For the last challenge, we had you improve the color of your shots using traditional color correction techniques like curves, levels, and hue/saturation. For challenge 7, we're turning our attention to sound effects.
As a reminder, everyone who participates gets a complementary 3-month subscription to Videomaker Plus!
Videomaker Challenge 7: Sound Effects Only
For this challenge, we don't want to hear ANY natural sound. That means all sound effects should be added in post, and all dialog should be dubbed over with ADR. Try to have fun with it! Sometimes matching inapropriate sound effects to the action and mis-matched words can make for a really entertaining video.
If you need some help, check out these Videomaker resources:

How to Submit a Video:
It's a simple, two-step process.
1. Upload your video to YouTube or Vimeo.
2. Post your submission in a Videomaker Forum Topic here.
Again, we'll make this a two week challenge, so the last day to submit your video is December 14.
Now here's a special treat: inspiration!
