Place this clip just before the payoff in your edit, not over it, so the anticipation does the work. Lead in with a vine boom sound for a failed plan, or follow it with a bell ding sound effect when the plan actually pays off.
Over dit geluid
This clip is a short 2.5-second recording of hands rubbing together quickly, with the dry friction sound front and center. It gives a listener a greedy, anticipatory feeling, like someone quietly pleased about what is about to happen.
