View the following videos one after the other in the order on the page, Then once you have viewed them (as many times as you want) answer the questions bellow the videos. This is not the final film as it is not completely animated yet but shall be finished in the very near future. This is mainly to give me and my project a better outlook on how an audiences perception of a character or film can change.

Sound effects
The Sound effects for the film have been completed i used a range of methods to create them. I set up an SM57 shure microphone close about 1 foot away from the sound source and recorded the sound effect several times and at different intervals to create a more natural tone. when it came to recording the sound effects for the protagonist walking down a hallway I tried recording walking on different surfaces to be able to pick the one that suited the scene best.

Allan Corbett's brief
Seeing as I am a Sound Producers i felt i was not really capable in the animation field od Study so I asked Allan Corbett a Grahic Design student from Aberdeen to help with animating the Film.
Creativity, the unusual and the eye-catching are held in high regard and they motivate me to do more further reaching work. Inspiration comes from a number of artists and designers and I usually get to know them through design blogs or magazines. Music and videogames have recently been a huge inspiration to my design style and understanding of how work can come together from a number of areas to create a unique and interesting experience.
This brief has been written so that I can work with other designers and artists to bring together a collaborative effort from a number of fields including sound design and acting with the ambition aiming towards creating a piece of work that will be interesting and hopefully not run-of-the-mill.
To create an animation of film which will use visuals and audio to help create an unusual storytelling experience. This can be accomplished by using the latest technologies (HD output) and by using creativity to enhance the film.
The work of Quentin Tarantino and Richard Linklater ere both to be heavy in?uences with the focus of audio and story being Tarantino whilst visually aiming at a Linklater film - rotoscoping in A Scanner Darkly and Waking Life.

The Outline
Introduction
I plan to compare and contrast the Stylisation of Music and Sound Effects in The Works of Quentin Tarantino and Richard Linklater and to find out how and audience's Perception of a film changes with the use of sound design and High quality sound Effects.
Aim/Vision
To create a short film using similar animating techniques used in Linklater's "A Scanner Darkly" then to add related music and Sound Effects that accent the films mood and style.
