Ghosts Of Bethlehem Steel


Recommended Posts

An inside look at Bethlehem Steel, the plant that made the steel for many American cities - until the end. This is what the end looked like. I added some sound design to the photo narrative, but it's the photographs that tell the story. Some sound effects I made myself and others came courtesy of the BBC Sound Effects Library. The photos are excellent and I wish I could give credit to the photographer, but I don't know who he was. He might have worked there, he might not have worked there. The photos were not signed.

Impressive.

The pictures talk about desolation. Such big structures and nobody around. The windy sounds at the beginning are excellent as an intro. Even the silent time is effective. From 4:25 it's a bit disturbing.

In summary, I think this is like a documentary without words, but without the music (¿concrete music?) it wouldn't be possible. It's amazing how you keep the interes for > 6 minutes. Great. I like it.

I thought that you would like it, Luis. It's dark and creepy. It almost looks like something happened one day and everyone left their machines and just went home and never came back. I am always tempted to add music to it, but it would only detract from the narrative in the photos. Thanks for your comments. You totally got it.

As a gamer & the minimal multimedia designer i am, honestly i have to say that audio effects/ sound effects must fit with the enviroment of a video game. As all we know video Games and graphics nowon are almost like real movies. The sound effects that  Ken320 choose to show all these old stuff laboratory images from the past, in my opinion match awesome! 

 Ken320 You ve got it! ;)
