- Every sound effect of mine in this tutorial/video : bit.ly/My-Sound-Effects
Sound design in our filmmaking process is extremely important, it's not something I've always paid a lot of attention to but the more I've progressed as a creator/filmmaker in this industry I've learnt the power of sound effects and how it can have such a strong impact on our visuals and the emotion of the audience.
In this tutorial of a basic travel style montage/film I touch on a few tips and topics on how to manipulate sound effects and where to use various elements such as risers, drones, ambience, underscores and transition type sound design to bring your visuals to life.
I created this Essential Flow SFX pack/bundle with my close friend and composer Daniel Deuschle after realising I owned so many different sound packs and only used 1 or 2 sounds from each. So we set out to create over 120+ essential sound elements for creators who want to add another layer of depth to their edits. This sound effect pack is something I've been incorporating into my edits and found is extremely useful for various types of edits. I really hope these essential sounds can be of use to others and after time we could continue to cater more variety for all your needs.
All the sick ass stock footage I used by the way was from ArtGrid - bit.ly/stockclips

4:25 That metronome tip just blowed my mind. So simple, yet powerful.
"Just the basics of sound design"
One big takeaway I got from this was that audio is a big part of making video transitions feel smoother. Even if it's just a jumpcut, the sound effects made it feel like an extremely smooth transition
Absolutely! I’m a beginner and have been so focused on trying to get some natural transitions. But now, thanks to the video, I feel a bit more relieved that I can use sound effects with jumpcuts.
A few elements of sound design:
Risers
Drones and Atmospheres
Slow Motion
Time-Lapse
Transitions (Wooshes, Hits, etc)
Ambience (Wind, Forest, Coastal Environments)
thank u so much
Lovely!
How to get those sounds
Something new today! Not my usual type of content but thought I would make a basic tutorial of sorts. I will still be uploading my usual 'travel' type of films but if you like this type of video showing how I create, let me know and I can try get better at it. Take care and I appreciate all the support!!! ✌
Jeeeee good job Bro!!
This is so good for learning!
I loved it🥰
Keep on teaching us🙌🏻
Tutoriols 😍
This is soooo freakin awesome! Thank you thank you. Please post more tutorials - editing workflow, shooting for transitions (I notice how most of your transitions seemed to have been shot planning ahead), how your shoot on location (maybe try having a GoPro on your head or chest running while you film - kind of like what Brandon Li does). You are my favorite filmmaker so any tutorial from you is GOLD! Thank you
Do you think you're going to make a course?
👍
Not any time soon but i'll try do more of these.
HOW is this video not more popular. This was such a professional, concise, and clear tutorial. thank you so damn much
I think because people don’t understand the importance of sound design at the beginning just like me. When I started I used to focus more on visuals and flashy transitions.
@@cammychose6788 yep sound plays equal importance as what visuals are. tbh at one point your visual mistakes are easy to miss out but if the sound quality or designing isn't done proper, doesn't matter how good visuals are, the entire clip sucks. there are many movies which gone flop just because they weren't sounding good.
TH-cam algrothim sucks
Agreed, have been looking into adding more sound design into my videos. Not just some random after thought at the end, but as a crucial part of the storytelling process. Excellent video
It's not actually sound design, it's identifying sound effects. This is a common current problem in film: misusing a word so it becomes a trendy affectation which ultimately creates more confusion because our vocabulary has been hijacked.Sound design is a full on collaboration between the 3 disciplines involved. First, Production Sound Mixing, then Supervising Sound Editing and finally Rerecording mixing. there are additional creative contributors within these 3 team sets but the SD term is not correctly used as a synonym for film sound editing. The term came into usage through the pioneering work of Walter Murch and Ben Burtt when, they pioneered the rethinking of approach to be a holistic one replacing the compartmentalized approach evolved in Hollywood. There is a reason that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences does NOT award an Oscar for sound design, but rather applies peer recognition for excellence to the 3 essential disciplines that work in collaboration. Every shot is hand made (my motto).
This video is SO good! Great tutorial 👊
Thanks so much! Truly appreciate it.
I watched this video, because I saw your comment highlighting at the top. Thanks for commenting. This was damn good❤️

Can you make a review video for the cinematic pictures and the colors for this movie.

This is not only for editors/sound designers but even for the general public to know and appreciate the efforts that are put into the making of films. This is putting a new level into sensory sensations. Thank you.
Probably one of the best tutorials I have ever watched. I feel fresh, and right now I just want to add some sound layers into the videos I am currently working on hahah Thanks for the inspiration and for every minute you've spent on this video teaching the internet how to properly sound design our films!
Talents like this one are the ones who should be given more appreciation.just today i watched his one travel video by chance and wow after that i watched three more of his videos.this is the kind of content i was looking for. Honestly i love your work.this really got me motivated.THANK YOU
this is one of the best videos that i've ever watched on sound design on youtube. covers the really important broad topics of sound design elements. i never really used atmosphere in my edits, and after watching this video, it's going to be a priority. great video and definitely subbed
Thank you so much man.
I always wondered how these sound effects are so perfect.
I will keep learning and practicing these techniques
Have always loved the sound design in your travel films, great to see some of your process and resources! 🙏🏼
Amazing, thank you so much for this! I have binge-watched every sound design video on YT so far and this one has been the best.
This was one of the best straight to the point tutorials i've seen on the Internet.
This is a genuine class of Sound design with personal notes, great way of explaining your elections in each place.
This is inspiring! I'm gonna download a bunch of stock footage and sounds and learn how to do it just the way you did it. Thank you for sharing this!
great tutorial!. im pretty new to sound design and have at least up until now used it on a very basic level. but this video not only showed my the how, but also gave me the motivation to pay more attention to my sound design ! again, thanks alot!
Awesome! Thank you so much Brynn. Your videos inspire me to learn more about filmmaking and your tutorials and BTS are super helpful! Please keep up the amazing work. Would love to see more.
This is a true manifestation of dexterity.
He has reasons for all his decisions. So justified. I loved the blue strip and yellow region explanation. Keep it up bro.
That’s really amazing! Please do more tutorials! I’m an editor but honestly the sound design I think is the most difficult part of the whole process..
Incredible to see the kind of thought process that goes into sound design. Pure genius, mate!
As someone getting into filmmaking, sound is for sure something I overlooked way too much. Thanks for this amazing tutorial!
As my man Parker Walbeck says:
"audio is half the viewing experience"
Woow, there's so much that goes into sound design that I didn't realize. Amazing job!
I'll be using this as my sound design bible from now on. This is a masterclass Bryn 🙏🏾
This is called a Masterpiece!! Thank you so much for this outstanding tutorial. YOU ARE REAL HERO!!!❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU! This is one of, if not, the most helpful, specific, and technical tutorials I've ever seen!! Thank you, again.
Thank you for this tutorial! I hope you make many more. You’re so underrated as a filmmaker
Love it dude, can't wait to use this sound pack in my future edits. So stoked on this!
Loved the tutorial. Found another thing to explore 👌 Please keep uploading more tutorials. It's really helpful for many of us who are willing crazy to learn ❤️
I think i learnt sound design by just watching this video. Thank you so much.much much appreciated hope you upload more tutorials. I never thought how sound design can make the visuals 100% better. Thank you once again. I hope I'll master sound design fast.
1:26 so sick!!! Wow this was so good thank you!!
Pierre Lambert salut
5:20 "layering is where the magic happens" true statement for every design software, arts, movement, life.
Wow thank you so much man! This video is pure gold. I knew sound design was very important and I was adding ambiances and sounds like birds or things like this but I didn't know anything about risers, drones, slow motions etc.
Thank you so much!!!!
If not the best, then in top 3 tutorials I watched overall. But probably the best. Such a great and concrete breakdown. Thank You so much dude, sub very, very well deserved!
Found this on Reddit, absolute gold, really love the breakdown. Looking forward to more! :)
I love this, more tutorials would be awesome. Your videos are incredible!
brilliantly structured and presented - I learned in these 10 minutes more than ever......... appreciate your modesty. do not loose it as you grow.
You are really underrated Man. The effort your are giving the outcome that are coming is really outrageous. Hats off.
OH MANNNN!!!! I literally watched the intro, heard you say “the sounds are all from my personal essential flow sound effect pack” (which was a classy plug, not very showy at all) and I IMMEDIATELY (no lie, at that exact moment) went and bought it. Didn’t even finish the video till now! I have to tell you, without a doubt, these are THE BEST sound effects I have found ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET!!! I will buy more packs if you make more! They are SUPER HIGH QUALITY, BEAUTIFUL, DIVERSE, and INSANELY CINEMATIC!!!!! I have been looking for THIS sfx pack for years! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! I couldn’t be happier! I never really comment on TH-cam videos but wow. I have to give credit where credit is due!! I seriously have watched hundreds of Sam Kolder, Peter McKinnon, Matt Cuomo, and so many more and always say “I have no idea where they found such awesome sound effects”. Now I have just as good, no, BETTER sound effects! If you can’t tell I’m literally ecstatic and can not WAIT to show off my videos using these! You just got me so pumped to make more videos. I can’t thank you enough. Keep them coming, PLEASE! Oh, and such an educational video about how to use these sounds to build an awesome edit. Thank you and your friend who made these!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just realized there was a discount, I was too excited to wait for it, but as someone else said I still got 10% and even if I hadn’t, this pack is WELL WORTH EVERY PENNY!!
Bro, I can appreciate the effort and time that went into just writing this haha. Thanks so much and I’m stoked you dig the pack, I hope it can be of good use ✌️
Haha thanks! It sure will get put to good use, and I’ll be telling my friends about it too. Keep making awesome content! The tutorials, cinematic films, sound packs, all of it! 😎😁👏🏼👍🏼🥳
Yoooo.. So pumped you like the pack!! This comment makes the work all worth the while 🙌🙌
Daniel Deuschle thanks!! I’m sorry I didn’t realize you had an account too or I would have also thanked you! This is the most amazing pack I have ever found. You guys are INCREDIBLY talented. Every single sound is cinematic, clean, and so awesome. I will be on the look out for whatever else you guys put out. Content and especially sound packs lol keep up the amazing work for the video community!
My god.. starting off teaching myself filmmaking I thought I needed endless songs to create atmospheres but this taught me that while this is harder to learn and do it's well worth the effort! Thx for this insight dude!
Bought the Essential SFX pack as well to start playing around with. Man I'm excited! Haha It's like a whole new world has revealed itself to me.
How is the sfx pack he sells? Is it worth the money?
@@wcsdiaries I do think it's worth it. It contains a good variety of sfx that gets you going. Personally I wasn't into this at all before so any more than this would have overwhelmed me for sure! Oh and the quality of the sound if really crisp!
Going forward I added some free SFX to this: for example youtube's free SFX and Adobe's and purchased one of the packs from Lens Distortion.
@@MJBold_1 Are the SFX unique, or could you find most of them on youtube?
@@wcsdiaries Unique for sure, all of the trusted (paid) SFX bundles are unique.
All free SFXs I have found (TH-cam, Blackmagic, Adobe) are at best foley, at worst just taking up space on your hard drive. I mean the only SFXs I regularly find myself using from the free SFXs are simple whooshes or so, nothing complicated or complex and even there I only use them to add variation in the SFXs I end up using.
Paid >>>>> Free SFXs.
wow i love this video. I had a general idea sound was important in filmmaking but this video blow my mind. You put so much thought into what sounds to use, how to edit them to make the video seem seemless. thank you for showing us your work! this is on par with star wars level of sound design :)
Love this type of video tutorial!!! Love the professionnal feelig to it and the excitement that you bring to your teaching
Hi, Aya from Japan. I bought "Essential Flow SFX" just hours ago and already downloaded. What a nice and amazing package !! All sounds are very impressive !! Thank you so much for you and Daniel such a great creativity. I will use for the sounds my latest trip to Hokkaido❣️
hi dear Aya❤
ayana moon?
I feel like constant power is the most under-utilized effect haha, so stoked to see you use it as much as I do!
ive been looking for a sound design tutorial, im glad i found this!
You're just great... I've been wanting to work on my sound design skills. This has just motivated me so much. You're a legend!!
This is probably the most helpful video I've ever seen on sound design.
I really like this kind of videos. Please, produce more because this way you really help your audience and all the people who are inspired to do what you do.
I just watched this, twice, with a bunch of rewinds in between. Absolutely amazing tutorial on sound design right here!
You're a freakin genius man. I've never been amazed by sound design this much
Thanks for the information. it's really helpful 😊
Great tutorial. Huge dose information delivered in bite sizes, easy to understand, easy assimilate. Fantastic content overall. Can we have more of this kind of tutorial? I hope this is not asking for too much.
I can rewatch the sequence over and over. Too good! Literally got yourself a subscriber from this!
Nicely done bru. Such an inspiration. Would love to see more tutorials from you. Keep it up! 👏🏽
7:19 His imagination is next level
Risers - suspense

This is so awesome, one of the best sound designing explanation for beginners. Really looking forward to more from you, thank you!
DUDE, the sound design on that intro is incredible. Amazing work.
Out of all the 'TH-cam Film Makers' this guy is by far the most tallented editor. Amazing stuff, hugely appreciate the tutorial!
Also see Aiden Robin
Bro can you make a list of all your favourite youtube film makers and chanels which talks about cinema
Dan Mace is one of the bests also!
How can anyone put a thumbs down on this video
Absolutely fantastic sound effects, and your passion shows all through this video.
Well done!
only haters brother, sadly...
Thanks so much. This is always one of the things that I think about least and last and yet adds so much to a piece. Really inspiring and excited to put this into practise!
Fantastic tutorial and bought the sound pack yesterday.. Dude, BRAVO on the work you put into that! Complete game changer for a project I'm currently working on.. I'm sure I'll get a ton of use of it for years to come. Thanks!
I can VOUCH this is the best sound pack available on the whole internet. For that price I had to buy it myself...
Appreciate the support and feedback 🙏🙏
Bought the SFX pack like 10 seconds before you said your discount code!! 😅 But still worth it, was offered a 10% for signing up to the website anyway so got a little discount...! Would love if you did more of these sort of videos! I think your travel videos are incredible and would love to learn more about how you approach the different aspects of filmmaking!
haha i'm so sorry but I truly appreciate it. I hope these few sounds can add value to your work and hopefully there will be more to come in the future. Take care
hahah I did the same thing
Months later would you say the SFX pack is worth it?
Thank you so much for this, perfect timing to watch this in the middle of my project. Am really grateful
Probably the most helpful tutorial on sound design I've seen on TH-cam! Thank you 🙏
This is a difficult time to me

"underrated"
i start following you after watching this"BANGLADESH | Raw Beauty
" video
I am From Bangladesh 😍😍😍... Huge fannn❤❤❤
Love your work Mate. You have got your own different style of story telling and you are among the best when it comes to sound design in travel video. Glad you shared your tips.
Bro, I am a new fan from Vietnam. A friend of mine told me that you will do tutorial vids and boom, here it is. Thank you, this is what I am waiting for. Keep up the good work and I hope you will give my beautiful Vietnam 🇻🇳 a visit real soon.
Yeah brother, we absolutely want more tutorials like this from you! You're great! Greetings from Italy ;)
9:28 thats how I know when I am wearing my ear plugs the wrong way😂
YEOOOO this is EXACTLY what I needed - you are a LEGEND for this one!!
Loving this new type of video! Appreciate your work and it's great to have insight into your creative process. I've been following you for a little while now and love your style. Some ideas for some other "tutorial" type videos that I personally would also find interesting from you: How you plan out a scene and choose your lenses when you travel, your in camera transition techniques, or an in depth review/breakdown of the edits/filming behind one of your videos (i.e. Bangladesh)
"Bangladesh Raw Beauty" was an amazing vid !!!!
Take love ❣️ 🇧🇩
Exactly what I was going to say. The sounds of "Bangladesh Raw Beauty" was absolutely amazing and perfect for every situation and with the culture too. Love the way he do films and the music sounds.
I am.also😍😍😍
Bak mc bal
you're a master!!! if you want a student so you can teach him please consider me..
thank you very much! I was going thru lack of inspiration and ur video just gave me a brand new angle of view
this is one of the greatest tutorial ever on sound design ❤
First of all: this is fokin A!
Second of all: how long does it take FOR YOU to make this edit?
It's basics, so what's advanced ☠️ ?
🥶🥵🫣😯😦😮😧☠️ that true !
Wow I was completely unaware of all the layering in audio in professional production. I have a newfound respect for the talent that all goes into it by people like you.
8d music......bgm.....hug me.....
** this is the best sound design video i've seen till now. Great work Bry. Thank you for doing this.
There is no music?
So I must be crazey cause I'm listening to music.
Brilliant tutorial! It was great to hear about your thought process behind the sounds
OMG - I am loving this! I'm an editor for a company that does small reality type shows. I remember distinctly talking to some new crew members - to NOT use music throughout a piece - and to use sound. They all turned around and looked at me with what I could best described as mystification. They were actually very uncomfortable not using music back to back. But I LOVE LOVE LOVE sound design. Just the best. And this vid you've put together makes me sooooo happy! Thanks!
Lol, your excitement is contagious! Makes 2 of us 🥰
Wow, this was an epic tutorial for me in which I learn another dimension of telling the story with impact to influence our viewers and without sound nothing is possible. Thanks once again and See ya SOON!
Bro, Im working on a short film.. typed in sound design tips scrolled through like a 100 wack videos, only to stumble on yours, a fellow South African, who's video gave me just what I needed to complete my last scene. Its an experimental short, I'd almost call it a live action/motion graphic hybrid. Using After effects for the edit and Logic Pro for the sound design.
Went through your page, I'm now certain you are South African.
Incredible work bro.
Man I just loved the way you explained everything, we want more tutorials please.
Man, this is big deal! I’ve so many videos but this changed the game! Awesome. Please continue these type of videos, take care!
Man!!! Your videos are from another planet!! So inspiring!!!!
Great tutorial, thank you! I started using a lot of these techniques on my videos and it drastically improved my story telling.
such a professional adn awesome tutorial, i got a lot about understanding sound, thanks man !! can wait another process in tutor
What an amazing tutorial. The sounds of "Bangladesh Raw Beauty" was absolutely amazing and perfect for every situation and with the culture too. Love the way you do films and the music sounds.
Love from, Bangladesh
First video I watch about sound design. Very helpful and informative. Thank you very much!
