Are you interested in sound design? But aren't sure where to start? Or are you a game developer creating an awesome indie game, and you want to create the sound effects for your game yourself?
Or maybe you're scratching your head trying to understand how someone thinks to use a computer dust blower to create the sound of a spinning sword, or how someone turns a colander and knife into a metal blade sound effect?
If you've found yourself in this situation, this course might be perfect for you.
In this one hour and fifteen minute video course, I show my mindset, the tools, and the full process to creating a Spinning Sword Attack Sound Effect with Links Spin Attack from Super Smash Bros Wii U as an animation placeholder. One of the best ways to learn about sound design is to create sounds to existing animations, and that's exactly what we'll do in this course.
All gameplay footage shown in the video belong to Nintendo. And I am in no way affiliated with Nintendo in any way. I'm just a sound designer who loves audio and video games.
