OCGG Creative Brief
SFX - Weapons / Armor – Weapons (bludge, pierce, slash) hitting Chainmail armor
The Orange County Gaming Group, having successfully concluded a wildly successful Kickstarter
campaign is firing on all cylinders to source the best custom made fantasy audio this world has ever
heard. The winning track will be given to the recent backers of the Realmsound Project Kickstarter and
added as a track to the fantasy soundboard in development. For more information, please visit
http://ocgaminggroup.com/
This Gig is for Weapon and Armor Sound Effects, in this case, various sound effects of different types of
melee weapons striking a specific kind of armor.
We would like to provide gamers with at least six audio tracks that can be played highlighting the sounds
of different types of weapons striking chainmail. For information regarding chainmail, please follow this
link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail_%28armour%29). There is no ideal track length. Tracks must
provide a rich, high definition canvas for the sound effect. Nothing extra is needed, meaning no music,
no extra sound effects (screaming, yelping) or voiceovers, just some well-crafted, precise, and above all,
realistic sounds.
We are looking for three categories for these weapon strikes:
• Large Bludgeoning Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (two handed club, tree trunk, sledgehammer)
• Small Bludgeoning Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (club, morning star, mace, staff)
• Large Slashing Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (two handed sword, greataxe)
• Small Bludgeoning Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (handaxe, dagger, shortsword)
• Large Piercing Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (two handed spear, military pick, lance)
• Small piercing Weapon Striking Chainmail armor (dart, light pick, stiletto)
In all cases, direction will be provided if a good angle is being pursued, do NOT be shy to ask for
direction, we know what we’d expect from hearing these various weapons hit solid chainmail.
To audition, please have at least 1 track of each of the 3 categories (bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing).
Please note that there will be no tolerance for stolen work, so make sure that submitted auditions are
original compositions and that you have 100% rights to use and sell any samples or loops you embed.
ENJOY!
