The Podracer Project explores the use of noises and recordings sampled from the environment to create new sound effects to fit a scene.

​

To create this scene, I went around the streets near my apartment to record the sounds of accelerating cars, street noise, and equipment from a nearby construction site. I then blended these with high notes and warbles from a plastic recorder to create an engine sound for Anakin's podracer.

 

The other podracer noises were created using samplings from a shaving razor, a washing machine, and a particularly noisy garbage truck. I compiled and organized the created sounds together in Adobe Premiere to create the final product.
