Foley

Foley List:
The bad thing about using free sound, is that they absolutely suck. Save for one website I stumbled across, which was dedicated solely to the sound of ‘havin a spew.’ Thousands of sounds, best described as a man heaving, then heavy thick liquid hitting the floor. Was grouse.

I need..
Snare sound effect.
Since the Shepherd has trouble loading the snare, it needs to be rickety. Some kind of springy sound, the sound of metal resisting weight. And finally a nice ‘click’ sound to tell the audience the snare is loaded. Perhaps a gun being cocked or loaded would fit this nicely.

Sheep sound.
I figured I’d try get my Sister’s 2 year old daughter to imitate the sound of a sheep. His character needs to be extremely cute, and using a recorded sound of a sheep ‘Baa’ doesn’t suit a humanized sheep well at all.
Monster. Since he is a sympathetic monster, i needed a deep whimpering to accompany his heavy footsteps, and snarls.

Bell:
The sheep’s bell is a huge story telling device. It clangs and bounces around. Any bell can help carry this effect, but it has to be accompanied by wood and grass. As the bell often bounces off wooden or earthy objects off camera. The bell also comes into contact with the monsters head, so a different sound would help here also.
