Stationery SFX Library

How many times have I had to cut a page turn, or a paper crumple, only to find one option in my library—and it’s not even be the right one? This has been a frustrating problem too for writing; there are so many different variables. The type of pen/pencil, the thickness of paper, and the surface it’s on all plays a big part in the sound. All these things are simple enough to record, but you don’t always have a microphone handy, or the time to edit and import it into your session. In fact, Steve brought up the fact that when we were cutting a documentary from China on calligraphy, we needed very specific brush sounds to cut in which we struggled to find.

We thought it would be a great idea to eliminate this inconvenience from our workflow by recording an entire library of sounds like these; a library to cover all the bases when it comes to classroom or office supplies. And so we collected all the props we could find at home, and also paid a visit to the closest Dollarama. We spent quite a few day’s in our Foley pit recording, and after mastering, here we are!

Post production sound is a very detailed and precise part of the creative process. That’s why this level of organization and attention is needed to expand our sound effects library to a point where it can not only save us time, but also enhance the realism to where no one notices the amount of effort we’ve gone to in the first place!
