrills]

Your videos are so well done. I’ve recently become fascinated with video production and this is gold. Inspiring stuff

[@norm124578]

Love the way you explain cool stuff like this in filmmaking please keep making more! :)

[@agrippa.the.cosmonaut-wiz]

ADR is something that is sorely missing from so many smaller projects, especially on KZbin.

[@anonanon8974]

I didn’t notice a change with the music until you added the voice dialogue at the very end. Then it totally changed. That was the only reason I realized the two of them were together in the same scene. Also it actually seemed like the guy had fear in his eyes looking up when I did not get that watching it the first time.

[@pmishraofficial]

So good to see a video dedicated to the art of sound! ❤️ Absolutely loved it.

[@mlegrand]

Amazing as always. It's like Christmas has come early. I'm really enjoying your work and hope you continue to make videos here on YT. 👌🏻

[@reed6445]

This guy is THE BEST. His videos are extremely well-edited, concise, and all-around fun to watch! After watching, I searched for similar channels, but this is ONE OF A KIND. I'm impressed by the talent he possesses, and I can't wait for the next upload.

[@rbalvedi282]

Love watching your videos. Watching how you incorporate the concepts being explained is remarkable. Your skits, though short as can be, have their own flavour and it is noticeable the effort put into them. Especially loved the Foley bit (not to say the video as a whole).

[@synkro_nyze]

This is incredible. I already knew most of it, but for a beginner your explanations are so thorough. Also the editing was top-notch.

[@yashrides]

Superb mate. Your sense of humor is brilliant. Love the way you demonstrate. Keep inspiring.

[@thewhy13]

i love that you take your time to make actually good videos , thanks you Paul im an old fan and i love seeing how your channel is growing

[@PhilipShacklady]

This is amazing!! I can vouch for the importance of Foley in a film having worked at a Foley studio for a while. It's such a unique part of the filmmaking process and nine times out of ten elevates the film to a much higher degree, though sadly is never treated as important as music or dialogue.

[@simonebertrand1151]

There are so many well made high quality videos on youtube about everything. Especially filmmaking, I AM SO HAPPY.

[@lextreth]

My edditing was recently getting worse and i felt lile giving up. Im glad youtube recommend this to me. I always just left the sound in my recordings so hopefully this'll change my production quality a fair bit Thanks man, keep up the good work and +1 subscribers

[@sanjaysingha8911]

I always love to watch your videos. Amazing work as always. I have added the video to my playlist.🔥🔥

[@Webpixum]

Shot very well and the foley just took it to the next level. I hope to make some videos like this one day. I'm even learning the way use music. Nice work Paul E.T..

[@yhwhlungs]

sound is underrated

[@edenalmasi]

"An Additional One!!" had me dead. Excellent video, btw. This is very good, and it was nice to see some workflow and I got to learn plenty as someone who's looking to get into sound design and editing. Thanks so much and keep at it!!

[@MortyFilms]

this was amazing, love your editing! 🔥

[@philipdumas4435]

Dude… what the absolute flippity flap, you’re channel is incredible. After watching a second video I am convinced this is something special. Subscribed.

[@ras3193]

the story telling, the jokes, the editing, the message. everything about this is amazing

[@DLPTv]

Yo I just came across your channel and I gotta say man your videos are Really well edited and they look super clean and fell like great videos I really love them! ❤️‍🔥also as a film lover and cinema lover I love seeing other people talk about film and learn more about things! Stay blessed bro! 💜🔥

[@bhapampa]

Ohhhhhhh! Now it clicks! Let me elaborate. The Sound video was actually the very first one I stumbled upon three weeks ago. After enjoying it I moved on. Fast forward to today, I come across another video from you (unaware it was you) - 'How Filmmakers Make Cameras Disappear | Mirrors in Movies: Part 2', and I was genuinely impressed, prompting me to subscribe. As I clicked on your profile to explore more videos, I rediscovered the Sound video that I had watched and even commented on before. I must say, I love your content! The titles and thumbnails are really eye-catching. The power of SEO is evident!

[@DavidDustyTuber]

I Like your editing looks clean and you got that Eye of an Editor well done ! You got yourself a new Subscriber :D

[@Illusiona56]

I’m making a book movie trailer thing for school, and this helped me so much! going to watch all of your videos now

[@bhapampa]

I was eager to know the story about the ice. You nailed it haha

[@timuridrisov4080]

I've been enjoying your videos ever since you published Jam on toast Netflix doco. Keep it up!

[@tyapkaa4482]

Just great and beautiful as always!!!

[@TonaA.R.]

this was absolutely amazing!

[@matz4k]

great work, well explained, awesome edit

[@observer3671]

With a trailer this good, i feel you now have an obligation to provide us with the full movie😂 this is brilliant

[@PhilipBlank]

Wow mate, what an edit! Watched every minute.

[@dead_ones]

It’s a good day when Paul ET uploads a new video!

[@jesuismt17]

Kudos for this work man, subscribed to you.

[@MehulShaRma]

HEY THIS IS GREAT!! I AM A MUSICIAN, SOUND DESIGNER AND CAN UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT SOUND EFFECTS, MUSIC ARE! SO THANKS FOR SHARING!!

[@zazaemperor]

didnt take my eye off the video for a sec. amazing work!

[@TheMuppetKid]

Watching this two weeks out from upload. The "Me likey" bit held up. Damien Chazelle gotcha. lol. Great video, my guy. Love this stuff. Very inspiring.

[@madeupwithit]

The way you edit RULES! At so many points your timing makes me think YES! The guys voice in the fridge 🤣

[@usmvnjaved]

This is so incredible. Every video on this channel is artistic af. I wish you could upload vids more often. ❤

[@cosmos-yz9ol]

the keyboard saying "oh-oHmYgOoD" was wholesome 😂

[@thetauf]

Hands down the best KZbin channel on KZbin ♥

[@studiotwentyone]

Enjoyed watching that.. Great video!

[@kylelitwack]

Fantastic as always.

[@JoyKAnthony]

1.2 videos in and you are my new favourite.

[@lila8232]

YOU ARE UNDERRATED MY MAN!!!

[@myvideoguy]

forgot the safety disclaimer for the pine cone. ouch 😁 just happened across your channel - digging the personality 👌

[@arielkam7771]

Man you’re the best, thank you for all the tips.

[@Bayosayshi]

Beautiful way of educating.

[@reysonmercedes6804]

What a great video, love ur work

[@BigVirusBoi]

Bro your youtube videos are cinematic, keep it up!

[@hyethere7162]

Love your videos always.

[@tobyjohnson2595]

Love that pine cone reveal at the end. 😂Brilliant.

[@harveygibson4159]

Incredible edit dude.

[@Q.7]

You may not see this comment, but this video is awesome. Great editing, top notch sound mixing. I've always been fascinated by sound effects in movies and music in general. I like what Corridor Crew does with visual effect analysis, but nobody does the sound effects. This video of yours, although compressed by KZbin has high fidelity and surround effect as well. Thank you.

[@HARPERSSON]

Thanks......just what I needed to get motivated again to get back into sound design!

[@neon3dyt]

Looks like a movie I would like to watch xD Great video!

[@phasang9634]

I first saw your video on ads in movies. I regrettably didn't subscribe. I finally found you again and am not leaving.

[@slippery_knife]

love your work

[@nocententertainments5210]

The Hilarious approach in this video makes it super duper Dope! Plus one subscriber Bro, I love this😂 The Hip Hop side LMFAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wav2304]

Wow. Amazing explanation!😍

[@mradriiiian]

awesome as always

[@champadevi2581]

This was such a informative video for all the amateur filmmakers that make the mistake of not giving importance to the sound effects.

[@WillColavito]

amazing video! very well done

[@mayomayo9557]

The first one without the sound effects added too was really goodddd

[@romanstarinsky]

So cool man! And informative 100%

[@vishaldinesh]

The background score reminded me of tenet, great work

[@dhirenphotovideo]

Brilliant mate!

[@MrFunsocks]

Bloody love your vids :)

[@MK_HITBGM]

Original clip was sick man 🥶

[@shotsofthunder]

2:40 “An additional one” 😂😂😂

[@PeterKae]

Alle deine Videos sind geil!!

[@Edinbsvc]

Nice work man

[@quinnreierson]

Love your stuff

[@osindep]

That was awesome ❤

[@dougguztav9610]

Thats pretty interesting!! Love it

[@youssefazoze8757]

so this what they call yt premium and for the 1st I'm gonna say to dear algorithm, Thank you I'm really loving the new content popping into my home page

[@Cineinsaner]

your story telling is masterpiece..

[@yojacq]

Needed this video thanks a lot make part 2

[@Holstead]

That is one satisfying narrating voice 👌

[@alexnomick7852]

Great video… yay sound love! ❤❤❤

[@lukeGGlee]

That was some kind of Handcannon Blaster he was holding

[@EnglishPete]

Probably my favourite Movie sound wise is "Killing them Softly", it has such realism and clarity.

[@PhillGraaf]

Another banger. I heard a magpie in the end!

[@OMEGATROPOLIS]

Using unreal engine, Adobe premier, after effects, FL studio, and Paul’s pro tips , I’ll have a something worth watching soon

[@robwhitmore3040]

Good audio > good video. I shoot doco style stuff and never thought I'd want a stock music service with SFX. I think my last job had 50-60 SFX clips in a 3 minute video. Waves, boats, helicopters, small boats, big ships, feet walking in sand, chainsaws.. And the sad part is that if I've done it well, no one will even notice. Also, looking forward to Foley Man

[@uncletore]

can't get over the ending sounds

[@Amiro05]

God i love these videos

[@KanonKG]

this is amazing 😮!

[@thatdreameryouknow]

2:46 kinda feels like a hiphop video. It actually does
