My animation creative back story

NOTES

• the wool mills
• Titus's children
• the restoration of the park
• genetic experiments
• a lab

For my story, I will start off in the past, setting up the base story and creating the setting for my main storyline and adding the twist and dilemma. Through the past section, I will add in facts from the history of Saltaire into the story.
For my character, I will only have one aside from Sir Titus Salt, his name will be Lucian Newton and he will be the main villain for my story but will be the main focus of my written back story with no other character aside from the GenGon Variants.

Reflection on my Sound

What did I do for my sound?

For my sound, i used the music studios facilities and equipment to record my friend playing the guitar, which i then edited to fit my animation video with qbase and added to the video using windows video editor.

What did i find difficult?

I found it difficult to perfectly edit the music so that it properly fits with my animation, it took a lot of effort to get it right. It also took a while to choose the best bits from the recording to add to the video.

Am i happy with the outcome?

I am very happy with the outcome of the video, it  took a while but i managed to get the soundtrack just right to a somewhat professional standard while it adds atmosphere to the video.

Reflection on my 3D environment

Was I happy with the outcome?

I though that the outcome of my animation and model was okay, it looked good and the animation and video work, however, i think that it looks too small and there are some flaws, such as the floating flowers,

What would I do differently?

If i did my animation again, I would have spent longer checking for little details out of place, like the fact that some of my plants appear to be floating in mid-air in my animation. There is also some text missing on one of the objects that has writing on it in real life saying who this building was made for and a bit of history.I would have also wanted to make it a bit bigger.

What do I need to improve on?

I would like to improve on my texturing skills in 3Ds Max, as I think that if the textures looked better, it would make my animation of a higher standard.

What did I struggle with?

I struggled to make sure that the plants and railing that i had placed in my environment were not floating around in my environment and is firmly on the 'floor'.

Sound planning for my animation

For my animation, I will need to create a soundtrack to go with it. For this soundtrack, i want to have a nice lively tune and sound effects such as birds and/or laughter to give it a light and happy mood. I will use Cubase to create the soundtrack and use mostly wind instruments for the song. A keyboard in the music room has a birds sound on it, so i will record that and add it to the soundtrack  Once i have done this i can edit it to my liking and add it to my animation.
