Second idea with audio..

I like both ideas so maybe what i could do is to combine the both. Whilst the talking is playing the music slightly quieter then becomes louder when it stops.

Audio with the kinetic type!!

Along with the audio of the commentary i thought possibly a tune underneath? This might help make the idea of the show comical? I quite like this song to do this job so ill try it!

My first bit of audio added!!

I want to now add the next section of audio then possibly add sound effects such as tuning into the radio section and also maybe a sound for the action man scene. I did think about a backing track at the start however im in the same sort of frame mind that it doesn't really suit this.

To the sound booth!! 

I had asked my friend Marty to do my voice recording as i needed a male voice for my animation. 

To begin Mike showed me how to set it up the day before so i was then able to crack on with it whenever i was free. 

Firstly turning everything on and making sure the microphone was plugged in, and also if it was plugged into the first channel. 

The first program to edit was this.. 

 I had to make sure the second smaller button on the left was clicked, which would then activate the microphone.

Then I opened Audacity. Here i made sure the level/sensitivity of the microphone was just right. Then begin recording!

 Once i had my recording i then exported it and made sure the file was saved as an AIFF file, as then it would work in After Effects.

Few cheeky photographs: 

For my audio I want to have a running commentary saying what it says on the animation. And have the words move to the same time they are being said.

I have got a friend to commentate, and have written him a script, making some words large to make him emphasise them when he is speaking (hopefully this helps).

Audio ideas


Possibly voice over?
Vampire Weekend - A-Punk
Mario theme tune - I think this would work well to express the idea of a 'nerd' relating to computer games, it would need to be cut down, however im not sure if it would get about boring?

Action Plan!

Research more into how i want to actually do this animation.
Take photographs
Edit & play around with the photos i take.
Think about how the type will work with my photographs.
Begin the 50 second animation/title sequence.
