Kung Foley: Difference between revisions

{{examples|Common examples of {{PAGENAME}} include:}}

* That slight swooshing sound when someone's eyes dart back and forth.

** And that little "plink plink" that denotes blinking. See [[Squeaky Eyes]].

* Anything that holds immense power will usually hum or ring. See [[Whining Light]].

* The "''sling!''" of sunlight glinting off a metallic surface (especially a sharp edge). See [[Audible Sharpness]].

** The metal-on-metal sound of a sword being unsheathed. [[Reality Is Unrealistic|Swords do not make that sound]]. If they do, you've got a horrible sheathe (they ''should'' have softer interiors specifically to prevent metal-on-metal). If you hear that metal-on-metal sound when you draw your sword, it's ''bad'' because it means you're ''dulling your sword''.

* A cracking bullwhip whenever a character snaps his/her head around or makes some other sudden jerky motion.

* The rolling bongos that go along with a [[Wheel-O-Feet]].

* The slide whistle, a universal indicator that something is falling (up or down).

** If it's something big, substitute the sound of a dive-bombing Stuka airplane.

* A cymbal crash or orchestra hit whenever someone gets struck hard with something.

** Particularly heavy hits may require a gong (see also [[The Hit Flash]]).

* Old people will creak and squeak with every movement, like an unoiled hinge or a loose floorboard.

* Lit fuses will always emit a menacing hissssssss.

* The inevitable 'ting!' sound of [[Audible Gleam|light glinting]] off the hero's (or cheesy villain's) gleaming, white teeth. This particular example is used with humorous intent in the occasional sugar-free gum or dental product commercial.

* The 'frooff' noise of an object passing by the camera.

* People being knocked over to the sound of bowling pins.

* Someone sneaking around will be accompanied by strings: pizzicato for tip-toeing, slides for strides (think ''[[The Pink Panther]]'' theme). See [[Mickey Mousing]].

* Anything with a ponderous pace (elephant, bear, fat dude) will be accompanied by Tuba.

* The little 'fwip' sound of a ninja or similar character jumping improbably high or simply vanishing without a trace.

* The high-pitched sound of a coiled spring ("boing-boing") whenever someone is jumping or an object is bouncing. If the person/object is large enough, substitute a kettle drum.
