Vespa sound effects recorded on the scooters themselves. Classic models including a GS and a Supersport, idling and revving, with microphones on the exhaust and the engine. Proper buzz. A modern Primavera sits alongside, plus an electric ride-on toy Vespa with a small, high-pitched drive.
The vintage Vespas include a light, rasping Two Stroke that rises and falls with the throttle. The onboard recordings put you on the seat, with the exhaust and engine captured on separate microphones so the balance can be set for the shot. Exterior takes suit the scooter buzzing past a cafe or down a side street. The modern Piaggio recordings add driving plus mechanical and electrical foley. The toy is pure comedy. Scooters also turn up among general traffic pass-bys, for a busy street where a Vespa isn't the star.
