Whenever I watch “the making of” behind the scenes footage of a film or tv show it’s always striking to me how the on-set sound is so different from the final mix presented on screen. It’s not surprising when you realize almost all dialogue is re-recorded, innumerable sound effects are added, and emotional music is mapped to the scene all mixed together creating aural perfection.

So I find these ‘musicless music video’ remixes particularly charming and quiet funny for intentionally creating the opposite mix. The sound mixer is trying to re-create the dry onset sound of the performer in the studio. This Britney Spears rubber outfit squeak-fest is such a spot on re-envisioning of the set for Oops! I did it again. And if it’s truthful, the grips and gaffers must of been laughing their asses off!

Create your own musicless music video for a scene in a video of your choice. Use any variety of sound effects that you personally create or find from sites like freesound.org. And remember add room tone, it will make or break the remix!
