CHASE SCENE ELEMENTS - Your hands are sweaty on the wheel. The pedal's on the
floor and you focus on the road, tires peeling out underneath you.
Finally, with a quick glance back you realize - they're after you. The sounds
of a car chase are intense and easily recognizable. Cars crashing, tires
skidding and peeling, an automobile leaving the pavement and bounding back
down, and sometimes, a cliff drop, roll and fiery crash below. Because these
sound effects are so specific, and so hard to get on your own, The Hollywood
Edge is proud to offer all of the effects necessary to sound your own car chase
scenes, including high speed chases and crashes, all on a five-CD set.
The digitally, multi-track recorded and mastered sound effects include real
impacts, crashes, cliff and water drops staged exclusively for this set. Cars
were dropped from over 100 feet and crashed onto different surfaces, others
were rolled off of 250 cliffs, and special ramps were constructed for jumps and
crash maneuvers - just like scenes for major Hollywood productions. The multi
tracks can be used individually or in any combination and consist of
motor/exhaust, rear tires, interior driver's perspective, exterior bystander
perspective and a mix of all of the tracks. Featured sound elements include:
crashes (stationary and moving impacts), skids, peels, 180 degree spin-outs,
surface changes (paved road and off road), cliff drops, water drops, cornering,
other high speed maneuvers including driving at various speeds, hard ins and
jumps/hills/bumps. The types of vehicles featured include a compact automobile,
full size automobile, sports utility vehicle/truck and a sports car.
