String Ball Causes Chaos!

We have been working on the Sound Effects for the Supa Strika television series for the past few weeks now. It has posed some interesting challenges as many of the effects we end up needing are a bit, um... original.

There is this one scene in the first episode where some monks are playing soccer with some kind of home-made ball...
and we wanted to be certain that it sounded different from an actual soccer ball, as it clearly had some unique characterists!

I found a huge roll of string in my basement, and gave it to Jesse who used it to create..
THE STRING BALL

This was all well and good, until we decided to kick it around like the monks in the television show (HELPFUL HINT #346: just becase animated characters do something doesn't mean you can too!)
Believe it or not, this ball is HEAVY... (think 10 pounds of string!). Things ended abruptly as Paul's parent's cooler took one for the team. Don't worry Paul, we won't tell them you kicked a 10 lb string ball into their cooler... and they NEVER read this blog, right?
