These past few weeks, I must shamefully admit that I’ve been binging seasons of crappy reality TV…Ink Master in particular. There’s a particular sound the editors use in this show that is impossible to go unnoticed. Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of reality TV, chances are you’ve still heard this sound somewhere. It’s of the dramatic, screeching, tension-building stinger variety, commonly found in the horror/thriller genre.
I was recently cutting sound effects on a scene for my apprenticeship project that included a slo-mo sequence. During the spotting session, my supervisor was discussing proven ways to get in and out of slo-mo sequences with different stingers and sub dives as the bread and butter. He referenced this specific sound effect to me and I thought it would be a fun idea to try my hand at recreating it.
