Flapping of bird's wings. Sound effect created using umbrella. Thanks to epicsound. Com for the idea. A zoom h2n handy recorder was used to capture the sound and basic editing was completed in garageband.
Simulated wing flaps of a bird or other creature created by waving a heavy bath towel and then speeding it up and adding a bit of eq. Recorded with a sterling audio st51 condenser mic.
Used blue snowball to record flapping of thick paper, then sped up and repeated to produce an easily-looped light flapping sound. Originally produced to represent beating fairy wings in an episode of the super legit podcast.
And lift off! i made a recording by fluttering a golden spatula from near to far (take off). I managed to get this effect by wiggeling the spatula between my thumb and index finger. This was recorded at open window institute's (gauteng, south africa) sound booth.
Some recordings meant to work as the flapping of bat wings. To record this, i just used a plant with slightly leathery/plastic-sounding leaves and shook it a few times in front of a mic. Simple but effective!.
