Have you ever wanted to make your own Sci-Fi sound effects? You can use many different recording devices that run on batteries to record audio “in the field”. Pocket recorders would be at the top of the list, from brands like Zoom, TASCAM, Sony and many others. You can also use, a laptop, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and your own video camera. To make a laser blast, you can use a Slinky toy and suspend the toy from a light stand and stretch it till it just reaches the floor. If you place a microphone inside the coi somewhere near the middle and tap the Slinky with something hard it will make an instant laser blast.
This article taught me how to make really cool sound effects. I think that it could be used to make sound effects in class. LIke if we were to be filming around school, we could easily make a cool sound effect.
