Don’t Milk It
Short comedy sketch by the legendairy team at Manchester-based collective, Greenfingers.
Client: Greenfingers Film
Sector: Narrative (2 Mins)
Services: Sound Design & Mix
SYNOPSIS
The question of how much milk to add to one’s tea is one of the most divisive out there.
A ‘splash’ for one person is a veritable torrent for another. One wrong move can lead to unpredictable (and even hostile) reactions.
Don’t Milk It takes this premise to surreal and comical places.
SOUND DESIGN
The sketch is less than two minutes long with some of it filmed in slo-mo. The intro is relatively calm, but all hell breaks loose when the question of milk is introduced.
Using Presto from Summer of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons as a musical foundation, we went to town on huge water effects and whooshes, greatly exaggerating the sound for comic effect.
We used some pitch effects on the voices and there is even a spinkling of horror too.
