Hello!
I love a blank results slide and it's been a while since I used sound effects in a demo. Lately, I've been creating waveform animations in Adobe After Effects. So here's a demo that incorporates these striking visuals as part of the results slide.

- FredericBrewer3 years agoCommunity MemberWow Jonathan that was a very creative demo!
- Yvonne3 years agoCommunity MemberMy fiancé has an ear for the Wilhelm Scream and will pause and rewind a movie to prove that he heard it. XD
This design is crisp and clever. Providing audio and visual feedback with the scream clip or tongue out brings whimsy to the experience, while also demonstrating the scream. Smart use of the waveform animation as well. As a learner/user, I am interested in noting how an experience makes me feel, and I appreciate that choosing correctly or incorrectly felt light-hearted and entertaining.
The results slide is instantly understandable and is tailored well to your design.- Jonathan_Hill3 years agoSuper HeroThanks Yvonne! 'Brings whimsy to the experience' could be my mission statement 😊 That's lovely feedback for what was very much an experimental piece.
- JodiSansone3 years agoCommunity MemberI had to Google the Wilhelm Scream...I had no idea! I liked how you gave immediate feedback on your choice and this had a nice cohesive look. Your demo reminded me of this documentary I watched on Alfred Hitchcock's shower scene in Psycho. You might like it. It explores that iconic scene with movie sound experts, cinematographers, prop specialists and editors. Here's a link if you haven't seen it--it's called 78/52. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4372240/
- Jonathan_Hill3 years agoSuper HeroThanks Jodi. I've seen that documentary, it was brilliant!
As you can guess, I'm a bit of a film buff and I considered providing more background about the Wilhelm Scream. But in the time I set aside this week, I couldn't figure out where to put it without breaking the layout of this demo. That said, square SL360s interactions do work really well in RISE, so I could drop this into RISE and provide a bit more context there 👍🏼- ThierryEMMANUEL3 years agoCommunity MemberNever heard of Wilhelm Scream before. Good to know and it was fun to discover it with your demo.
- PeterMercier3 years agoCommunity MemberThis was terrific. I'm an avid horror fan and should've done much better than a 40. I must go self-flagellate now.
