Atmospheres & Sounds for Video - "Urban People"

Paul and the Field Recordings

Have you ever finished your video or animation and just couldn`t find the perfect backround sounds and atmospheres to bring them to true life ? If so, I totally understand you. As an architectural visualizer and video editor I often spent hours or even days browsing the net for organic, natural sounding field recordings just to give my movies the final spark and the human touch.

A year ago I finally decided I needed to record everything myself. Since I also have a solid backround in classical music and audio production it was a fairly easy step. I started going out there with my Zoom recorder, from early mornings to late nights, from dense forests to the middle of the city, from january to december.

I have put together a few sample packs with all the materials I have gathered throughout the year. Knowing exactly what a visualizer searches for when it comes to backround sounds I think I they might be just what you are looking for.

Atmospheres and Sounds for Video - " Urban People"

This pack was started as I was often creating 3D animations and needed that extra touch of human, neutral and discrete presence in the backround.

So I decided to go to different places in and around the city, to capture the mood of many different places, at different times of day. I went to parks, terraces, supermarkets, playgrounds, public institutions. The recordings range from 30 seconds up to 3 minutes in length.

So I finally came up with this pack that serves well in adding that backround human noise to all kinds of video, from 3D animations to movies or even music.

TECHNICAL SPECS :

1,2 Gb of audio content ( uncompressed )

48 Khz / 24 bit , for maximum quality & dynamics.

More than 1 hour of urban people laughing, walking, talking, chatting.

The audio content has been processed very lightly, in order not to lose the natural feel. There is some slight stereo widening, a touch of compression, everything limited at - 1.0 Db.

WHAT`S INSIDE THE ARCHIVE

5 Folders dividing the recordings into :

- Kids on playgrounds

- Public Institutions

- Supermaket

- Teenagers

- Terraces

I also included a Free Demo folder with recordings from other packs, just to give you a taste of my other releases.

DEMO :

You can listen to the demo - a selection from all the material - on the Soundcloud player I have included

So I hope you will enjoy using these sounds as much as I enjoyed collecting them. Have fun !

Yours,
