Music and video go hand in hand, elements that complete one another. When matched perfectly, they come together to make a scene a lot more memorable. Just ask Quentin Tarantino<\/a>. If you take music out of a scene, the whole effect vanishes immediately. Try watching the choppers scene from Apocalypse Now<\/a> without music – It loses its impact. That is what led to the concept for our Valentine\u2019s Day commercial<\/a>: making a love scene without music just doesn\u2019t work. As \u201cevidence\u201d, we chose to use foley sound effects to show how three different love scenes would look and sound without music. Spoiler: very bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make every music-less scene as cringe-worthy as possible, we produced special foley sound effects<\/a>, ASMR style. In case you missed it, ASMR<\/a> is a global trend that uses the production of a range of sounds, like whispering, tapping and hand movements, to induce a soothing and satisfying sensation. The technique of creating ASMR borrows a lot from the SFX world. However, the sounds we produced were meant to be anything but relaxing. We recorded all the follies in a studio using an AKG 414<\/a> microphone and placed it close to our mouths to make them sound really awkward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can check out some of the other techniques used in the three scenes of our Valentine\u2019s Day ad – the kiss scene, the nightclub scene and the broken heart scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
