Final Outcome Reflection - Optical Sound

When starting this project I set out to record my own audio and then capture the atmosphere that the sound created visually, I wanted to have a strong relationship between the plot of my film and the soundtrack and I think this was done well. With hindsight I could have synced up my music more with the motions within my film but I don't know if this would have made it more effective. I think I captured the atmosphere of the sound perfectly through the build up and release of tension in the music being linked to the build up of tension and release in the narrative. There were points in the film where the characters made big movements through space and this synced with the texture of the sound.

I am happy with this project but I wish I could have done more with my backgrounds and added more lighting or texture to give it more of a polished visual style. I did the best I could with the time I had but I am not happy with the pacing of the middle section where the characters are suspended in space. I would have rather had them floating in slow motion with their bodies rising upwards being tracked by the camera in the shot where they stand still, but unfortunately I did not have time to do this.

I am really happy with the way the changes to the ending turned out and I think it makes the viewing experience much more satisfying. It is not a perfect film but I can see the potential.

As the brief was to create a piece of animation inspired by music I feel like I nailed it. I created the music without imagery in mind and then listened to it over and over and used it to inform every decision. The slighting melancholic low fi recording style was embodied by the quiet lonely swamp frog, the background fuzz of the recording matched the quiet background noise of insects at night and the rise and the change of pacing and introduction of more dynamic guitar lead runs of a second guitar inspired the introduction of a second frog. I am really happy with how well sound and imagery went together. The syncing wasn't the emphasis but the brief specified that inspiration and relation to the music was most important. I have never wanted to tell a love story or do something very endearing but the music forced me down that path in this project. Despite this tangent from my usual style I think the narrative and music work well together and I'm proud that I managed to record my own sound track.

OPTICAL SOUND : THE ANIMATIC (CREATIVE DEVELOPMENT #2)

Here's my finished animatic for the "Optical Sound" assignment. I only had 24 hours to finish the whole thing from scratch since i had a family emergency that kept my busy for most of the week. but i feel like it has come out pretty well.

FEEDBACK :

There was barely any constructive criticism apart from the fact that the conversation in the beginning needed voice acting instead of callout messages on screen. Everyone were understanding and supportive of the family emergency i had and got carried away by the fact of me finishing the whole thing in just 24 hours. they felt like it fit the brief perfectly and worked pretty well.

But if they were to give more constructive criticism, i strongly believe it would've been about the lack of environmental design and character design since neither the animatic nor the concept art showcase that properly.

A Cube in the Sky

This was a piece that Aldo compose previously for a project that didn’t come to fruition, but he was happy to share it with me for this project. 

I literally did have NO CLUE what to do here and my musician friend gave me his vision an a light came up to me.

Creative Development Optical Sound

I re recorded my audio, edited the timing of my previous animatic to fit it, and then took the edited version with new sound into Harmony to begin my plan.

I created a timing layer and went through plotting key points in the song to the timeline, this would be helpful when I started to animate.

As you can see, when the animation was finished it had a lot of confusingly named layers, so segmenting each part to a pre planned time guide was a very helpful way to keep everything relatively organised.

Optical Sound Pt.I

Here’s a GREAT assignment that encourages me to start thinking in visual terms of the music. 

Starting of a new research:

As it sounds, this week’s assignment refers to how we perceive music and how to express those emotions and feelings visually. For this task, I had a couple of ideas, but I decided to challenge myself. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to meet a great an talented musician, Aldo Teomitzi. He is studying too at the University of Hertfordshire like me, but doing an MA in music. 

So Aldo and I talked and he was happy to make part of the project. I was not ready for what he was going to send me.
