Sound effects add a layer of complexity to movies.
But could a motion picture be made solely with sound effects and nothing visual at all?
Imagine the story that sound effects are telling as you watch this film.
Director Statement
Shooting and editing films can be a time-consuming and tedious process. And attempting to convey a story visually can be challenging.
One day (while working out at a gym of all places) I wondered if one could create a cinematic story told only through the use of sound effects and where the only visual elements were words describing the sound effects on-screen, much in the way that subtitles are used in films. Each audience member would be called upon to use his or her imagination to create a “personal vision” of the story the filmmaker was attempting to convey.
After sketching out the “scenes” for “Imagine This: A Story Told With Sound Effects,” I sourced sound effects that fit the story line, and then pieced them altogether.
