Topic: Foley sound effects

Does anybody have suggestions on doing foley sound effects for your brickfilms? I find that you can create a much more real and natural world using Foley.

My problem is getting the footsteps right. I cannot seem to find any good footstep sounds from a library, and cannot seem to record good ones. If somebody has ideas on this, please share =P

(also feel free to share other good ways to make certain sounds, such are punches, aliens, explosions, etc.)

no more brickfilming *sad face*.

Re: Foley sound effects

I used Squid's way of making a footstep sound: lift up one leg of a minifigure and record the sound of attaching it to a baseplate by the straight leg.

I made an explosion sound by slowing down a balloon popping.

Not literally dead, just no longer interested in Lego or animation.

I use bass drums for footsteps a lot!
