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.
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.
An umbrella was used to make it sound like a flock of birds are flying. An iphone was used to capture the sound and basic editing was completed in garageband. (created by nick h. In digital production 120).
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!.
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.
An second mp3 recording of painted lady butterflies fluttering their wings in an enclosure (less background noise than "butterfly wings fluttering 1"). Audio captured from a video taken with a nikon coolpix camera. Enjoy!.
