Kiddy Foley Kit

I received my new (issue? episode? copy?) of Wholphin awhile ago, and I haven't watched most of it yet, if anyone wants to join me (Pete and Susan generously agreed to watch a couple movies with me, but there are still many left!).

One of my favorite clips from the last (issue? episode? copy?) was Ballistic Jaw Propulsion of Trap-Jaw Ants. Do I like experimental film? No! I just like ants.

Or so I thought, until I started clicking around Encyclopedia Pictura. I like a lot of their stuff.

One of the things I like is the sounds -- I guess it helps that they are doing a lot of music videos. I remember Jon Nichols telling me at some point that whenever I saw a really boring movie, a good trick is focus on the foley work to entertain yourself. And you know what? Sometimes it works. That and product placement -- that's kind of fun to watch for, too.

Anyway, here's my idea:

Kiddy Foley Kit

This wouldn't be some lame collection of sound effect CDs -- it would be a hands-on experience for children. There's a foley booth hands-on at the experience music project which was kind of entertaining, and this would be the home version. It would include:

P.S. Originally I was going to blog about the ferrofluid in this video but then I gave the material to Higgins.
