ONN – Final Season Of ‘Lost’ Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

Final Season Of ‘Lost’ Promises To Make Fans More Annoying Than Ever

When my sister, Caitlin, was in town in early January, we went to the New York Transit Museum with her boyfriend, Nolan.  (The museum itself is pretty interesting, but if you go too close to closing be careful not to get suckered into wasting all your time on the Triborough Bridge exhibit.  It is surprisingly thorough…and just not worth it.) On our way out, I recorded the sound of a few old turnstyles, which made some great mechanical ratcheting noises.

“What are you going to use that for?” Nolan asked.

I didn’t know at the time, but it ended up being perfect for this mock Lost commercial.  See if you can pick it out in the mix.

I also made the ABC logo “swoosh” from scratch by running a pitch-shifted gong through an envelope filter along with some white noise.  I think sounds pretty close to the real thing…
