The Sound Of Skating

The sound of skating is a short documentary, which I found on youtube, by a guy called Tyler Vitello, who created this for his final piece at university. What I love about this is the simplicity of the sound. The sound of the skateboard is dominant through out the piece. The soundtrack complements the piece really well and incorporates the skate boarding sound as the main beat of the song. His sound track is the backbone of the piece and plays through out the interviews.

The beat is very simple and only stretches across two bars but the way its been mixed good, the reverb helps to create atmosphere and helps to create space. The sound of the interviews is very clear and has been taken in a controlled environment where all the elements can be controlled. This makes the sound a good quality, clear and precise. Unfortunately we didn’t have the luxury of having our interviews in a controlled environment and they are lots of things that have affected the quality of our recordings.

  

The sound is very clever and really helps to create mood and atmosphere which I hope to create in my own piece.
