I have a question about a sound effect and I thought it might be nice to start a whole thread where people can share any interesting sound effect ideas or that can ask questions or ask for opinions for sound effects they need.
Here's my specific one. I'm doing a show that is an original musical for this summer camp these kids do every year. Its about 200 kids and major production value. There is one scene were about 80 of the kids are running on from behind a large set piece and at one point they all slow down and run in slow mo, and then they all speed up again. The director looks at me and says "I need a slow motion sound effect here." What??? My only idea right now is to bring a mic to rehearsal, record the kids chattering as they run on stage and then slow that down and speed it back up. Then I could play that and mix it in with their live chatter. This doesn't really seem like the most elegant solution though, does anyone else have any ideas?
I guess I could always just play around with a synth and make something that drops in pitch and then comes back up, but that doesn't seem right either.
