So I’m now at a stage where I can now view over four minutes of the animation with sound.
But the thing is some of it's really not going with the music, I am however quite amazed at the amount of it that does seem to go to the music. There was no planning involved in that either. Not sure what can be done about the part that’s very out of place though...
...It’s the weirdest thing though...the other day i was very down about this, but seem to be taking it better today, that I’ve gone from really not being a happy camper about it, to really quite liking bits of it a lot. I’m sure I’ll be hot cold with it though, like all my other animations. I’ll be hating it tomorrow and liking it again the day after that.
I cant help but feel here though that Ive not done what i set out to do...you see I wanted a soundtrack that just had sound...and actually had recorded some sound. I'd recorded a brass table sound and did some work on my Korg...and I have to say I liked how that turned out.
I have a great love for films that have done that very thing, like Fred Zinnemann’s 1973 classic The Day of the Jackal which is a great, great film and I recommend that fans of simply using the sound on location in your environment check this out, really wonderful film.
I'm also here reminded very recently of how well it worked on a short bit of animation I watched the work in progress on over at CG Talk, Anthony McGrath did a great job with his sound on his Mechanical Arms advert. It really makes it more atmospheric.
But with the deadline rush I had to make a decision, and I had to make a decision fast and stick by it...that’s definitely one of the things I feel that maybe...well I spose its both good and bad...you shouldn’t really have to rush art, but at the same time you should push forward and just go with something...it can be a good decision and it can be a bad decision, (in retrospect)...but its a decision and the project now exists as something.
