The text is a transcript of a video where the host challenges five "blind" contestants, who have no prior knowledge of their tasks, to create foley sounds for a watermelon smoothie video. The contestants, who are hired through Fiverr, include Peter Budai, Mark Schwede, Wormhole Sound, Marco Ivachi, and Jonas Audio. The host's goal is to determine the quality of the foley sounds and the price point associated with each seller.
The host provides a detailed description of the video and the actions that need to be recorded. The contestants are provided with a message requesting custom fully recordings and sound design for the video, and they are given full creative freedom. The host also requests proof of the sellers recording the sounds to ensure authenticity.
The host then introduces the contestants and their respective price points. The contestants are given a task to create a video clip that requires some action, and later record audio to be paired with that action. The host also mentions that the sponsor of the video, Fiverr, has accepted the challenge and provided the opportunity to hire foley artists to create sound effects for the watermelon smoothie video.
The host then watches the videos and starts judging them. The goal is to guess which seller and the respective price point goes with which video. The host finds it difficult to distinguish between the quality of the foley sounds and the price point associated with each seller.
In the end, the host reveals that the best foley sound was created by Jonas Audio, who was hired for the most expensive amount, $1000. The host also reveals that Marco Ivachi, who was hired for $400, created a good foley sound. Peter Budai, who was hired for $40, created a decent foley sound. Mark Schwede, who was hired for $80, created an average foley sound. And Wormhole Sound, who was hired for $200, created an overedited foley sound.
The host concludes the video by expressing their surprise at the quality of the foley sounds created by the contestants, considering their price points. They also thank Fiverr for sponsoring the video and encourage viewers to check out their store on Fiverr for their favorite sellers.
