Final Video for Submission

(Video to Come)

This is my final submission with the requirements fulfilled. I think with all the added colour effects and scaling it works rather well as a whole. But as with everything its all up to interpretation.

Overlayed Symbols

(Video to Come)

In this I have added rough sybols over the top to help express the feeling of the sounds.

I think this creates a much more emotional connection, and helps interact with the veiwer at a deeper level.

It really helps bring the sounds and animation to life.

Original Animation

(Video to Come)

This is the animation That I created in Adobe Flash, It is simply the Shape moving through a space while bothy the Shape itself and the Landscape react to the sounds. Not all of the animation came through in the exported video for some reason and the Circle doesn't tremble as it was supposed to.

Storyboard

Just a quick story board Showing how it will play out. With rough timing included.

Further Development

From here on it was a process of adding and taking away, seeing what worked and what worked, initially I created a background animation on Adobe Flash that summed up my base intentions (pic top left).

Once I had created this Video I imported the animation and the soundscape into Adobe Premiere and began to play around. I came up with symbols (top right) and began to overlay them over top which helped give the feelings intended. Then I began overlaying sheets of colour and adjusting the scale in places so it didnt seem like such a flat animation.

Mindmap - Intergrated Ideas

This is the mindmap that I handed in.

Concepts - Ideas for Sound Based Animation

After some initial sound recording that had no ahead thinking, I came up with an Idea to revolve my project around. Below are my original concept sketches.

My first attempt at an idea.

 Above is a more developed Idea, This Idea is based on the audio files gathered from recording the sounds of the idea of my 'Morning Routine'. The sounds I gathered were from Alarm, Shower, Breakfast, Zipping up bag, and closing the door (symbolise leaving).

I took theses sounds turned them into a soundscape. I then began developing Ideas for visuals.

The idea I developed was this 'shape' that would morphe and travel through a scene as to portray some type of emotion. 

Flipbook Animation - Three Circles

 

This is a very basic animation but I think it works.
