Been watchin' hotewig everyday as promised. Decided to focus solely on the score without quoting lines or singing along to jingles (the new arrivals one and the Turkey one almost got me).
The question: How did you get so skilled in matching sounds to visual actions? The sounds you pick for zooming, panning, an empire expanding, a picture getting smaller, even an arrow being drawn are so precise and perfect every time. Have you always just heard sounds accompanying non-auditory actions in your head? Or did you learn it from somewhere like watching cartoons, for example, which tend to do that a lot?
just experience. i've been underscoring all my videos for as long as i've been making videos. it's kind of a secret weapon to make people think what they're seeing is more interesting than it actually is. that is the power of music
