I wanted to do a little extra field recording to see if I could capture some sounds for the atmosphere of the game. I tried to capture some bird sounds and was mostly successful. Once again it was very hard to record anything without getting city sounds. EQ has helped a lot in editing because of this.
I was also looking for a sound that might be able to pass for the sound of plants growing and moving. In Too Bee when pollination occurs plants rapidly grow from the desert ground. Instead of using anything that I found in a park, I decided to use a plastic bag. I was able to control the speed of the growth I was looking for by crumpling the plastic bag myself. In many ways, I thought the plastic bag sounded a lot like the movement of foliage. It will be interesting to see how this sound might appear when I put it in sync with the visuals. I’m not sure it will work, but I wanted to give it a shot.
