Greg Smith Sound Effects Collection<\/span><\/i><\/b> Presentation & Reception<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Hosted by: University Library & School of Communication

Ward 2<\/span><\/p>\n

On Thursday, September 15, the Library and SOC will come together to introduce and celebrate the Greg Smith Sound Effects Collection<\/span><\/em>, a resource comprised of 1450 sound effect tracks recorded by SOC adjunct professor Greg Smith over the course of his career in film and television.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greg Smith has over 25 years of experience making films, and has traveled the world extensively as a location sound recordist, among other roles. While working on set for major studios such as Lucasfilm, he eventually amassed a large private library of sound effects, which he later used as part of his thesis project as an MFA student at AU.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greg Smith Sound Effects Collection<\/span><\/em> is derived from the highlights of this thesis project, and includes unique sound effects of wildlife, vehicles, ambiences, and a wide variety of other things that go \u201cbump\u201d in both the day and night.<\/span><\/p>\n

In providing this collection to the University Library, Smith has requested that his sound effects be shared openly for the benefit of filmmakers and video and audio producers around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

For more information about the Greg Smith Sound Effects Collection and to access its tracks, please visit the Media Services webpage<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Join members of the SOC’s Film and Media Arts division for the formal presentation of faculty member Greg Smith’s sound effects collection to the University Library. The presentation will include a sampling of key sound effects from the collection and a short Q&A session with Professor Smith. Refreshments provided.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s some more background about Greg and his production company<\/a>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
