We had the pleasure of having Matt Applegate come in for a couple of months to teach us about sound. Now at first I thought these lessons would purely be just learning about how to make sound, but no, we also learnt the effects sounds have in games and movies(when I say movies I mean star wars ;P).
And I found this quite interesting, I didn't know just how deep the thought process of adding sound is, I mean people really think about the effects that sound has on people when they are watching their film or playing their game. We looked a few games and looked at how the sound was used and what it meant. And it was very surprising how much information you can get it from it.
However these lesson were annoying for a bit because all the time when i was playing a game or watching a film i was analyzing the sound lol. I suppose this the whole point of all the lessons just annoying how I did it without even thinking about it. Overall I enjoyed these lessons and loved the fact how he can make pretty much anything into a machine which can be used for music lol.
Also I am sad to say I was the one who got him into left for dead 2 :P however he thanked me a lot because of the great usage of sound, which is why i told him about it in the first place.
