I moved my old site to another location and put up a new, smaller site that should be able to handle the amount of traffic I get at geocities.
Can I link to your site?Certainly.
Please do. Just don't claim that you made it.
Can I have an mp3 of just the soundtrack to winnoise?Yes. I posted a copy at www.soundclick.com/clownstaples. Once you have a copy, if you want to put it on your website, let me know.
Can I make something like that?Go right ahead! Its a lot of fun. You don't have to give me credit for the idea.
How did you do that?The first rule of being a magician is this: never tell your secrets. Fortunately, there are no secrets to the way winnoise was made.
The statement at the end of the movie is absolutely true. The soundtrack was made entirely in Sound Recorder. But that may be misleading, since it took more that just sound recorder to make the movie.
Structurally, the sound track is made of short clips of noises or combinations of noises. Each of these clips was made in sound recorder by distorting one of the four sounds used: ding, chord, chimes, and the Mircosoft sound.
Then sound recorder was used to mix each of these clips together into one synchronized file. Considering the amount of repetition in the song, this part was really quite easy.
Finally, the sound track was imported into Macromedia Flash, and used as the basis for the animation.
No, I didn't reprogram sound recorder to be able to play by itself. It is not a screen-captured movie of something that actually happenned on my computer. It is a fictional depiction of one way the soundtrack could have been generated (but wasnt).
The fake sound recorder windows were built out of pieces of screenshots of sound recorder, and then flash was used to animate their movement. I used mspaint (another of my favorite programs) to cut my screenshots up to get the pieces I needed.
