Comic sound effects
Okay, perhaps no one here will be able to help me but I want to give it a try atleast. There seem to be a lot of creative people here.
I got a little problem I encountered while writing my TR comic script. I managed to gather a list of several useful sound effects that I can use, but I haven't found one I like for when Lara lands back on her feet after she has done a jump. Two sound effects I have found on other comics, for people landing after a jump, are THUD and THUMP. Somehow I don't really feel like they fit Lara though. So does anyone have any ideas that can help me out? Thanks in advance. Wendy |

Hmm, the H behind the word does make it look a bit better. Thanks.

...Bounce?
Jump? Flump? Hop? Thund? Trot? Tmp? Thwap? I don't know, THUD is such a good sound.. |

It depends on what surface Lara is landing on after a jump. If she's landing on a stony surface an understated "crunch" would be suitable. If Lara is jumping onto a metal surface a more obvious "clang" would be heard.
Sometimes Lara will land on surfaces which don't make much noise at all on impact like Sand. Sand isn't a very noisy thing to land on. Hope that helps |

Thanks everyone, there's lots of useful info posted here for me.
I'm getting used to THUD a bit, but still I want to use different effects depending on the surface she lands on, so thanks again for all the suggestions. I'll just have to read more english comics I think, so I learn the english sound effects a bit better. |
