Sounds you say?

When i had finished the animation i went about emailing Lauren asking if she thought sounds would be a good idea.

She promptly replied and linked me to a few sound sites (i've never been a genius with adding sound/music to animations. I was always under the impression that i'd just be the animator and sound and music would be other people's jobs (which now thinking about it, is just stupid).

I tried various meows and crow caws along with various backing music but in all honesty none seemed to fit (Apart from the crow's caw which is was kept in).

I found some nice moody music that i thought fit well with the tone of the piece along with the comedy towards the end. I stand by my decision to not add too many stupid slap sticky sound effects and i think the final piece works well.


"This is cool! I think it does need sound though, if you're looking for sound effects try http://www.freesound.org/

Funny sounds:
