Bumpers, Stings, and Transitions are your Friends

In all facets of media production, your goal is to convey information clearly and concisely, if not to convert the viewer to your way of thinking. Audio bumpers, stings, and transitions help you to achieve these goals by establishing logical connections between scenes and events.

B, S, and T's are not just "window dressing" that embellish your media by making it merely sound or "read" better. They are cues with particular moods/meanings that tell the viewer to think and react in a particular way to your scene progression. In providing the viewer with these important cues, B, S, and T's help readers understand the logic of how your ideas fit together.

Seems you can never have enough transitionary music pieces or SFX to choose from. Here is an acoustic guitar driven transition from the Big Dog Music Library Acoustic Collection that has been very useful and versitile. Use it in your next production with our compliments. And please, as always, feel free to send us your clips...we'd love to check them out.
