Soundscape - Reflective Statement

This project has not been one of my best for this year. I’m more used to hearing a sound and imagining an image for it than looking at an image and trying to work out what it would sound like, also I normally think up stories that go along with the sounds so can’t really focus on a still image.

I did find it fun using Adobe Audition and making the different sound effects but found that I was only comfortable making them individually and struggled trying to put them together so that they would make sense. I also feel that the sounds that I recorded might not have helped when I was putting them together. A lot of them sounded metallic so made it hard to create something that didn’t have that feel to it.

I did have to ask for help from someone in another year and what was their opinion on my soundscapes. They did show me that adding another layer to the scape, I was only using 3 layers to play it safe, could give the idea of depth and that there is more going on in the image which is something that I kept in mind when I tried it myself.

Minor: Pre-viz and notes

Image
This is the per-viz for my Minor project that I have been working on over the summer. I set about doing this to get a better idea of now some of the shots would play out and to test out now some of the pops be shown. I am happy with some of the shot, such as the way that the Sun and Moon are introduceed, close ups that I have used for both characters, the way that Moon swings round with the crown along with the way the image fades out on the Sun at the end. I'm not too happy with some of the shots that have the characters moving around but this might be because I was focused on the walk cycle and I might not need it in my finished animation. I also think that the shot of the sun and moon spining round might have been done abit better.

@Alan Collaboration: Walk Test

Walk Cycle test from Rhia Crouch on Vimeo . Been trying to work on Moom's walk for a skit but I'm not sure what else to do before I put him in to the screen so I can work out him swimming and coming out of the water. He is meant to walk as if he is weigh down by the goo and also wobbels a little bit. I know the eyes are off and there seems to be a phantom animation going on with his right hand that I can't work out.

Premise: Feedback Ideas

Image
After presenting my ideas for my animation I was given the idea of making the characters of the Sun and Moon look like paper lanterns. This idea would fit in with giving the story a sense of history and culture along with helping me to think about the overall designs of the characters.
