Hi ! I haven't posted here for a while, because I have been pretty busy. I have been working on a wide range of Magic Spell sound effects in order to create a huge "Magic Spell SFX Pack".
Here is a little bit of work in progress with my "Wall of Ice Magic Spell". Basically, this spells starts with a huge burst of energy which brings out from the ground a massive amount of solid ice that builds up to an unbreakable wall of ice.
But, as it is often the case with sound effects, the listener can imagine different scenarios...
(I used footage of GOT's wall falling in reverse to illustrate my sound, as you probably have recognized. Not sure if I am breaking any copyright rules, but I haven't received any Youtube claim so far...)
