Modern Comedic Sound Design
Posted: September 12th, 2013, 9:37 am
Anytime you can edit in some fart sounds for a project it's probably a good day at work. I recently had the chance to do just that along with adding some of the classic sounds from the Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. libraries. I love that stuff and it got me thinking about modern comedic sound design. I don't watch cartoons like I used to as a kid and I couldn't think of many modern films off of the top of my head that incorporate this type of aesthetic.
What are some great pieces of work that you would recommend checking out that have the same personality as the Hanna-Barbera and Warner Bros. "cartoon" era sounds? I know a good portion can be reproduced with musical instruments, but maybe something recently has done something emotionally similar, but with a completely different sound/object. I'm sure I need to dig around with some modern cartoons and will find great results but what comes to your mind?
Here's a cool article with Ben Burtt about the sound design for the classic "The Three Stooges":
