Random fun fact: Kevin Penkin, a composer who has worked on a bunch of anime and games (including, but not limited to: Made in Abyss, Tower of God, Rising of the Shield Hero, Apothecary Diaries, etc.) is Australian, and has composed music for Florence and Necrobarista, two games made by people who graduated from the exact same game design course as me (at RMIT) a few years prior to me starting the degree.

Dean Bowen (British) had what he describes as a classic country upbringing in Maryborough where he fished for redfin and trout with his father, made toast over an open fire with his mother before school, rode his bike all over the place and, when he was old enough, did the local paper round. Much time was also spent at his grandmother's who had so many pets - and birds - it was like visiting a zoo or aviary.

Inspired by many art teachers at his local secondary school, in particular Neil Leveson and Wes Lancaster, he knew from his early teens that he wanted to be an artist and, at 17, headed for the city to study at RMIT where he specialised in printmaking before incorporating painting and later sculpture.

It is not surprising, therefore, that major themes Bowen constantly visits include the city, the country, the suburbs, the human figure, birds, other animals, night skies, the working person and self-portraits. Just as he absorbed the elements of the country as a child, he continues to embrace a child-like optimism about his immediate environment and beyond.

"I am regularly working on six to eight themes, still working things out and the best way to say it and be open to chance and growth. All my work is a mix of things that come from any direction... prints become sculptures, sculptures become paintings or the other way around. I am constantly developing ideas this way. Ideas cascade from one thing to another, " he says.

Hovering Around Her Hopes (Part 1)

Audiovision Blog Post week 9

1. Research (technical, academic, creative practice)

I have begun further looking into the implementation of ambisonic audio in relation to vr capabilities. Following one of the previous weeks research around Ableton's ability to incorporate ambisonic audio into a vr video, I found a lot of problems with this as it is not a software that is specifically effective for it.

I have now decided to look into an alternative way to do this through Adobe Premiere Pro. Premiere Pro offers a much wider range of vr implementations, specifically around ambisonic audio.

This tutorial I found on youtube runs through how to layer vr video and stereo audio properly. In the following week I aim to further complete its implementation following my resolution of sound design and score. This method of implementation incorporates the mapping of left and right panning in relation to the center of the video, therefore changing the direction of where the sound is coming from based on head rotation.

I have also begun looking into field recorders and finding one that is within my price range as I plan on purchasing my own one for future projects.

I looked through various sites and reddit pages to decide which one would be the best value and it seems the tascam range offer a lot of great options. I ultimately think however, I will stick to what devices rmit has for offer to rent at the moment as these devices are still out of my price range.

2. Reflection

In class we looked at a range of techniques to help drive immersion and draw the viewer in. In relation to my own video the idea of space vs energy plays a big factor in the consistency of my sound design. At the moment I feel there are sections that contain either too many conflicting sounds (the beginning section of the video) that take away from the initial immersion, as well as too little towards the end of the animation. I plan to balance this out as well as think more over prescriptive affect vs ambiguity in my score. In my score I feel that prescriptive effect is necessary in establishing the core emotion and that I have been quite effective in that so far, however its implementation within the opening sequences and how that transitions is still not quite that effective.

The pacing of my score also stays relatively consistent at the same bpm throughout. I will try and create a bit of variation through temporal control in order to slightly shift the lanquidity of certain sections. (a bit faster in the flashback sequences to reflect their age and lifestyle contrasting their present slow and old state)

In regards to the dream sequences, and more specifically the transitions between these sequences, I want to further push the chaotic affordances around my sound design. As the sick old man is perceiving these painful health spikes and coughing fits, I feel like this opens a window to allow more interesting and almost abstract sound elements. This will further accentuate the harshness of these episodes while also better contrasting the calmness of the flashback sequences.

3. Progress

My partners have given me a rendered scene from the animation within the vr formatting. This has allowed me to get a much better understanding for the environment and elements within the scene that I can articulate on. Due to this scene being from the middle section of the video I didn't spend too much time layering the sounds and mainly reused sounds from my previous animatic sound design as a lot of the elements stayed consistent.

I also plan to begin recording a lot of my own sounds in the coming week following monday's class, going through the processes of recording so I have a better understanding around how to do it properly. I have no real experience in recording my own sounds to a high quality, whilst thinking about factors such as gain staging, level balancing and environment setup. I hope that I am able to do this in conjunction with receiving the final animatic for the animation.

My partners are working very hard to try and complete it to the best of their ability, this is so I have an accurate source to work off and finish designing before I hand it back to them to make sure everything is to their liking.

This is the current progress of the short render that they have provided:

I am still having a bit of trouble working around the new formatting of the video, however am pretty confident I will have it all figured out in the coming week.

I have also continued working on my sound spotting in regards to the new animation render as there are both new and removed sounds that were not in the previous animatic. I still plan on integrating the use of the fluorescent light as a melodic motif used to transition the scenes. with the light being a key visual element in the composition now, this helps better involve this technique as the previous animatic did not even have the light visually present.
